Our December

We had to re-create this pic from Tripp 5 years ago :) Tripp on the left, Caff on the right.

Tripp had a reading goal for a month, if he achieved it, he got a skateboard! As you can see, SUCCESS!

Our toddler proof tree! 

Such good manners.... 

Dad and Tripp were making Gingerbread houses (graham cracker houses) and Caff swiped in and stole the good stuff. Dad was supposed to be watching.... haha.

We finally decided to give little man his first haircut!  It was getting a little out of control!

The end result! Still curly! Less crazy!

Brothers just chillin.

Caff likes to steal stuff off my desk..... this was one of the funnier thing he swiped.

I ruined his life by not letting him have my Starbucks!

Who needs sticky notes?

Seriously non stop mess this kid!

Tripp made an awesome block castle and insisted I take a picture, before Caffrey ruins it!

We think the colander shrunk!

Any time you want this kid to take a pic.. he has to flash the UTES sign! Dad trained him well!

The boys waiting for dad to land! Perfect spot to watch for helicopters!

Tripp wanted to sit with mom.... and Caff wanted to sit with Tripp... this is how that worked out :-)

Even with short hair.. it gets a little crazy!!!

Christmas with the Gibson's! 

Caff hanging out with Aunt Lea! 

Christmas Eve... New Jammies!

Christmas morning. Caffrey was obsessed with his Vacuum! It kinda stole the show!
Santa brought Caffrey a BIG pirate ship and pirate gear! He also got lots of cars, trucks, a bouncing toy, a little bike, sports stuff and books! 

Christmas morning for Tripp!
Santa brought Tripp a REAL basketball hoop and a spyglass!
Tripp also got laser tag guns, night vision goggles, walkie-talkies, binoculars, finger skateboards, and other fun toys! 

Caff enjoying a box...at the Child Family Christmas get together.

Caff's pirate ship! Which will be an outdoor toy once it warms up!

Tripp's first FORD! Unky J and Aunt Jo got him a remote control truck, just like J.D'S REAL truck! 

Mom's present! Who would have thought in a million years I would have wanted one of these???? :-)

After Christmas Caff came down with croup! What an awful virus! At first we thought it was just a regular virus since he was running a fever for a few days with no other symptoms, then he woke up one day and seemed to be struggling to breathe... so we took him in and sure enough.. croup! We have never seen him so mellow! We had 2 days of literally just snuggling... he wanted nothing to do with anything other than sleep and snuggles. :(

Pirate ships are also good for watching TV in :-)

Day 3 of croup and we finally got smiles :-)
