Boys, balls, bikes, balloons & boxes

These boys love balloons! When Caleb got his haircut, they gave us some balloons at Cookie Cutters! They were the toy of the day that entire day. Good thing they gave us 2 balloons!


I don't know what it is about boxes, but Caleb and Gage absolutely love them! It's usually best to have 2 boxes (here they each get to sit in their own box while watching Baby Einstein)....
... because if we only have 1 box, then they have to share!
And they don't always like to share! Caleb was quite upset when Gage climbed into HIS box!
Even though they each got their own tricycle for Christmas, they would both sit on the same one. Caleb on the seat and Gage on the back board. And guess who got to push them around the house?
Here they are playing with their new bath toys! You pull the strings on the bugs and they swim in the water!

Sweet Gage - sound asleep! Don't you just want to lean down and give him kisses?!

Christmas Lights 2011

We went downtown one night to see the Christmas lights. We had wanted to go all month, but finally got our butts in gear and went one night because it was 60 degrees outside! How can you pass that up? Especially in December!

The lights were beautiful and all 3 boys really enjoyed seeing them (Brady and I did, too!).

Christmas Eve 2011

As per tradition, we went to my parent's house for Christmas Eve and had a wonderful time with all the family!

Caleb and Gage just would not stay off of the coffee table! At least when they were up here, they weren't trying to get in the fire!

Christmas 2011

I always like to take a picture of how nice Santa set up the presents - before the chaos ensues!

Here are Caleb and Gage's presents...
... and Gibson's presents!
Caleb LOVES his tricycle!
Gibson is super excited about his XBOX Kinect! (And mom was super-excited about the Disneyland video game that came with it!).
I think the boys sat on their tricycles most of the morning!
Opening presents, with a little help from dad!

Mom opening a present!
Dad opening his HUGE presents! These 2 big boxes had been sitting in the hall for about 4 days and he had no clue what they were!!! (It was a Sleep Number bed!)
Peek-a-Boo! Caleb and Gage absolutely loved this cardboard house. Unfortunately, even with numerous tape jobs, it only lasted about a week!
Vroom, vroom!!! Gage already figured out the bell!
Caleb figured out the bell already, too!
My parents came over for breakfast!
It was a wonderful Christmas. We are very fortunate!

Christmas Day with Brady's Family 2011

Kirk & Meili hosted the Bezoski family Christmas get-together this year. And, lucky for me, they had just gotten this new puppy! What a cutie! I almost snuck her home!

Hi, Grandma B!
Gibson!

Thanksgiving 2011

Daryl and Courtney graciously hosted Thanksgiving this year. As you can tell, we all had a great time! Daryl cooked a fabulous turkey!!! The boys absolutely loved the food! And Gage really liked the mashed potatoes (as you can see!)
Mashed potato face - Gage!
We turned our heads for one second and both the boys had disappeared! They had found the stairs and made the way up to the top! Here they are looking down at everyone in the living room! It's hard to keep track of them when we're not at home in our baby-proofed house!
We celebrated Milo's 2nd birthday! Here's the cute birthday boy blowing out the candles on his cake!
Gibson and Carter - crazy cousins!
