Annual Gingerbread House Extravaganza

Life seems to have finally calmed down from the holiday season, and I have a little bit of extra time to catch up on the blog.  Good thing too, cause we have a lot of pictures!!
This year we had a suprise visitor during our gingerbread house construction.  The kids had mixed feelings about his appearance.  The older grandkids were super excited and the younger kids wished he would just leave his candy basket and disappear.

Ethan would not sit with Santa by himself so Kyle being the awesome uncle went with him.  I love how Ethan is holding on to Kyle for dear life!!

 He still wasn't happy even after he got his treat from Santa :)

Bronson's first meeting with Santa-he did great :)
 

Eli had mixed feelings about the situation, a little bit nervous/a little bit excited.  He did great though!!

Ethan and Tanner weren't very interested in building gingerbread houses so they went in search of some mischeif!!
 

Sara is getting her baby time in - She's really great with the kids!!

Ethan is trying to sneak a snack

Spencer and Kyle were in charge of building our gingerbread house.  I only see Kyle working though, Spencer must think he's the supervisor. LOL


Our finished house-good job boys!!

Our Village

On the way home, we put Eli in charge of holding the house so that it didn't slide around in the back of the truck.  It's only a five minute drive from G&G's house to our house but Eli still fell asleep.  He kept hold of our house and amazingly didn't get strangled by the seat belt!!

The Boys

Spencer is very popular with his boys.  They are always fighting over him, wanting his undivided attention, especially Ethan.  He has become quite the little daddy's boy.  Everytime Spencer leaves the house Ethan follows him to the door and then throws himself down screaming when he figures out he doesn't get to go too. And when Spence is home Ethan won't let me help him or hold him, all he wants is his dad!!

Ethan-the coolest transformer ever!!

Bronson is finally starting to gain some weight.  Here he is at 1 month


Ethan wanted to be just like Dad and read the Sunday Paper

Hilarious Hair

I just found these pictures of Ethan and I think they are so hilarious that I had to post them.  They were taken a few months ago, right before we gave him his first hair cut. His hair fits his personality-funny and weird :)
Thanks for all the great laughs Ethan!! We love you!!

Baby Bronson

Baby Bronson is here!!
He was in a hurry to get here and arrived 3 weeks early.
He came Friday November 5.  He is 6 lbs 12 oz & 19 inches long.

When we were in the hospital Ethan wasn't too sure what to think about his new baby brother



On the other hand, Eli was instantly in love. He couldn't wait to hold him and give him lots of hugs and kisses.
