Christmas morning!

We had a great morning opening gifts and celebrating together.  We spent 2 hours opening gifts as the boys wanted to play with each gift before opening the next...and Bryce wanted to read every book he opened before opening another gift! We love our boys :)

Ready to open their gifts

Both boys were very excited to open their Christmas gifts this year.

Christmas Eve surprise boxes!

After the Christmas Eve service we gave the boys their Christmas Eve surprise boxes.  We enjoyed a movie night together with their new movies, pj's, pillowcases, and snacks.

Christmas Eve

We celebrated Christmas Eve at our church this year.  Bryce really enjoyed singing the Christmas songs during the service.

Dinner with the Incredibles...

Brayden loves to watch the incredibles and really wanted to have dinner with the incredibles tonight.  I told him he could watch the movie if he ate his dinner so he ran and got his rhino. He then began to pretend to have the rhino eat his dinner and then looked at me to see if that would count for eating his dinner. 

Painting

Bryce and I worked on some Christmas crafts last week.  He was working on pom-pom painting this day and enjoyed it alot.

Christmas at Papa and Gigi's!

The boys had fun celebrating Christmas at Papa and Gigi's house last weekend. 

Fun in the snow

We got a few inches of snow yesterday...Bryce and I were hoping for a snow day but no such luck.  We did enjoy the snow after school though with a few hours of sledding and making snow angels. 

Bryce's 6th birthday!

We celebrated Bryce's 6th birthday at the inflatable park.  Bryce said he had a blast and Bray loved it too.  Bryce's favorite ride was the giant slide and Bray loved the ball pit.

Cars

Brayden loves anything transportation related.  He especially loves his matchbox cars.  I usually find him asleep with a matchbox car in his hand in the morning.

Dinner time

Brayden doesn't like to sit by himself at dinner.  Tonight Bryce wanted Bray to sit with him.  Bray kept signing "eat" but never ate anything which made Bryce giggle.  These two sure do love each other :)

Brayden and the cookies

Brayden wanted the Christmas cookies Bryce was making before they were baked...he kept pointing to them the entire time Bryce was working asking "please" over and over.

Making Christmas cookies

Bryce made some gingerbread cutout cookies this week.  He is counting down the days until Christmas and is very excited.

Mario buddies :)

Bryce and Josiah had so much fun playing Mario galaxy together. 

Fall placemats

Bryce and Josiah made some fall placemats together.  They started out coloring and putting stickers on...then the leaves started flying and they were really having fun.  Their creations turned out beautifully!

Make your own pizzas!

The three boys got to make their own pizzas for dinner this night.  Josiah, Bryce, and Brayden were not shy and made some tasty pizzas.

The boys with baby Emma

The boys love when baby Emma comes to visit.  When Bray sees her he will do the sign for "baby" and smile.  He was helping to gently rock Emma in her rocker.

Bryce's cake

Bryce baked this chocolate cake by himself...mom just gave him the right measuring tools.  He loves to bake and thought it was too funny when the flour, according to Bryce,  "poofed all over his head".  When he tasted a piece he thought it was just delicious and said "it has the perfect amount of sweetness and the texture is just right"...he is our little food critic :)

Fall!

 brayden had fun playing in the pile of leaves last weekend!

Relaxing in my cozy coupe...

Bray really loves his cozy coupe...today he is enjoying a smoothie in his cozy coupe.

Silly six pins bowling!!!

Bray does alot of bowling in PT and loves it.  We decided to get him this silly bowling set with some birthday money he had.  He played for hours bowling away and laughing.

Cars!

 Bray loves matchbox cars and trains.  Bryce and I were playing a board game one night...Bray didn't want to play but did want to drive his cars and trains over the game board like a race track. 

Presents

After dinner and cake we went into the family room to open Bray's presents.  He wasn't very interested in opening the presents but was interested in climbing on and over the presents :)

Birthday fun!

The boys enjoyed celebrating Brayden's birthday this week.  We took them to an inflatable park and they had lots of fun.  Brayden's favorite part was throwing the balls off the giant trampoline.  Bryce's favorite part was the giant obstacle course.

Cozy Coupe

Brayden picked out this cozy coupe with some of his birthday money this week. At the store I showed him the box and asked if he wanted this car...and he signed "yes" very enthusiastically.  He loves driving all over the house in his new car.  In this picture Bryce is pushing Bray around while he enjoys some raisins.  After getting this car, Bray has wanted to do everything in his cozy coupe including eating lunch/dinner, reading, and playing the ipad :)

Playdoh fun

Brayden got some of his favorite play doh toys for his birthday this week.  Bryce and Bray enjoy building animals, cooking on the grill, and using the bandsaw together!

Brayden's 3rd Birthday!

Brayden celebrated his birthday this week and turned 3!!!  He enjoyed celebrating at home with his Johnny Tractor decorations and a reeses cake.  He carefully pulled the cake towards him and got some reeses pieces off the top.  He dug right into his cake and enjoyed every bite :)

Picking apples

Bryce and Bray helped us pick apples this weekend and had lots of fun!

Apple picking

We went apple picking after Bryce's fun run at school last Saturday.  Bray enjoyed riding in the wagon and Bryce loved seeing all the colored fall leaves.
