Christmas Eve

Christmas Eve, everyone was awaiting the arrival of the big man. Santa brought us all wonderful presents. The boys have had blast!!!

Preparing Christmas Goodies!!!

We made cookies and a Gingerbread house!!! Benjamin loved making the house, Will loved the candy!!!

Santa...maybe next year...

We saw Santa this year at the Dayton Mall. We went the Saturday night before Christmas, yeah maybe not the best time to go. After waiting in line, luckily only about 20 minutes, we got to see Santa. Will was SO excited to see Santa and was going to tell him he wanted presents right up until we were 2 feet from Santa. Panic ensued and Will, in his notorious high pitched scream, cried his heart out. The screaming always makes Benjamin a little uneasy hence he was not smiling either, but did tell Santa Merry Christmas and gave him a hug. Zach slept thru it all. Mommy got to see Santa as well in order for Will to make an appearance. Multiple attempts were made to get Daddy in the picture which he refused. Why would we want the whole family in a picture?? Maybe when Zach is 5 Bryan will be willing to attempt a family picture again. These memories are priceless and slipping oh so quickly thru our fingers.

The 3 boys

Taking a picture of 3 boys may sound easier than it is...we are not a very photo friendly family. But the stars lined up pretty good and we got a decent shot of everyone!!! Zach was just shy of 3 weeks old in these pictures 18 days to be exact! We have had weights done on all 3 boys in the past week Benjamin is 47 pounds, Will weighed in this morning at 31.4 pounds and Zach was 8 pounds 9.9 ounces at 3 weeks old!!

Video clip of Zach's first bath

Success!! I was finally able to upload the little video of Zach's first bath!!!
Enjoy

Zach's first bath

We gave Zach his first bath after everything had healed and his umbilical cord fell off. He had a blast no tears and no crying.

Here comes Christmas

We started preparing our house for Christmas!!! Will loves everything about Christmas. Daddy told him weeks ago we were going to go see reindeer with Rylee and he has not let a day pass without asking when he would see reindeer. We went to the festival of lights at the zoo and he got to see reindeer. He now says he wants to go see Santa but we will see if he is as excited to see santa when we try to take him!!!

The Thanksgiving Crew Again!

The Thanksgiving Crew

We enjoyed Thanksgiving Day with a houseful of family. Will loved playing with Rylee and Uncle John (except when Uncle John sounded like an elephant!!!) No, No John!

Thanksgiving Day at Bouce U

On Thanksgiving day Bryan and I took the boys to Bounce U to let them bounce a little energy off. We all had fun, the big boys loved spending time with daddy!!!

Thanksgiving Preparations

We enjoyed the Thanksgiving holiday this year with much to be thankful for!!! We enjoyed the week with Grandma and Grandpa Collins. Both Benjamin and Will enjoyed all the cooking this year and wanted to help as much as possible. I was in charge of baby Zachary and tried to help out some!!!
