Twenty Dollars

Reese is quickly growing out of his afternoon naps. This afternoon, on my fourth trip into his room, I was pleading with him to go to sleep. "Reese, you really need to close your eyes and go to sleep.". He looked up at me, cocked his head and said, "What if I give you twenty dollars? Then can I get up?".

Who is bribing my children? Because I know it's not me ;)

Santa Claus

Santa's Secret Shop

Before Christmas break, the boys got to buy presents at school at "Santa's Secret Shop".  This year, they bought gifts for us, each other, and their teachers.  We couldn't believe it (and neither could they) when Reese and Cole opened their gifts from each other ... they each bought this dog for the other one!  It was so cute to see the shock on their faces!

Gingerbread House

The boys had so much fun decorating this Gingerbread House!

Santa and His Elf

Reese and Cole are so excited about Christmas!  They ask if they can open their presents EVERYDAY.  We can't wait for Christmas morning ...

Christmas Card Pictures

This year, as always, Ann Beck Photography captured some great pictures of our family.  Here are some of my favorites ... 

New Year's Resolution

So I'm starting a little early this year, but my resolution is to keep up with a blog about the boys.  I hope to update it at least once a week with picutres and fun stories.  Stay tuned!
