Preston's class was learning about hibernation and had a hibernation day where each child wore pajamas to school. He was so excited and tried on a few different pairs to find the right ones to wear. I love his skinny legs in these striped pajamas with his big shoes.

 

We celebrated our 9th wedding anniversary last Wednesday on January 14th. Happy Anniversary Patrick!

Build a Bear

One of the gifts the boys got for Christmas was a giftcard to build a bear. We had never done this before, so I didn't know what to expect. They loved it! Preston already knew what he wanted when we went in because we had looked online. Once Gavin saw this black dog he knew he had to have it. I really loved how the people helping them create the animals made it individualized. It was cute to see them stuff the dog and pick out everything they wanted for their animal. Preston wanted the soccer uniform as soon as he saw it. Gavin wanted everything and had a huge pile of stuff his dog "needed". We were able to talk him into a hoodie and jeans for his dog and promised next time he could buy it something else. Preston named his dog Sparky and Gavin named his Good Dog. Gavin wanted to name his underwear, but I told him I thought his dog deserved a better name, so Good Dog it was.

Thank you Papa and Nana!

We had a great Christmas! Santa was very good to the boys this year, and so was everyone else! Here are some pictures of Preston and Gavin on Christmas morning-

They got the airport and bridge this year, so we had to build a really cool track for all the trains and airplanes. I think I had more fun with it than they did!
I am trying to catch up on all the things I have missed the last month, so watch for a few more quick posts in the next few days.
