The Green Eyed Momma

Buddy and Max wanted to check out the new toys, that the boys received at Grandma's! Max, loved Ryan's soft barn set! Buddy played with the train set from Aunt Erin and Uncle Jason. The picnic basket was a huge hit! Ryan and Mikey "Look at my new train!" Ryan wanted to play with the cups.

Over the river and through the woods to Grandma's house we go... We had Christmas on Sunday, at Grandma and Pa-pa's house. Mom's tree is always beautiful! Ryan and Mikey, looking at all of the gifts! Mikey and Ryan playing with Grandma's pillows! Who knew pillows gave static hair? Connor, Aiden , and Mikey...love the new bunk beds! Jason vs. Ryan...stare down 2010! Ryan entertained himself with the little table and chair set! He worked really hard to climb up into the chair all by himself! Mission complete...must take a break! Grandpa's food was yummy! The boys loved the ham! Mikey- Aiden -Ryan-Connor Mikey and Aiden Ryan and Mikey Mikey got a train set! Mikey was not overly impressed when he first opened his next gift..."It's a basket?" Then Grandma told him to open the picnic basket, and he was THRILLED, that it had lots of goodies inside! Ryan and Mikey looking at the picnic basket together.

Max and Buddy made a gingerbread man! Buddy did an amazing job with the icing bag! Max made an elf sized gingerbread man. "Cookie!" "Can we eat it Mommy?" Ryan and Mikey Mikey and the poor little gingerbread man...he was clueless as to what was going to happen. Mikey took a bite out of Ginger's head!!!

Mikey WAS SOOOOO EXCITED to finally build the engine for his train set. The directions were double the last two sessions! The class was packed, so Mikey picked a spot near the shelf with siding. (Daddy convinced him to move down the isle...) Daddy and Mikey Mikey set and hammered the nail on the smoke stack. Looking at his work... Looking like a train... Wheels are tricky... Mikey Mikey was so happy, he couldn't wait to put all 3 pieces to the train set together! Thanks Daddy for building a train with me! Mikey proudly placed his train on his dresser!

Mikey and Ryan spent the night at Grandma's house. They found Buddy and Max's cousins had made a mess at Grandma's house. (Country elves and the silly elf... according to Mikey and Dylan...) Ryan and Mikey talking about the mess. Mikey loves Grandma's train set!

Max wanted hot chocolate, as it was so cold outside! So, big brother Buddy thought he would try to help him... Buddy and Max made a huge mess! Boxes, packets, and chocolate powder every where... Mikey was surprised to see the elves in the kitchen! "Does Daddy know the elves made a mess in HIS kitchen?" Love this picture of Ryan...he looks a little confused! Mikey loved the mess! "Silly elves made a mess, I want a cup of hot chocolate too!"

The elves set up the garage, and found the hot wheels cars. They thought it would be fun to have a race to see which car was faster. Mikey wanted to know how the garage and box of cars made it off the shelf, "The elves are too little to carry the garage." Mikey and Ryan then had a race to see if their cars were fast too. 'Fill 'er up," Mikey was talking to the gas pump.
