December, finally


December was just last month, but already feels FOREVER ago! Here's some highlights from last month (except for Christmas and New Year's, which will get a post of its own).

Colin continued his Harry Potter passion. Good thing, since most of his Christmas presents were HP-themed. Here he is holding one of his MANY wands.

Spencer, eating his daily green apple and playing with an early Christmas present.

Jaden likes to look all around - especially above and behind him. Here he is tilting so far to look back that he's about to slide off Greg's lap.

This was a very roly-poly month for Jaden. He started rolling and scooting, and loved to hold his feet together (and even munch on his toes once in a while - sad I haven't managed to get a picture of that yet!).

Our December Cub Scout pack meeting was caroling at a nursing home. Here Spencer is with a lady that got the card he'd made - she was a sweetheart! She clapped every time we sang.

Colin receiving his Webelos award.

"Christmas doesn't come to a dirty house" is powerful incentive to get the room clean!

Jaden conked out on Greg

The boys took advantage of a warm and sunny day to do some of their reading outside.

Colin and Jaden with their respective books. Jaden LOVES books, possibly more than either of the other boys did at this age.

Fancy jumping Jaden.

Jaden is very, very grabby right now. Hair, noses, cheeks, glasses - anything he can get his hands on!

Happy baby!

Here's Jaden being entertained by Colin

More happy baby!

The boys on a walk somewhere on the Trinity Trails

Jaden enjoying our walk from the comfort of the jogging stroller

One of our annual holiday traditions is this house that broadcasts music that's synchronized with the lights. So fun!

One of my very FAVORITE things is a sunset behind bare trees in winter. Love it!

The boys at Sundance Square, where we went to see the lights

Greg reading to Jaden at the library - he was SO interested in the books!

Colin and Spencer on a "camel" at the Ft Worth Science Museum

Some of the kids at our church Christmas party acting out the nativity. Spencer was Joseph, and Colin was a wise guy. (;

We substituted Jaden for the baby doll afterward, and the boys were much more enthusiastic about offering gifts.

And now - on to a Christmas post! (:
