Holiday Gatherings!

Well, I had to start with the random pictures because this picture because is just so adorable. This is Maddox getting all ready for holiday shopping at Target. I was putting on my make-up and I hear from our bedroom, "Mommy, I just like you". I had to get a picture.
Here's some pictures of Maddox & Phebe having a bedtime snack when Phebe spent the evening at our house to play while Grandpa Chuck & Grandma Jane went out for Chuck's birthday.

Merry Christmas!
Snack Time!
Here's Christmas on my mom's side of the family. Rose, my cousin, passed down some great beanie babies to the boys and Maddox is loving them, especially the monkey.
Rowan got quite the stash from Rose too. Thank you Rosie!!!

The boys also opened a present that was brought for them by Santa Claus himself.
Maddox was all over his and the boys sat down to watch Thomas and the Magic Railroad.
Good morning? Well, the boys look a little tired here, but don't be fooled, they were bouncing off the ceilings waiting to open presents.
This one's a little better, right?It's FINALLY present time!
It was more enjoyable to do presents this year because they actually wanted to open more after they received their first one. Last year it was hard to get them to move on and keep opening.
Maddox's Tool Box/Workbench
This is the best toy EVER! Maddox has been obsessed with it since he opened it. I think it's all the pounding with the hammer.
Maddox also got some great construction vehicles and he has all the names and their noises down.
Here's Maddox and Grandpa Rob fixing a broken part to his crane. Nothing a little Elmer's glue can't fix.

We spent the whole weekend before Christmas at my parent's house, so on Saturday we made dozens of cookies (well, Grandma Michelle made them and the boys decorated). You can see Maddox concentrating hard. It's so cute because as he does it he says, "Tap, tap, tap" as he taps the little shaker of sprinkles. You'll also notice that when he has to concentrate on something he sticks his tongue out. So cute!
Stay tuned for more Christmas pictures from Christmas Eve & Day...time for bed.
