Man I have to tell you that Christmas is so much funner with a little kid. It's not been until this year that Marcus has made it REALLY fun. He's getting into all of it, loves putting the ornaments on the advent calendar and every morning races upstairs to turn the tree lights on. It's so cute!
I've been pretty lucky that the boys don't try to rip the presents open. They go over and act like they want to open them up but a "no, no!" does the trick. They rearrange the gifts and everything but they don't rip them open. They do, however, move the ornaments like their life depends on it. They even have started putting their toys up on the tree like ornaments. Their faves are their duplo lego blocks. They make perfect ornaments.
I'm happy to report that Marcus is starting to be a nicer brother. He was reallllly mean for a while there, no matter what I tried. I mostly tried giving him more attention when he wasn't acting mean and I guess it finally got through to him because he started being nicer. If he hurts Jamesen, he'll go up and give him a kiss and say "Ah debber" (all better) and hug him. At least it's something. Can't wait for them to be a bit older and be the best of friends. That'll be so cute.
Sabe and I got the idea to take the boys mini golfing. The picture in my head was so fun and awesome with lots of great pics of the boys golfing... yeah. Didn't happen. Jamesen didn't want to have anything to do with the club and decided that the hills and things were his own personal running course. I had to quickly stop him from picking up the ball of the golfer behind us who we would have let pass us if the boys hadn't been running through the place like nobody's business. It's a good thing it was free because it didn't last longer than 10 minutes and I couldn't get a single pic of Jamesen! That was disappointing.
We bought the boys some cute little winter Sunday outfits. The thing that sold me was that one of them had a penguin on it. Couldn't resist. The boys needed Sunday clothes anyways since they didn't really have anything other than plaid shirts. They look so cute in them! I just wanna eat them up :)
Well, that's our update. Sorry about being so scarce around here. I'm sure it'll pick back up a lot once we get to where we're going. We'll know where that is in a few months. We're crossing our fingers for Cali though!
Here's some pics from the month
