Hand Woes

New Year's Eve day I had a dr appointment for a hand issue that has been bothering me for some time and brought my whole entourage along for the fun!

Both boys did fantastic and loved playing with the toys in the waiting room.  Benjamin especially loved all of the treats (lollipops) that he got while we were waiting. And while I didn't get much relief for my hand I did get a referral to a hand surgeon who hopefully can provide some relief. 

Big Boy Bed

So continuing on with Benjamin's birthday...  We had moved Benjamin into a toddler bed some time ago and he was doing fantastic, but we just thought he needed a bigger bed, a big boy bed! So for his birthday we got him a new bed and he loves it!

The first thing he did was jump on it! I need to polish the brass bed but will get to that eventually, maybe over spring break because that is a big job! But I love the way it all came together with the gingham sheets, chambray duvet and the quilt for a pop of color. And most importantly, our big boy loves it too! 

3!

3 years ago this sweet baby boy made me a Mommy!  It has been the most amazing 3 years watching Benjamin grow into the smart, silly, funny boy that he is.We celebrated his 3rd birthday yesterday at Chuck E. Cheese's with all of his best friends-Evan, Sadiq, Layla, Brayden, Avery, Livia, Alex, Reagan, Alyssa, Paige, Kian, Lindy, and Bralin.  Benjamin had the best time and was so excited that it was his birthday!

Thomas was a little apprehensive about it all but was excited to see one of his friends at the party, Layla's brother, Jude, who is in Thomas's class at school!

After the party we came home and took a nap and then opened up all of Benjamin's presents!

And spent the rest of the evening playing with new toys!

Happy Birthday Benjamin, we love you so much!

Christmas Morning

We woke up Christmas morning excited to see what Santa had brought while we were sleeping...

Benjamin and Thomas loved all of their presents from Santa and we had such a fun morning playing with everything and eating a delicious breakfast casserole that Auntie made for everyone!

Christmas Eve

This year we had Christmas Eve at our house and it was so much fun. It was also nice that Thomas was still able to stay on his regular schedule.

I wanted to make sure I got pictures of our decor before everyone arrived.

Thomas's favorite toy was his new crawl around car!  He loves it!

We had a fabulous evening! We opened presents from family and enjoyed a fabulous meal! Then we tucked in to await Santa's arrival Christmas morning.
