parties, presents, and pajamas

Dearest Boys,

You make this season come alive!  Every holiday activity we do together makes y'all giddy and your excitement is contagious as I watch you try to take it all in.

Our week started when all of Ms. Steph's families got together at her house to give her our present and it was precious to have all her "babies" together - even your 3 buddies who are now at preschool. 


A fourth friend is going off to preschool next month so you're now her oldest kiddo.  It won't be long before it's your turn and that is unbelievable!

We went to Daddy's work party where you boys made laps through every hallway, cubicle, and copy room in the building.  I worked up a sweat keeping up with you two so the camera barely caught any of the fun - but there was food, games, and a movie on the big screen!

One of the games was "Sackers"

And then you finally took a rest at Daddy's conference table!


We also made sure to find time for our 2nd (annual?) carriage ride




And, in what I hope becomes a forever tradition, we got into our pajamas and drove through the local neighborhoods admiring their decorations.  Jax, you were on the hunt for "Santa balloons" and could spot them from a mile away.  Colt, you babbled nonstop so I think you were a fan of it all.  We didn't drive far but these were our favorites of the ones we saw -




But then we noticed that the Santa spotting came to a halt.  Because someone...


Colt, you could've kept going long into the night though!
