| Since it's our favorite little man's first full Christmas season, I've taken it upon myself to teach him all there is to know about it. I sing songs about Baby Jesus, I point out all the lights, I let him help me get Advent Calendar treats I tell him about Christmas Cookies, and I even dress him up like Santa in the bath. |
 |
| Ho Ho Ho! Merry Christmas from our newest holiday cheermeister! |
 |
| Mom is always and forever trying to slow our growth down. She begs and pleads with us to stop getting bigger all the time, but we just can't! 12 days until the little man is a year old. How did that happen?! |
 |
| And... here's Cole at exactly 11 months and 2 weeks - which was last week wasn't it?! |
 |
| What a great surprise! My buddy Braylon and his family called us to meet them out for an afternoon. We started out with a round of black light mini golf. B went absolutely CRAZY on the course. |
 |
| He thought it was the coolest thing he'd ever seen. Braylon and I were a little too serious about our scores to play around with the scenery. |
 |
| It was so awesome to hang out with my buddy again. I sure have missed him. |
 |
| We spent more time wrestling than anything else. |
 |
| We won a lot of tickets. We're pretty good at everything. Thanks for inviting us Matthews Family! Can't wait to see you again bud. |
 |
| We're the best of friends even when Mom's away. This weekend she picked right back up like she'd never missed a beat because we got along SO well and the house was so nice and clean. Sunday morning, Cole woke up and decided to make me a big boy bed in his room so we could start having brother sleepovers. Here he is reading me a story. |
 |
| What a great kid, eh? |
 |
| Then we played a few rounds of chair spins. |
 |
| Seriously... we're best buds. |
 |
| Noogey?! What?! |
 |
| Mom's home! That means we're busy cleaning up after another "boys week." |
 |
| You would likely be shocked at how clean we were this week. It didn't take us long to tidy up and then we were on our way to visit Daddy at work! I took it easy and enjoyed a self decorated sugar cookie with the old man. |
 |
| Bryce buttered up Daddy's boss. It is annual review time after all... |
 |
| Maybe a future Schwabian? Mom says, "Oh No!" |
 |
| Up until now, we've wondered if the little man would end up being timid. Um... not today! He was the life of the party. He ran after all the big kids and pretty much terrorized the joint. He even tried to get past security! |
 |
| Finally, we got to spend some time with the big man himself. If you can't tell, we're both BIG fans. I asked for a walking Iron Man, a Big Kid Bike, and more Angry Birds (I have the red one and a pig). |
 |
| Merry Christmas from Cole, Bryce and Santa! |
 |
| Much like they do at NASA, here in Vandyville we often like to put our smallest family member to the test. Here B is trying out the awesome new toy Didi and Baba gave him. It works much better when Mommy rides it with him. |
 |
| That sure doesn't stop him from trying though! We're having a ton of fun while Mom is taking one last trip down South before Christmas. Here's to having REAL fun when Mom is away. |
