"I Go Pee Pee like Jack-en!"
We had a very exciting night!!!! When we were about to put the boys in the shower, Colby went to the toilet & said, "I go pee like Jack-en!" I was all excited, since I have been dreading potty training & haven't mentioned it to him at all...So we put him up there & he went!!!! We all made a huge deal about it & he was SOOO excited!! He jumped up & down and kept shouting, "I gooo in the Toy-yet!!" (I had to crop this picture to be more blog-appropriate, but it is SO cute with his whole backside!!)
He called Nana & Poppy to give them the good news about the "toy-yet"!!!!

We had a popcorn party to celebrate! Here Jack is saying "Yeah Colby!!"

Christmas Morning
Christmas morning was so fun! We love watching the boys open their presents & get excited. Colby opened each one & wanted to play with it right away! This was the first year that Jack didn't do that; he tore through them all & was having a blast! We definitley had a blessed Christmas!

The boys waiting in Jack's room, ready to go open up their presents & see what Santa brought!

Jack got me the Jon & Kate Plus 8 book...we watch the show together each week :) I already read it--what a great book! It is a great testimony of faith & how God works in your life, when you least expect it! I recommend this book to all moms!

Their GeoTrax set! They had about 3 more sets that they added to it later in the day! GeoTrax has taken over our play room :)

Christmas Eve & Time with Family
On the 23rd, Charley & Karen, my Dad, and Aunt Marty all came into town! Charley & I picked up Aunt Marty at LAX, while Kaleb & my Dad did some work, and Karen watched the boys. We had a great dinner that night & exchanged presents. Everyone but Aunt Marty went home on the 24th...It was really a blessing to all be together! Thank you all for traveling to us :) Here are some pictures from Christmas Eve & the 23rd...

Aunt Marty & the boys ready for church on Christmas Eve!

After church, we headed to Candy Cane Lane to check out the lights!

Jackson checking out the lights!!
The boys got cookies ready for Santa & carrots for the reindeer...Colby stuffed a bunch of each in his mouth too :)

Grandpa came down on the 23rd and then came back on the 25th!
Charley & Karen came down on the 23rd & stayed the night...We had a great time together as a family :) We played a great game of Clue too :)

We ended up getting each other Monopoly games!
On the 24th, we all went out to lunch at BJs and then Charley & Karen headed home...

Christmas Train

Last Sunday we got to go to the Christmas Train at Irvine Park with the Hertica family. It was a really great night & a good time was had by all!!!

Our family with Santa....

Jack has always loved Santa...he told him he wanted Geo Trax & "Rhino Rompus"...

Colby would not sit on Santa's lap again this year...He did tell him he wanted a "choo choo" from him though :)

Then he wanted to wave goodbye & yell "BYE SANTA!!"
Here is a view of the train while we are on it....

A cool shot of the lights in the tunnel on the train ride..

Big Boy Beds
It was time to move Colby out of his toddler bed, as he is just getting so tall! So we shopped around last weekend & decided on bunk beds for Jack's room. Jack is so excited! He wants to have a "sleep over" with Kaleb tonight :)
The boys so excited on the top bunk!

Colby got Jackson's bed...he was so excited! He liked his new bedding & was calling it his "choo choo bed!"

Here is where we found Colby when we went to bed!! Guess he didn't like his big boy bed :) I like how he made himself a little tent!

Daddy moved him to his bed :)

Jack started out on the top bunk, but must have moved to the bottom :) Here he is fast asleep!

Cookie Decorating Party
The boys & I hosted our 2nd annual Cookie Decorating Party on Friday afternoon. We had a great time! John & Madisyn weren't in this picture, but were happily decorating cookies with us! Thanks to my great friends for a great afternoon :)
