Saturday night we went outside and scattered around the reindeer food! The boys walked all over the yard and then made a trail right up to our front yard just to make sure the reindeer would know what house they were headed to. They took this job very seriously.
Sunday morning these three boys waited patiently at the top of the steps while Brian got the video camera ready! Gavin and I were up at 7am and Colton finally woke up at 7:30 and then woke Austin up right after that. I think Gavin and I were more excited than anyone else!!
All three of the boys in action. Colton and Austin were great about helping Gavin open presents. Gavin opened up a toy and Colton looked at it and said, "Oh Gavin, that is sooo cool! Very cool present Gavin!" It was pretty cute. Austin and Colton were also complimentary to each other on the gifts they were opening. They loved playing with all the Teenage Mutant Ninja Tutle stuff and for the most part they shared very well. The art easel was another big hit! We played some impromptu Pictionary with the dry erase markers and had a great time. Austin drew a picture of 'the galaxy', which Brian finally guessed. Brian drew a picture of 'the solar system', which Austin guessed. I drew things like 'school buses' . . . so I was a little out of my league playing with those two!
One of our Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles in action! It was non-stop ninja moves all day and Austin told us that he wants to wear these jammies every day forever . . . and then the doorbell rang and his friend Harrison asked him if he wanted to come play in the snow . . . and those jammies were off in 1 second flat! I played with the boys outside in the morning for about an hour before we started to get cold. Then, in the afternoon, Austin and Colton went over to the neighbors to build a fort with them at their house. They were outside again for over an hour. They definitely love the snow and it was a good day for them to be outside, since it wasn't as cold as it had been the previous week.
Gavin had his first bite of vegetables on Sunday afternoon. He had peas! And this only happened once. After the initial shock of getting to eat something besides oatmeal, he ate all the rest of his peas. He ate peas at dinner time too and seemed to like them. His reaction wasn't as strong as what we got from Austin or Colton the first time they ate peas, so Brian and I were surprised that he seemed okay with them.
And here is a picture of our three little elves! I will try to get another one but really . . . looking at this picture of Gavin cracks me up EVERY TIME I see it! All three boys were wearing their hats sticking straight up and it was adorably hilarious! We are looking forward to spending time with family in the upcoming days! Merry Christmas!!
