Santa

Rocking Ryan

Watch out Channing Tatum- our little man showed potential while waiting to see Santa:  Rocking Ryan

Murmel

 Our Elf came back!  Murmel keeps an eye on us during the day, then flies to the North Pole at night to report to Santa.  Ryan doesn't know that it's a big deal yet... 

But I have a special bond with Murmel.

 My favorite thing about having Murmel back in the house is waking up in the mornings to find what mischief he got into overnight!

December

It's tricky getting into the holiday spirit when it's 80 degrees every day.  We're working on the Christmas program for church and baking treats for our teachers, so we've been too busy to take many pictures lately.  Here are some favorites from Mom's phone.

 

We love chocolate!

 Little Man loves his hoodie and gets mad if we take it off.

Sweet Moxie wants to be cuddled next to Mom every minute of every day.

 Hide and Seek!

Good Night Socks

Ryan loves his bedtime books.  He refuses to sit in Mom's lap anymore, demanding his own big boy spot next to her on the rocking chair where he can hold his water while they read.

He likes Goodnight Moon, especially when it says "Three little bears sitting on chairs".  He points to the bears and yells at them to "SHET!". He is also obsessed with socks, so he points out "NIGHT NIGHT SOCKS!" every time they show up in the pictures. 

Ryan goes to bed earlier than me, so I get an hour with Mom and Dad all to myself.

We do very important things like watching Christmas movies, working on homework, and practicing reading my early reader books.
