Christmas 2015

What a fun Christmas! Our normal Christopher returned and has been so much fun since Christmas Day. If his behavior was truly caused by Christmas excitement... he may not be participating next year. :)

All Christopher wanted for Christmas was Power Rangers Mega Blocks- they are these little figures that come in a bag that you put together like Legos. Win for Santa- they are like 2.99 a pack. "Santa" came and brought him a couple packs on Christmas Eve....



He also brought him an Optimus Prime. 

After Anthony came back in from changing... Christopher said "Uncle, was that you in that Santa costume?" He was kinda fixated on the fact that it was Anthony for quite a bit, but finally believed that it wasn't. I'm not too sure Anthony will be able to pull that one off another year.

Christopher slept in until 8 Christmas morning. Matt and I were up and waiting... and waiting... Caleb woke up so at least we had him to hang out with!

Photo bombed.



Christopher was so excited when he finally woke up. The first thing he did was come and hug Nana. He was so shy walking over to see what Santa brought... a couple packs of Power Rangers, a Lego set and superhero ornaments. WHOA (our elf) had brought him a Captain America ornament one day in December so Santa brought the rest of the gang! The best part may have been when he stopped and said "Baby Caleb- look! Santa brought you presents," and then he proceeded to pick up Caleb's toys and show each one to him. 


We got Christopher a bunch of games- Operation, Don't Break the Ice, Chutes and Ladders and Nana got him Candyland. We have had so much fun playing all of them.

After years of begging from me, Matt FINALLY agreed to getting a playset for the backyard. I kept telling him "Christopher and Austin would use it all the time..." and then when we found out about Caleb I added his name to the mix and now Austin is having a little brother and Matt couldn't say no anymore... and I would say Christopher was so surprised!! It's definitely not something he ever asked for, but something he would for sure love to have. Here's the video of him seeing it for the first time... WHOA!!!!!!!!

I have a feeling we will hear the best conversations watching these two play. 
Yesterday's conversation about Austin's baby brother went like this... 
Austin: Liam is coming now that Christmas is over. 
Christopher: I know how he is getting here. 
Austin: How? 
Christopher: He has to drive on the interstate. 

And now for the rest of the pictures that I have... not too many though!
Loving that thumb.

He loves his new Sophie from Aunt Sara and Uncle Anthony.

Brotherly love.

This was before he pooped everywhere. 

That's it... I think! We hope that everyone had a Merry Christmas!!! Happy New Year! 
Be kind.

No Joke.


This three year old thing is no joke. If you told me taking care of a  3 month old would be easier, I would have laughed in your face. Sometimes I even look at Matt with lots of jealousy at the end of the night- he is in charge of Caleb. Poor Christopher has even lost presents from under the Christmas tree. He probably just looks at the other 50 and thinks "oh well... there's plenty more." Thankfully he still has his sweet moments every now and then. :)


 
Thumb sucker.

Playtime with brother.

This is from when Christopher stayed with Uncle and Aunt Sara. They watched the Polar Express. 

I guess he gave Luke Dine.... that could have ended badly. Christopher got to sleep with 3 of the 4 dogs that night, plus Uncle Anthony. 

Helping me peel eggs for deviled eggs.

We really are late in posting... because I am going to take his 4 month shot next week!

He loves feeding Caleb and burping him after.

Nana took this great picture! I love it. 

Nana and Granddaddy took the boys to the mall to see Santa.


Christopher got a Christmas cookie from the neighbors!

He just wanted his picture taken.

 Merry Christmas!!
Be kind.
