Winter is Here

Time needs to start slowing down, especially right before Christmas.  Too many things on my checklist and not enough time!  St. Nick stopped by our house on Friday morning.  Alex was pumped and St. Nick did not disappoint him.  His favorite was the Spider Man mask and web-making glove.  Seanie would have been happy to have a stocking full of just candy but St. Nick was good to him too with coloring books, crayons and bath toys, among other goodies!
 
Spidee in action!

Seanie was happy with his snuggly new Angry Birds blankie from St. Nick :)

We had another big milestone for Sean this weekend.  We now changed his toddler bed into a full-size big boy bed and he could not be more upset about it!  We had to move around some furniture in his room too and I think the poor kid is discombobulated.  Nap time hasn't gone well and Sean would prefer to sleep on the floor rather than his bed.  He'll get used to it eventually, but in the meantime, I've been laying with him at night until he falls asleep:)  

Not a happy camper!

Getting cozy in his new bed :)

We finished off the weekend decorating our house for Christmas.  Dave and Alex braved the cold weather and brought home a beautiful Christmas tree which we all decorated with ornaments.  Alex and Sean were a huge help and hung most of the ornaments.  (I may be rearranging a few of the clumps later tonight!)  Alex had some fun playing in the first real snowfall of the season and we had a movie night with Tyler and Anna.  

Movie Night!

Carefully hanging the ornaments :)

Nice work, Alex!

Seanie loves the singing snowman!

Getting the hang of sledding :)
