Christmas Fun

There have been so many fun Christmas things to do with the boys!  They are at such fun ages for all of the magic of Christmas.  But most importantly, I love hearing them retell the Christmas story and playing with the nativity scene.  Graham told me my tummy looks like Mary's!  I'm just thankful I don't have to travel on a donkey at 9 months pregnant!

Seeing the trains at church!





Our fifth annual Christmas dinner with friends!  We started with just 3 kids, and now we have 9 with 2 more on the way!  Here are the big kids eating their dinner!

Group picture!

Love these sweet friends!

We had a little Christmas party at Stephanie's one afternoon!  We exchanged presents, played, ordered pizza, and decorated cookies!





Bennett loved the icing, can you tell?!

Baby #3 is growing away!  31 weeks

Decorating gingerbread houses at home one afternoon.  This kept them busy for an hour!

Our little engineer...everything was so detailed and he put so much thought into it!

Bennett was just concerned with how many M&M's and how much icing he could eat!


Graham's school Christmas sing along!  He's in the middle, second row, red shirt.

He is such a performer and sang every song very enthusiastically!

And what keep this one happy and still?!  3 cookies to eat!


Bennett's new obsession - hot chocolate from Starbucks!  We started a bad habit!

Making Christmas cookies with Daddy!

My sweet boys!







Donuts and juice keep a boy happy while getting the oil changed in my car!

A successful Santa visit at the Galleria!

32 weeks with #3!


We went to the Christmas show at church on Sunday afternoon!

The boys were mesmerized!

It was amazing!



My sweet boys all dressed up for church!

Merry Christmas from our family to yours!

G and I had a big boy date on Monday morning!  We saw the movie Trolls, which was so cute!  And then we went to lunch and to HEB.  A sweet morning with just Graham!

We went to the trampoline place on Tuesday morning to jump our sillies out!







We've watched Polar Express a few times - a favorite of all of ours!

Lots of arts and crafts!  I'm pretty sure Bennett used a whole bottle of glue on this one paper...

Making Christmas trees!


Yesterday was a gorgeous day, and we played at one of our favorite parks with some of our favorite friends!





Lots of fun with my boys, and I can't believe it's almost Christmas!
