The 22nd day of Christmas!

Its Cookie Day!

We roll em' and bake em'

And decorate with lots of laughs!

And this is the mayhem that ensued. The problem with shopping for frosting the Thursday before Christmas is that there was only purple to choose from.  So thankfully we had a few choices already at the house. :)

It's lightly snowing today - maybe we can sled tomorrow! 

Merry Christmas!

Days of Christmas

On the 16th day of Christmas we wrapped presents mom bought for us to use in our first ever Christmas present swap at tomorrow's party.
On the 17th day of Christmas we had a fun Christmas party at a friends house.  At the swap - Jeremiah was sad he got Hungry Hippos, Nathanael picked the present he brought - a ball maze game, Adley picked the present he got - a football helmet cup, mom got a Tim Keller book on the second half of Romans - time to get the first half so she can read up before Pastor Dana preaches on Romans this Winter, and Dad got the Pie in the Face game for Jeremiah.  Once home from the party - we loaded up the game - and played.  Jeremiah is very excited - Dad is awesome.

You crank it as many times as the spinner points to - and you see if you get pie in the face.

Yes - pie in the face!

Yes, more pie in the face!!

On the 21st day of Christmas- we wrapped our presents to the Cousins.  Now we have gifts under the tree!  It's getting so exciting!

Love,

The Christmas excited buddies

On the 15th day of Christmas

We have ICE!

First with boots!

Then with skates!

It's only 19 degrees outside, but we LOVE it!

Love,

The future Bruins

On the 11th Day of Christmas!

The boys noticed many hungry birds flitting around on the back railing - and were figuring they were hungry for some seeds.  (Mom usually puts the feeder out first snow - it's 3 days late.)  So we filled the feeder.

And did some fun bird watching - complete with bird books.  

What a gorgeous afternoon for some sledding.  The boys slid a ton - even standing on the sleds - lots of videos to enjoy - maybe mom can figure out how to publish them.

The sled stopped - Adley didn't.

Love,

The nature guys

8th and 9th Day of Christmas

On the 8th day of Christmas we enjoyed our Co-Op Christmas party.  Fun with friends - Christmas carols, and yummy food.  Adley spent most of the time outside with his buddies playing football.  Nathanael and his friends, and Jeremiah and his friends were inside and outside enjoying.  There was a game room, the gym, and crafts that none of these boys did. :)

On the 9th day of Christmas we went and got our TREE this morning before the snow storm.  It's snowing nice now.  It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas now.

Snowball making time for our first snowball fight of the season.  We filled two buckets before beginning.

The snow was not great for snowmen or much else at the house so we took a walk to the pond.  We walked backwards, so no one could follow our tracks....

Adley made a delicious snowy treat.

He made Jeremiah's with chocolate chunks.

Jeremiah's Santa Snowball.

Kings of the Mountain!!

This boy is screaming in a trap.  Jeremiah is a good poster helper.

Love,
The snow buddies

7th Day of Christmas!

We got to visit the Warrior Ice Arena - the venue where the Bruin's practice.

Look at this sweet crew who came.

Check out the size of this hockey stick.  We got a tour of the facility to start.

We got to watch the Bruins practice.

We got to skate on their ice using this 'learn to skate snowman.'  The big guys, mom and Grandma had a blast on the ice.

These guys checked out the team bench- and after that the penalty box..

Love,

The Hockey Dudes

5th & 6th Day of Christmas

On the 5th day of Christmas - Jeremiah got a cavity filled. :(
But he did great.

On the 6th Day of Christmas we had LOADS of fun.  First stop the Ecotarium with friends.

We spent an hour building this wonderful creations with our friends out of Keva planks.  Then we went to Mechanic's Hall in to listen to the Navy Band and eat our bagged lunch.  Next up was a Lego build at the Mall.

I really like this HUGE model of the Millennium Falcon - I think the workers said it was 8000 Legos (the largest the workers have made.)

We built Christmas Trains.  We drove them up and down the escalators before heading home.

Love,

The buddies

Second day of Christmas!

We decorated Gingerbread Men at the Library - and ate them all up!

Yum!

First Day of Christmas!

On the first day of Christmas we went to the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston.

And hung our beautiful wreath made my Taunte Lou!

Love, 

The Christmas buddies

More Halloween

After a super fun awesome time at Great Wolf Lodge, we got to trick or treat one more time.  Adley wanted to stay home and pass out candy to the kids.  Mom and these dudes went out.

We got lots more YUMS.  Nathanael ended up with 8 lbs. of candy.

So fun,

The dudes

Happy Halloween!

This is the crew, out on the town.  We got a TON of sweets and had a super fun time!
Love,
The Trick or Treaters

Trunk or Treat

We tried a Trunk or Treat today at our sister church.  It was fun.  We got to try out our Halloween costumes.  We got to do a game at each 'trunk' for candy: bean bag toss, basket ball hoop, or ring the canning jars or sport cones.  We had a fun time and are ready for this weeks many awesome adventures coming up.

Love,

The Knight, Batman & Venom. (And our friend Yoshi of course.)

Pumpkins!

Jeremiah enjoyed the library craft this week.

He made a pumpkin face on one side...

And on the other.  So fun!

Today we went to Parlee Farms with friends.

This is 3 boys trying to lift a crazy big pumpkin!

Today we took this massive one home!

Mom and the dudes!

Having some fall fun!

Love,

The pumpkin dudes

The weather this fall has been phenomenal.  Our foliage is at it's peak now.

A water gun fight - Oct 22nd (Adley was watching football - we had a friend over.)

Fun Things

Wow, we've been busy again!  We had a SUPER AWESOME time at Memere's for a week.  We went to the Museam of Science.  The new Football exhibit was so cool.

Action on the field!

These are 3 football players legs casts - wow.

Just a nice day of school doing math!

We went to Quarrybrook homeschool activities.  A gorgeous day in the woods to learn about habitats with Jeremiah.  The other guys did other classes.

We're learning about the Renaissance, Jeremiah is painting like Michelangelo did the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel.  All the boys enjoyed this paining. 

and then it led to this...

Today Adley had his football playoff game.  Wow, was it good.  The first game they had a great win.  The second game was so close and finished in overtime.  Wow.

Until next time,

The fun guys
