Christmas




A fun family morning! Christmas breakfast, stockings and gifts and a little basketball! After naps we enjoyed a delicious dinner at the Bards' house, our good Charlotte friends.

More Boys


What a week! Can't beat 75 degrees in December! The boys have been outside everyday and Tait even wore some shorts one day. They had a fun playdate with Bryce and Dylan!

Five Boys


The boys had a slumber party on the night of the Hayden Harper Christmas party. It was an entertaining morning with five boys five and under. We got a little taste of what some parents experience daily.

The Allen Post Office






The boys celebrated their 4th and 2nd birthdays with a mail birthday brunch. They invited all boys to be mail"MEN" (with the exception of a few baby sisters or helping older sisters). The letter hunt with mail bags and the mail truck pinata with candy were the big hit! Tait chose a letter cake and Grayson had a mailbox cake. Happy Birthday!


Thanksgiving in the Mountains





We enjoyed a fun week in the NC mountains for Thanksgiving. Lots of hiking, eating, laughing, playing games, eating, chatting and eating (did i mention eating). Some hikes (or hikers!) were a little crazier than others. The boys had a blast with all the family that traveled to join us!

TACO TIME




Uncle Matt (or Uncle Matty Boy as he's often referred to) is an amazing uncle. Tait and Grayson adore him! He always has fun games involving chasing, tickling, wrestling, etc. "Taco time" has become one of the boys' favorites!


Fall Fun


The boys had fun raking leaves with Daddy. I'm not sure exactly how helpful they were:)! And Mommy had some fall fun with getting a shorter do. Still can't quite compete with the crazy mullet hair-do!

Big Boy Bed



Since Grayson has been able to crawl out of his crib for the last 6 months+, we finally took the time to move him to his new bed, the toddler bed. He loves it! No major transition...probably due to the fact that he would regularly climb out of his crib and come out the door. I did decide to put a safety lock on his doorknob. We'll see how long it takes him to figure it out!

Grayson on the scooter

Grayson does his best to keep up with his big brother. He finally figured out how to ride the scooter this past month. Here are a few clips of scooter boy!

Dressing Up Fun




Tait enjoyed his last soccer practice on Halloween Eve--a costume practice. He wore Daddy's army gear (Chris wore when he was little). Tait loved playing "Pirates" where you dribble around, knocking down cones, looking for the hidden treasure (a candy bar).


On Halloween, Tait went to Gopher Buddies (his Awana program at the big, pink church) like usual, but he went as the soldier King David (only costumes from the Bible of course:). Our little Brewer, Grayson, had fun handing out candy--and eating his fair share--at our friends' house (the Bards) where we enjoyed a great dinner!


And Chris was able to get out his favorite hair-do! For some reason I see that thing more often than I'd like!
