Pre-school Christmas Program

Will had a Christmas program at his school and sadly, I missed it! I was out of town for work but daddy, Mimi, G.J., Neille, Ally, & Bobby were all in attendance. He was well represented! If you’ll recall, he cried the entire way through his grandparents program. This time – no crying!! Progress! He didn’t sing a single word. But hey, he stood there and looked adorable. :) Below he is the 5th kid from the left on the front row.

They did jingle bells and below he is messing with this bells. He kept dropping them and picking them up. Cute boy.

Christmas Cookies

Will and I made Christmas cookies a few weeks ago. And yes, we were still in our pj’s! It was my day off and we weren’t going anywhere, so we didn’t feel the need to get dressed up! Will loves to help these days. He will “help” us do all sorts of things! He is so sweet and so proud of himself when he does. He was very into the cookie business! He’s started “cheesing” for the camera lately. What a cute cheese ball! Aren’t they beautiful? He was proud! I tried to help a little, but really they were his masterpiece. I let him have at it. He thought they tasted great, so that’s all that mattered. Fun, fun memory!

Best Face Forward

I had to post this picture to redeem my sweet boy from the melt down picture I posted earlier. This is one of the first pictures we took and he was picture perfect! Clearly, it didn't last long, so I am so glad we got this one! It was a gift for my mom, so I had to keep it under wraps until after Christmas. Just wanted to show you that Will did give us a good pic. Just one - but that's all we needed! :) How handsome are these 3 boys? Cousin fun!!

On a side note, Will has been a sweetheart lately! He has been so fun and so playful. Luckily whatever was making him crazy awhile back seems to have gone away. I am loving my sweet 2 year old! I was off last week and am off this week and I am loving it! So much fun right now!!

Merry Christmas!

Sometimes it is the phone pics that turn out the best. I can't tell you how in love I am with this picture because it captures our cute, funny, playful 2 year old so well! He is so hard to photograph and yet Ally caught this on her phone! We are having so much fun right now during this Christmas season. Having this sweet 2 year old who gets so excited about everything Christmas related makes it all that much sweeter. He loves seeing Baby Jesus, Santa, Frosty, Christmas lights (they make him happy he says), horse drawn carriages, etc! His enthusiasium is amazing. Makes me stop and realize that I need to take it all in more. What a beautiful season - celebrating the birth of our Savior. May you have a Merry Christmas with those that you love celebrating the most amazing gift ever given!

Really?!?

I have to capture this one on the blog. This is pricless. When it was happening, I was pretty annoyed and embarrassed. Now, I think it rocks. We tried to take a cousins pic with a photographer - so you know - we paid money for it. I am not sure why I thought my child would be interested in doing this. He's not always the easiest going kid and only likes to do things when it is his idea (not sure where he got that trait...oh yeah, that would be me). This was about 5 min into the session! Yep - that's him. Face down on the ground...crying. There actually was one good pic taken at the very beginning. I'll post it after Christmas so you can see is he a sweet, adorable 2 year old at times! (Actually, he's sweet most of the time!). I really am planning to frame this one. It beautifully captures the trials of being 2. The greatness of this pic is Dylan's cheesy smile in the background. It is clearly forced and you can just know what he's thinking - I'm still smiling like I'm supposed to! :) Sweet Dylan.

2 yr School Pic

I never posted this. Here is his school picture this year. It isn't a very good scan for some reason, so please excuse. This makes me laugh. He's got that serious grin. It is a very Will pic!

Ho Ho Ho!

Well, he still wasn't a fan this year! They took Santa pics at Will's school and I was excited because I really thought that if he saw his friends sitting in the old guy's lap that he wouldn't be as unsure. Nope! :) Maybe next year!
