Update

Here's what we've been up to this busy December month...

We finally got our Christmas decorations up!  It was Josh's turn this year to put the star on...

Being the awesome mom that I am I let the twins stay up late on Sunday night to watch the Redskins/Cowboy game...Jack was one happy boy that night!!!

My sweet tooth decided that a MEGA stuff golden oreo wasn't enough...so he added some whoppers to it...

Cute Jackson and Brody...

 Last week I subbed in the library and my office window faced Josh who was in Guidance, it was so cute to just watch him...

Sweet thoughtful adorable Tyce was bored one day so he decided to write notes to every single kid in his class.  I could not believe how thoughtful each one was and his spelling was pretty good for a 6 year old completely on his own!  "The girls get hearts and the boys get Pokemon cards".   Here's a few of my fav...

One day after school Traci and the girls (and baby WILLIAM) came over and the kids played for hours while we chatted and I got to snuggle the baby.  The kids put on this super cute play for us... 

Since it's Christmas time we've been getting all sorts of boxes in the mail...Jackson claimed this one as his bed and has slept in it about four nights so far...

Josh and his buddy...

Every year Santa comes on a firetruck to visit every single street in Manassas Park, the boys look so forward to it.  That morning I was in the shower and Parker was out running errands and Tyce, on his own, got a chair to sit on, a bag for candy, and his helmet on (not sure why) and sat waiting for Santa...who was like two hours away.  When Parker pulled up this is what he saw...seriously...is there anything cuter?!

All the neighbor boys gave Tyce their candy which was super sweet...

I walked up the stairs the other day and just thought Brody looked SO cute like this...

Saturday was a BEAUTIFUL day here in  NOVA...

So we went on a family hike at Prince William Forest!  Of course we have to take a picture in front of the number 4 tree...

Josh's gun rock...

Jack chopping wood...

Tyce collected Y shape sticks to make a Y family...

So much fun on the bridge...they played here for hours...

They found a vine to swing from...

And today we decorated gingerbread houses!

Josh's house...his house is so indicative of his personality...he did it fast, little to no thought, messy, and over decorated...

Jackson's house was also so indicative of his personality...he took a long time planning, was very indecisive, and very organized once he was done...

And Tyce's house!  His personality is a middle ground between his brothers...

This week we are looking forward to my DAD coming for a short trip, Bull Run lights, caroling, and the last week of school before break!!!
