The Littlest Engineer

This picture was taken on a very rare occasion when B was napping and S was not. The two of us had a great time playing trains together. I think S likes the trains as much as B, but gets tired of his big brother telling him when and where he can drive his trains. I love that happy smile! He's such a darling little boy. (Lately he's taken to saying "No monsieur!" whenever he doesn't want to do something. It's so stinking cute!)

Ginger Bread House

We have some kind friends who felt bad for our boys being stuck in the house most of the time, so they came over and made a ginger bread house and gingerbread cookies with the boys. They sure loved it!

Decorating the Tree

And here we are decorating the tree for Family Home Evening. It was really fun and I was quite excited because setting up the tree and listening to Christmas music was N's idea this year! It's usually mine. =)

Shoveling the Driveway

N and B went outside to shovel the driveway. When I peeked outside, I didn't see any shoveling but I saw a snowman being built! I love that N will make time to play with his kids! (And yes, they shoveled the driveway as well.) These are just the shots I was able to get through the window.

Making Cookies

We had so much fun making sugar cookies. My friend, Sarah, and her son, Brandon came and joined us. The boys loved it, and amazingly we didn't have too big of a mess! S really got into it. He just kept scooping out spoonfuls of frosting and eating it! When the other two boys got bored and went to play, S stayed on his chair at the counter, cutting out cookies and eating frosting. It was a great activity!

Petit Papa Noel

I found a clip of this song "Petit Papa Noel" that N told me he always remembered his dad singing to him at Christmas time. It's a really pretty song, but this is a techno-version. Strange, but actually pretty cool. The boys loved it. They asked for it over and over and over again and they'd just dance! Of course they didn't dance as much when I got out the video camera, but I still thought it was totally cute.

So Sweet

B is a very cute little boy. Whenever he's cold he just gets himself a pair of socks and a hat. Pretty smart. Just knows what he needs to warm up. I came into his room to kiss him goodnight and found him fast asleep in his little hat. So sweet!
