Santa Pics

Christmas meets Halloween

The Santa picture story:

T had asked to go see Santa one day while we were

at the mall. I replied with "not today bubba, I am 

going to dress you and your brother up and come 

back so we can get your picture with Santa."

So, a week goes by and the day arrives to go see the

big man. I had laid out the boys their skinny jeans,

cute little Gap sweaters and their converse. I started

to dress the boys and T says, "MOM!"  you told me we 

were going to get dressed up to go see Santa?" I said "we

are baby, that's what were doing." He replies with "I was

going to dress up in  my  spiderman costume." 

I mean, what are you supposed to say to that. He 

totally thought when I said dress up I meant dress 

them up in a costume. I tried a little coaxing to get 

him to wear the sweater and skinnys but he really had

his heart set on wearing spiderman so I went with it.

I put Cruz in Trev's baby Jack Jack costume he wore for 

his first Halloween, T put his spiderman costume on

and we headed to the mall. Needless to say we were the

only people dressed for Halloween in line to go see Santa 

but man, we will look back in a few years and laugh so

hard at this picture. What a great memory!!!! 

I love my sweet funny little babies!!!!

Some Christmas pics

and many more to come......

I'm learning how to edit photos and am having a BLAST!!

Pictures are a passion of mine so why not put that to good

use. I'll post some unedited pics of the boys in their adorable

Christmas jammies too. They are too cute!!!

Here comes Santa Claus

HO HO HO!!!!!

Merry CHRISTmas!!!!

Friday night Santa Claus arrived at the NWA mall.

What better way to kick off the holiday season by 

watching Santa arrive in his sleigh? 

We had some good friends of ours, Rowan and Grayre

come over to hang out friday night so we loaded all

the boys up and headed to the mall. 

Before Santa arrived we were entertained 

by a Dance company. They preformed the nutcracker

along with several other performances. The boys

were entertained initially but soon started asking

"where is Santa Claus"? They came for one reason

and one reason only, to see the big man for themselves!

Here is little Grayre bear watching the 

dancers. He had so much fun and was

such a good boy.  

 

     Trev was so excited to hang out with his

friends. He had a great time but was very

anxious to see Santa. While the dancers were

preforming he yells "where is Santa Claus,

when is he coming"? After a nice little chat

about being respectful while someone is

preforming, he seemed to settle down a bit.

He really is such a funny boy!!

 I told the boys to scoot together so I could

snap a pic. Rowan leaned in on Trev and knocked

him over so T was saying "ouch" in this pic. I think

its funny!!! I love how Grayre is looking at them 

like ????

 After the performances, a man read us

Twas the night before Christmas

 The kids loved this part. They were so still

during the story!!! First time for everything.

lol

 Even baby Cruz enjoyed it.....

 but it made him very sleepy!!!!

 The boys kept watching for Santa on the roof

of the mall. It was adorable!!! 

 Trev was pretty sure he spotted him.

"Look, look guys. There he is"! he kept

saying!!

 And here is Mr. Claus himself. All the boys

were so excited. Trev kept screaming in 

typical Trevor fashion and Grayre kept saying

"there is Santa" and Rowan just stood in amazement.

 As Santa came by the boys on his sleigh,

he waved to them all. Of course the were

all waving right back!!! They've gotta make

sure to get on that nice list.

That was definitely their favorite part. Seeing

how excited they were to get a wave from

Santa was precious. It totally made my night!!!

 We then came back to the house to play.

 The super hero squad!!!

 Trev was giving Grayre a little hug.

 Rowan and Trevor.

Rowan is so awesome!! He would

do the best poses for his pictures.

I turned on some super hero music

and he can play an air guitar like no body's

business. He was so fun!!!!

 Baby Cruz had fun trying to keep up with the

big boys. He ran around behind them trying to

do everything they were doing. He crashed hard

that night.

 One of Rowans infamous poses.

We had such a good time with the Graham boys

over. They all played very well together and had

a blast. Can't wait to have them over again.

Our week

On Sunday after church, Trev and I baked

 

cookies

 together!!

 

 My post got all messed up somehow so hang

in there with me!! Saturday we went to a friend

of ours little boys first birthday party. Cruz got his

first pinata experience and loved it. He just laughed

every time he swung the bat. They were all so cute!

Trev busted the pinata so he got to take the bat he 

 busted the pinata with home. Very Cool!!

 Saturday we had friends over to watch the HOGS

play!! The boys played and had a great time as 

you can see in the pic. lol

 They really were having a good time in 

this picture!!! They are so cute!!!!

 Cruz is Mr. Independent!! He has to feed 

himself or he won't eat!! He is a little stinker.

Here he had his macaroni EVERYWHERE!!!

But he's still adorable as a macaroni monster!!!

 Cruz also learned to brush his teeth this week.

Mommy does a quick brush first, then puts more 

toothpaste on the brush and lets him brush away!

He really did a great job and was so proud of 

himself!!  I can't believe how big he is getting!! It's 

happening so fast.

 Good job baby!!!!

 Sweet baby boy

 Trevor fixed his hair all by himself this week

too. I was leaving to go to mimi's and started

looking for Trev. He said "I'm in here mommy

fixing my hair". I thought oh lord,what has he 

done? When I got to the bathroom he had daddy's

paste out with a lot in his hair, on his forehead and

all over his hands just smiling so big!! He was proud

of himself for being such a big boy and fixing it all

by himself. It was a really cute moment for me!!!

 This is how we went to mimi's that day. 

Great job dude!!

 This was earlier that morning. He pretty

much fixed his own sandwich that day!!

He only had minor help from mom!!! He

has really enjoyed doing things on his own

lately. He normally just likes for mommy to

do most things for him so it's something we've

been working on and he his doing a great job!!

 My sweet busy Cruz!!! He just goes and goes

and then crashes!!! I was finishing up my hair

one morning and stuck him in the exersaucer to

prevent another morning Cruz disaster. I looked 

back to check on him and he was passed out!!!

The boy's gotta crash sometime!!

 These pics should be at the top but....

there from Sunday cookies. Trev thought

they were good!!

 REAL GOOD!!  He kept sneaking cookies when

I wasn't looking. Silly boy, he is such a sugar

fanatic!!!

There's nothing like a Sunday afternoon nap.

 This is the birthday boy Karter, and the

rest of the birthday pics!!!
