Holiday Season

 

I saw a holiday sweater online from H&M and I am SO glad I decided to buy it for Brady!  He looks SO adorable in it (especially with a white collared shirt underneath!)  He was actually very excited to put it on because it has a truck.  The pictures of him in his holiday sweater are some of my favorite photos I have ever taken of him!

Skye continues to be very cooperative for his holiday photos & he even (briefly!) wore his special handkerchief.  He loves to sit under the Christmas tree multiple times a day & he especially seems to love our new bell ornaments.

I'm glad I was able to get a few pictures of my Tyler but I can't wait to capture one of him smiling, since he has such a beautiful smile!  I'm glad Brady asked Dan to "push" him on the decorative sled (and I'm glad it didn't break!) so that I could get a picture of him too!

Brady and I love listening to Christmas carols in the car!  We especially love singing, "Oh Christmas Tree" and "It's Beginning to Look A Lot Like Christmas' (at least the words in the songs that we know!)

Making me happy lately...

Selfies & Starbucks with Brady...

Adding a few additional holiday decorations...

This ADORABLE photo of Tyler from 2013 (he was three!) that popped up in my Shutterfly memories this week.  I have absolutely no memory of ever seeing it before but I absolutely love it...

I cannot get over these comparison photos of Brady! I can't believe he will be seven years old in less than two weeks...

While going through my camera to make room for some upcoming photo shoots, I came across this photo of Brady from the summer, when he wore his Christmas pajama pants!  He'll get to wear them again this week for "Holiday Pajama Day" at school!

There are so many educators at Brady's school who help to make school such a wonderful place for him.  (Even on weekends he asks if he gets to go to first grade!)  I put together gifts that we can't wait to give next week!

Santa drove by our house this week in a fire truck!  I love the videos, as well as this sweet photo of a very tired Tyler holding Brady while they patiently waited for Santa's arrival.  (I'm so glad Dan got to see him, too!)

We absolutely love hearing Brady read!  Sometimes he will say, "Charlie" instead of "Christmas" which is especially cute considering one of his good friends in first grade is named Charlie!  He looked SO cute the other day, reading on the sofa with his Gaga...

It's Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas...

 

We are loving our Christmas decorations, listening to Christmas music on the radio, and driving around to look at Christmas lights!  The boys are definitely counting down the days until Christmas (and winter break!)

Making me happy lately...

Brady lost his first tooth the other night!  He was eating a gingerbread cookie when all of a sudden, he said, "Help!" and when I looked at him I could tell something funny was going on with his mouth.  I said, "Did you lose a tooth?" and he reached in his mouth & then handed me his tooth.  He didn't cry but he was a bit upset and scared.  I gave him lots of hugs and was SO excited that eventually he seemed okay.  The next day he got a special gift from the Tooth Fairy & it was so fun to get to hear him read the note!

I bought little sleds from Target & Brady wanted to "ride" them.  I had him put his stuffed animals on them instead & now he pushes them back & forth & it's SO cute!

Skye is having much better Christmas tree behavior this year compared to the past two years!

I love having the house decorated!  I recently added this tiny tree...
