Trimming the Christmas Tree

The boys had a great time trimming the tree. After they had covered the bottom 1/2 of the tree they decided to hang some ornaments UNDER the tree! I had to move lots of ornaments up after the boys went to bed, just to balance everything out.

Thanksgiving 2010

The boys made turkey shirts to wear on Thanksgiving day. Thomas was proud to show his off.
And Will? As you can see he wasn't in the mood to have his picture taken. Too bad ~ I did it anyway!
In the car on the way to lunch at HPU ~ Thomas was still all smiles.

I was actually able to get a goofy grin out of Will, too!

Thomas and Will's favorite part of lunch was entertaining Gus. They were pulling out all the stops of silliness to make him laugh!

Gus with Uncle Sam ~ he has totally mastered the skill of clapping!
Will giving Geyer some advice ~ kind of a scary thought!
Josh and Do Do enjoyed their lunch, even though they were being crowded by a little turkey.
Amy, Gus, Paw Paw, and Kirklyn kept a close eye on everything.
Big smiles from all 4 big boys ~ Thomas, Gray, Will and Luke
They were all happy to give me their best silly faces, too!
Up the stairs with Thomas leading the way.
Once again, the posed picture ~
And the silly picture!
Amy and Kirklyn had fun watching the boys being silly.


Here three of MANY pictures I took of the 7 cousins. Maybe next year will be better........
My 2 favorite turkeys in the whole world!

A Trip on the Polar Express

We took a trip on the Polar Express and everyone had a great time!Before boarding the train ~ the boys were excited, as you can see!
Thomas didn't want to look at the camera ~ he wanted to look at the train!Daddy and Will ~ about to board the train.Thomas helping Grandmother and Granddaddy.

Ok ~ time to get on board!

A shot of the three boys. Will was trying REALLY hard to smile ~ maybe too hard.
Thomas made himself at home in Grandmother and Granddaddy's seat.
All of the passengers ready to roll!
Will was proud to show off his ticket.
Now that's one happy kid! He loves tickets!
Looking out the window for a peek at Santa and his reindeer.
Will needs to work on the "better not pout" part of Christmas!
Look! Here comes Santa and the elves!
Santa Clause
The elves handed the children jingle bells, just like the one in the story The Polar Express.Will waited patiently for his jingle bell.

And of course they had to ring and ring and ring those bells!

My Favorite Bedbugs

If the boys get a bath and ready for bed early enough they can watch one cartoon before going to bed. They looked so cute all snuggled in for an episode of Dinosaur Train!
