Christmas Eve

We spent Christmas Eve at my parent's house and had a wonderful time! We had a great ham dinner, opened presents and then went to a Christmas Eve Church Service where our family was asked to come up to the altar and light the Christ candle.

The boys enjoyed opening their stockings and presents.

This was Morgan's favorite gift of the evening....his Scooter!!

So....of course we had to take it outside to try it out!

Day Care Christmas Party!

The boys' Day Care had a Christmas party on Friday, December 23rd. Santa Claus made a visit and all the kids were so excited to see him.

He brought each kid a present and let them sit on his lap and visit for a while.

Wyatt was still very apprehensive of Santa Claus...so he just enjoyed the food instead!

Santa Visit

Morgan was very excited about Santa this year. He wanted to get his picture taken with him and couldn't wait to tell him that he wanted a Batman Mobile!
Wyatt on the other hand, did not want anything to do with Santa. When we were in the car I would ask him if he wanted to see Santa Claus and he would say "Yeah!"...and then when he took one look at him he started to scream his head off. So, no pictures of Wyatt with Santa this year....maybe we will have better luck next year.

Tree Decorating

This post is kinda of late, but at the beginning of December we decorated our Christmas Tree. Colby always gets a real tree every year and I love how it fills our house with the smell of fresh pine. Here are the boys before they started decorating.

And they're off.....!! After Colby and I put up the lights the boys got busy helping me put up the ornaments. We had Christmas music playing, hot chocolate, marshmallows and Morgan's Santa hat helped put us all in a Christmas mood!

Wyatt did a pretty good job of helping. But of course shortly after we would put something up...he was right there to take it back down! Eventually we did get all the ornaments on the tree.

And here are the boys after we were finished. The lights on the tree are on, but the flash from the camera drowns them out....but I would say they did a fabulous job.

The finishing touch to the tree was the big train the Colby sets up every year. It goes around the base of the tree and plays Christmas music. The boys like to help Colby set it up.

Then they turn it on and watch it go round and round!

Morgan turns 4 years old! Birthday Celebration #2

Today, November 13th was Morgan's 4th birthday, so we celebrated at Chuck E Cheese!

The real Chuck E Cheese came out to visit the birthday boy!

Group Hug!

Then there was a dance party before cake and ice cream!

Shake Your Groove Thing Morgan!!

Time for Cake!! Another Batman cake...Morgan's favorite!

The birthday boy gets to enter the Ticket Machine to try and catch as many tickets as possible! Here is Morgan getting ready to enter the machine. We told him to give us a "thumbs up" and this is what he did.....oh well, at least he knows who #1 is!

Trying to catch some tickets!

I think he's got one!

After meeting Chuck E Cheese, dancing and cake....it was time to go play the GAMES!!

We opened presents back at home, he got so many neat things! He was so excited and grateful for everything!

Morgan had a great 4th Birthday Party! Thanks to all!

Morgan turns 4 years old! Birthday Celebration #1

Morgan's Great Grandma (my grandma) turns 94 years old on November 16th, so since Morgan's birthday is November 13th we decided to have a birthday celebration for both of them on Saturday. Morgan had a Batman cake!

Blowing out the candles!

Opening all his fun gifts!

Trick or Treat 2011

This year Morgan went up to each door in the neighborhood by himself while Colby and I stood back and watched. He had so much fun. He did a very good job of saying "Trick or Treat" when they opened the door and he said "Thank you" when they gave him candy. Wyatt still wasn't too sure about going door to door this year so he hung back with us. I'll bet next year though he will be so excited to go up to the door with his brother.

Halloween weekend there is always something going on. On Saturday my parents and I took the boys to the Centerra Hullabaloo....it is a street fair where the kids dress up, get candy and get to participate in all sorts of activities...like a bouncy house!

The Loveland Fire Department was there and the kids got to sit in a real fire truck!

They got their picture taken with a spooky background! They are Batman and Robin if you couldn't tell. Wyatt wouldn't wear his mask, but he still looked pretty cute!

There was a petting zoo with cows, horses, ducks, goats and more!

Then, on Sunday we joined cousins at the outdoor mall for some Halloween fun and pictures.

Not sure what kind of Batman squat Morgan is trying to do here?

Cousin Devyn was Batgirl! Here are Batman and Batgirl flying through the sky!

Batgirl is helping Robin fly.
