December 2018

Declan's most prized possession right now - his box of mini squishmallows.  We went through some old fabric pieces and cut each one of them a blanket.

More amazing sky.  And yes, I take all these pictures while driving.

As I woke up the boys this morning for school, I thought, what comfort, what privilege.  Surrounded by cozy, warm, and mostly clean things.  I'm sure we don't understand how good we have it!

A few of the twins art creations...the first is Declans, the house one is Xanders, and then top is Declans and the bottom is Xanders  of the tree pics.

Weekly dinner at the Macphersons!

Cute Declan.

The remains of 4 boys haircuts!  Let's see...I think it goes (from top to bottom)...Declan (the darkest), Cache (the lightest), Xander (the wavy), and Easton.

Time for the annual gingerbread/graham cracker house building.

Xander's friend, Rayaan, joined in as he doesn't celebrate Christmas and wanted to try this crazy tradition out!

What is going on with Costco gas lately.  It always looks like this.  

I mean, who doesn't love Amazon Prime!

Happy 8th birthday Declan and Xander.

Kick off the party with Marcy and Kensley, their best teenage buds from when they were 2!

Yep, I had to tell him his pants were too small because somehow he didn't notice.
I'm kind of impressed he can fit into his 8 year old brothers clothes.

Enjoying the party bag gifts from Beatriz (my bosses) Christmas party.

The twins got several lego kits for their birthday.  Xander got started on his Minecraft set right away!

Declan is testing out the 'snow ball' toss game for the winter class parties.
My friends always assign me the games and they cover the crafts and snacks.

The boys found the shape container from the closet...

Nope, that's not creepy at all.
