Christmas is coming!!

Christmas has come and gone and I'm already missing all the fun that we had last month. 

Back by popular demand, we hosted a gingerbread house making night with some of Travis' coworkers and these were the beauties the boys created:

Not to be outdone by the four foot and under crowd, here are Trav and the gang. You've got a TIE Fighter, an X Wing, and Kylo Ren's command ship, a battle gondola, a scorpion and Santa's sleigh. This band of geeks may have been heavily influenced by the release of the new Star Wars...

The week of Christmas I realized that only Benji had gotten to visit with Santa so far this year, so I took the kidlets to the mall one day to sit on Santa's lap. They were thrilled and patiently waited in line for their chance with the big guy and a candy cane.


And then, we went to see the new Star Wars (which was completely awesome!). Despite Peter's less than enthused face here, he was ridiculously excited to go see it. Benji decided he wanted to wait until he could see it at home so just Trav and I took Mr. Peter.
Look at this grown-up kid! 

My mom and David came to stay with us for Christmas and one night we went to our favorite Indian restaurant so Benji could have his 'red chicken on the bone.' The boys entertained everyone with their jokes and Nora practiced her photography skills while waiting for our food.


All three monkeys snuggled up waiting for the big day to finally come!
