Julian's first haircut

Such a big boy!! He had the earliest first haircut out of  all three boys. He kept turning around and looking at Cindy like she was crazy, but he also had "MickMe" on so he was pretty good. 

 Where's the BABY?!?!?

December happenings

Spanky came back! He was on our ceiling fan-that crazy elf!!

                                                       December 1st was 60 degrees. It was BEAUTIFUL!!

  A local garden store always has Alpaca's during the Christmas season. Julian loved them.

                                When you can't wait to get inside

  The boys all love the trains at Kenilworth Mall, and Julian was just a bit stingy with the buttons.

 We headed down one night to A Symphony of Lights in Columbia, MD. It was a fun drive through light display that Ryan wanted to do again that moment. The line of cars prevents that.

Don went with us as we headed down to 34th street. It is an entire street in Hampden that lights up their row homes. You could spend hours looking at some of the intricacies. 

Ryan was adamant that it wasn't cold. Not a fight worth having. 

Ryan's show days

Ryan technically attends two preschools, Towson Presbyterian Preschool, and the kangaroo preschool program at Rebounders Gymnastics (where he also takes gymnastics). TPP had a Christmas Program and Kangaroos had an observation day in the same week!

                                        SERIOUS need of a haircut. But the kids were SUPER cute. They memorized The Night Before Christmas and sang five songs. One of the funniest things is that one of the little girls in Ryan's class won't talk to him because "he is just too cute!" Hah! They are 4!!

 Ryan loves showing off his skills at gymnastics. I love that the boys love gymnastics. Who knows if they will still be doing it next year, but for now, they love it!

And then with his actual gymnastics class

Christmas Cookies and Gingerbread houses

Gingerbread house and cookie decorating could also be dubbed "how much can you eat before you get sick" in our house. Once Julian figured out he could eat this stuff he was finished! The big boys worked hard and picked out what they wanted to eat assoonastheyfinished.  

 I don't think I ever got an entire picture of our little village and ninjas, but they were cute.
