One Horse Open Sleigh

 

For some reason Will recalls the line “one horse open sleigh” from the song Jingle Bells!  It’s really adorable, where do they get this stuff!  Our Christmas time was absolutely wonderful this year, but it sure does go by too fast.  To catch up on stats for the boys:

Will: 2 yrs, 3 feet tall, 27 pounds

Loves anything construction and anything train related.  He’s talking up a storm, and very well I might add too.  Gotta watch what you say nowadays!  He climbs everything and is always testing the limits, like any 2 year old, throwing a tantrum in there every once in a while.  He’s crazy about Christmas, loves the lights and trees and just figuring out Santa. We started the Elf on the Shelf this year, and each morning he has a blast trying to find him, he’s always conveniently “up high”!

Max: 10 months, 30 inches tall, 24.5 pounds

That’s right, only 2.5 pounds lighter than Will.  Max is our little sweet pea!  He’s such a laid back kiddo.  Just goes with the flow, which works well since Will runs the show most of the time.  Max is crawling everywhere, just started out of nowhere really.  He’s pulling up to his knees, but we suspect it won’t be long till he’s trailing the furniture.  He loves any attention you give him, and such a smiley boy!  He’s going everywhere in his walker.  He’s finally sleeping through then night all the time now.  He’s just now starting to babble and say “mama” and “dada”, and he’s quite the little Daddy’s boy, which makes Dada beam with joy!

  

We journeyed to the Missouri Botanical Gardens for they’re annual Christmas Train exhibit.  Will loved it and it was beautiful as always!

Santa brought a train table this year and both boys LOVE it!  Will is usually on top of it pulling all the trains around.  Max loves to steal Will trains…little brothers!

We had a wonderful Christmas.  We really enjoyed being home on Christmas morning.  The boys played and played, both took morning naps and still had more to open after that!  Mama’s family was there to celebrate too.  We loved having a house full.  Dada was off the entire week between the holidays.  We went to the zoo, had friends come to town, went shopping, had lunch, and played A LOT!  Countdown is on to next Christmas!
