Trying to jam every last bit of fun into the month of December, we booked a trip aboard the Polar Express...
Not the real Polar Express mind you. Eli kept asking when we would reach the North Pole. He's seen the movie and read the book so many times, he's got it memorized.
The kids wore the jammies just like in the book. The adults did not. I have a thing about wearing my PJ's in public. It's not proper. It's not done. The end.
The babies actually wore 2 sets of jammies (a thin one and a thicker, fleece one). We tried to get their sneakers on over the double sets of footies. It DID NOT work. Good thing we had their Crocs all purchased for this coming summer. Hysterical!!!

We jammed ourselves on the train and listened to (Liam Niesen???) the story read aloud over the speaker system. All the while, we looked at Christmas lights around the park. So much fun! Just when we thought it was over, we sang Christmas caroles and the "Big Guy" came around and gave each kid a bell.

Once we disembarked, we got hot chocolate and cookies. Eli was really looking forward to the candies with the nougat as white as snow (or whatever). Oops! None of that, but we did have Fried Dough (which in my mind, trumps any silly nougat candy).

Ho! Ho! Ho!

Happy New Year!!!

Since I got my new camera, I had forgotten to dump all the pictures from my old camera. These are the shots from the boys' 15th mirthday. As you can see, it's getting increasingly difficult to get them to stay seated long enough to get a picture. I think the highchair shots are what is going to work for the next few months (or YEARS!!!)

Recent Weight Check
Benji 21 lbs 8 oz
Natey 20 lbs 4 oz
Sammy 22 lbs 3oz
So excited that Natey's finally 20lbs!!!

AND...they're back in weight order from birth!!!

Christmas Morning

After a rough night with Benji, everybody slept in until 7 am. It was a Christmas Miracle!!!

Comin' down the stairs. We let Eli go first to get a good view of

everything before the babies were let loose on the pile.

Eli's checking out the pile of goodies.

Eli wrapped this gift for me

(it's a candle).

Nate came down first.

He took a crack at his stocking.

Then Sammy came down.

He dug into his stocking.

Benji was last (but not least).

He had fun with his stocking.

3 times the mayhem...

It's getting messy in here!!!

Christmas Eve

Phew!!! We survived a wild Christmas weekend. It actually wasn't all that wild, but it was super busy!!! We started off with Christmas Eve at our house. It's my brother's birthday so we do a little cake (this year tiramisu) for him and then switch it over to Christmas-nuttiness.

Sammy contemplates a bucket and a sleigh.

Ben rips into some gifts.
