Santa

We were lucky enough to see Santa a few times this year and with each time Breck becomes a little more comfortable with "the person behind the costume". This was taken at Bentleyville. Breck was even telling Santa what he wanted for Christmas.. Hockey nets of course! I will post more Christmas pictures after the new year!

Shadow Fun

I love watching my boys play. It was sunny out and as I watched them play I also saw their shadows on the wall and wanted to take pictures of what I see when they play. I love these pictures....

Sledding in the backyard

Cullen loves being outside but just isn't quite big enough to sit on the uneven snow alone or while I'm helping Breck and not end up face first in a snow pile so he is enjoying the view from a laundry basket! Breck decided he wanted to sled down the hill with his zamboni (dump truck) as the sled. On the packed ground it actually worked pretty good. He went down both forward and backwards, but liked forward the best cause he went faster!

The boy sandwich..

The other night Shawn was holding Cullen and Breck was a little jealous. So Breck sat on the couch and wanted to hold daddy. So Shawn sat down on Breck still holding Cullen and it turned into a boy sandwich! Love my boys:)

SHIPS!!!

Breck loves listening for the ships while we are at home and when we go to the Depot he always checks to see if the bridge is up. Well, that day it was so we drove down to see what was coming in. And this is what we saw... How cool is that! Duluth is such a beautiful place. And it had a tug boat! Breck thought that was the coolest thing ever!

Trying for a good picture....

This one turned out pretty well. They are both looking and sort of smiling! But then I thought I could get a better one. So they were playing in the hallway and I ran to get my camera and Mazie joined me. So perfect...I will get a good one of all 3 of them :) In my head they were going to turn out super cute.....I guess I got cute! 2 out of 3 looking but Cullen was still smiling. Cullen smiling cause he wants to go down the stairs, Mazie sad she wasn't the focus, and Breck singing. It was like trying to photograph the circus! But this was WAY MORE FUN than posing for pictures... Then Breck wanted to help Cullen crawl up the stairs, so he is next to him telling him what to do next. It was very sweet!

He's a Mover!!

Big Brother loves to help out...this morning he wanted to feed Cullen breakfast. He did a really good job:) Then Culley is off....down the hall, through the living room, climbing on whatever he is close to, then off to something else (usually Mazie's water dish!) Culley has officially figured out the table. Climbing through it, Standing in the middle of it, and even playing hide and seek with his brother in it. Between the two of them this table has been used more than any toy they have!

Finding the Perfect Tree...

We have made it a family tradition to get our tree from Pine Knob Tree Farm in Duluth. It's so fun walking around finding the perfect tree. And this was it! Jonathon (a past student of mine) shows us where the "good" trees are and cuts it down for us. This year he wanted to pull Breck around in a sled. They both had a good time. Both boys hanging their first ornaments of the year! Breck's was his first ornament and Cullen's was a puppy sleeping cause he seemed to like it and it was cute:) Another family one, and we even tried to get Mazie...not super sucessful but we'll take it. Fully decorated:) Yea Christmas!
