The boys digging into their Christmas Stockings.
Easton and Cache love these little ornamental balls (with key) that hold secret treasures.
A ring pop at 8am, sure, why not?
Declan is excited that his ring pop is green.
I really tried to simplify (and lessen) Christmas presents this year...the tree doesn't show it though.
I'll try again next year!
I don't usually give my kids clothes for Christmas. They unwrap them and think, why am I getting clothes? That's not a present. But for Cache, the lover of all shorts, I made an exception!
Thanks to a local craigslist posting, a Lego castle (already assembled) and a dragon castle set.
Inspite of David's lack of enthusiasm, Easton got a Rainbow Loom this Christmas. He loved it. I loved it (it kept him busy for hours). Of course his first request was the flower bracelet...the challenging design at the back of the book. We conquered it!
All in a day's work!
We have a tradition of going to the Botanical Gardens in DC every year. They have replicas of all the significant buildings made of natural materials as well as a cool train exhibit.
I should get credit for just having all 4 boys in the picture together!
A shout-out to my dad in Seattle!
These little leaf-like sculptures were filled with different scents.
The National Tree.
The Air and Space Museum.
The older boys are really into ice skating. The younger boys, not so much!
The big boys being so cute with each other.
Moments later Cache crashed and hit his head really hard. Poor kid.
Ask Cache what he wants for breakfast, lunch, or dinner...crepes!
He ate this meal with his giant Hexbug.
The loom continues!
The twins enjoying a Christmas present in their own way.
