Holiday Events

Pictures to start with...
I'm good at a lot of things....but baking...not so much! It's quite frustrating at times, but as long as I don't burn it I call it a win! I've tried so many receipes and techniques and still doesn't look quite like the pictures. Prime example my cookies. I prepped them by sticking them in the freezer and they still exploded into GIANT cookies about the size of your hand. More room to decorate right?! My gingerbread men are "healthy" hahahaha
Over the weekend we went and saw Santa. After seeing hilarious of friends' pictures and remember last year I was visioning the worst. So I talked it up all week with Aiden asking him what he was going to tell Santa he wanted...We head up to Bass Pro a little after they opened. We skipped church thinking it wouldn't be that bad and Wes couldn't come next weekend. The line was a few deep and Aiden to say the least was OBSESSED with the train. So that helped out with the bribing.
We are next in line and the kids in front of us FREAK OUT! I mean bloody murder, arms thrown all over the place, someone was dying...Aiden gripped my hand tighter and he was starting to get nervous. (OH NO!) Brody could care less. haha He was busy people watching. We get Aiden in front of him and his shyness comes out. Hands immediately in his mouth and goes mute. Finally after another bribe of the huge candy cane basket he has a Ricky Bobby moment of "What do I do with my hands?!" but we get the picture and he even tells Santa he was not just any plane but a BIG BIG BIG plane! (All I have to say is Brody is good!!!)
Look at last year's pictures compared to this year!! SOO BIG NOW!

Wes took Aiden to get Brody a present...when they got home I was like "hmmm Aiden is this for you or Brody?!" Aiden replied "For Brody. We can play together though see all the balls. Share" hahahaha thats what I thought for you ;-) But at least our little tradition has started. (We want the boys to think of each other and get a small budget approved gift so the holiday is not always about me me me!) Without even knowing Aiden wanted a plane "Brody" got him a plane. haha Mommy rocks!
More Elf Visits..... 
 Even elves need their beauty rest.
They sure like playing tricks on the Grinch....taking over the day's slot in the advent calendar.
 Movie night topped off with new pjs and sleepers.....which didn't fit (but quickly replaced). My favorite movie. Swear Aiden is an elf because his 4 main food groups if I let him would be Candy, Candy Cane, Candy corn, and Syrup!
 They were trying to do Mommy and Daddy a favor and trapping the boys inside their room. Too bad Aiden just crawled under it. lol Dang it!
Quiet time. They brought the boys 2 new Christmas books.
 Elves rule and Murphy drools!!!
They were trying to be festive but apparently are color blind.....That blue boys not green!! (Which made Aiden laugh and replying...Maybe Blue is Tink's favorite color.......MAYBE!?!)
