No Excuses...

I have been totally slacking AGAIN!! No excuses, Hubby had two whole weeks off and oh the fun we had and the time we spent just enjoying each other, honest, see!

First there was Interlochen and the Christmas light display...



Then on to Gingerbread house baking, assembly and decorating...

YUMMY!


MERRY CHRISTMAS!


Let's not forget Christmas Morning, we baked muffins and sang happy birthday to Baby Jesus and the boys both enjoyed their awesome gifts from Santa, -N-, so much so, that it was a battle getting him to open anything else! All while little -A- wore himself out jumping up and down!

Then we headed over to Grammy and Grandpa's for Christmas dinner and opening gifts with them, my little bro Uncle -J- and G. Gram, see the tree above?

One word SPOILED!

-A- is sporting his Christmas outfit from Nini and Papa and -N- is sporting his apron made by Mwaaa!

There is not one gift that these two little boys didn't love! -N- constantly wants to wear his "awesome camo jammies" his words not mine, he thinks his "bery own guitar" and "mote car" are great and loves playing all of the new games he received,
thus birthing family game night!

Last week's were Memory, Candy Land and putting together a puzzle.

He is overcoming his fear of the dark with the help of his new bed tent while snuggling his night light teddy bear. -A- LOVES stuffed animals and any toy that lights up or makes sound,
just when I thought we had it ALL, we got sooo much more!

From that point, I spent what seems like an eternity reorganizing and collecting items for donation.

Moving us quickly into a great start to the New Year, Happy New Year!!!

In the meantime, -A- learned a new game of his own,

PEEK-A-BOO!!

Before we knew it, it was all over and hubby was back at work and the 3 of us were returning to a "normal" schedule while Dad worked.

What more can I say, no excuses, just a whole lot of fun, I can't wait to do it all again!
