I know this is a bit late....but here are some of our Christmas memories...Mommy still can't believe her "babies" had their 3rd Christmas....! And while she thought the past few years were a hoot...this year was a blast!

First Haircuts

Evan gets a haircut....and snack
Alexander's turn
Big boy haircuts

Yes,

You've read correctly.....the boys had their first haircuts just in time for Santa to visit! Evan & Alexander were fine, as they ate thru the entire process....It was much worse for Mommy who had a difficult time watching her babies' curls get cut....But in the end she loved their new look...and the boys loved the chocolate donut with sprinkles Mommy's friend Chrissy gave them!

Santa

As you can see Santa was a lot more popular last year...Evan kept asking where the "Baby Jesus" was....and Alexander really didn't seem to be all that impressed either....xo

Cousins....

Alexander "kissing" the poor baby!

The boys got together with their cousins last week....Poor Lilly wasn't too impressed. Alexander, who is obsessed with babies, finally got to hold one...his 6 week old cousin McKenzye...and he was over the moon! Evan was more taken with the toys his MomMom had for him! Love, Melissa & Co.

Happy Thanksgiving!

We hope that all of our family and friends had as blessed Thanksgiving as we did......As always, Lots of Love and Prayers..... Melissa & Co. xo

Happy Halloween!

Evan as Po
Alexander as Tinkywinky
Mommy loves (her) Teletubbies
And they're off!
Oh well, these costumes seemed like a good idea at the time!!

Happy Halloween to Everyone! This was the first year that the boys chose their costumes and Teletubbies was the favorite. For those who don't know the story....Mommy asked the boys (independently of one another) to pick their costume from a pretty good size book. Alexander (my big bruiser) immediately chose Tinkywinky...and a few minutes later Evan decided on Po without any hesitation. The boys had lots of fun and all of our family and friends were so generous! Hope everyone had as much fun as we did!! xo xo

The boys enjoyed the pumpkin patch this weekend...and Mommy couldn't believe an entire year had passed since their last visit! Evan & Alexander couldn't just settle on any old pumpkin, and had lots of fun in their selection process. Some were "big", "a baby", "bumpy" and yet others had "boo boos"....The boys also had lots of fun playing in the dirt pile with "diggers", climbing on playsets, and riding in the cow train. But no matter how much fun her boys had, Mommy had the best time of all! Try not to grow so quickly this year my little ones.......xo xo xo xo

My Monkeys meet Curious George

Alexander is ready to party!
Evan and Alexander as the "Man in the Yellow Hat"
Mommy and 3 monkeys.....Evan and Alexander

Anyone who's ever spent any time with Evan and Alexander knows how much their "bi-bary" visits mean to them each week. One day was very special.....we all got to meet Curious George at a party he held at the Children's library. I'll never forget the face on my boys the moment George first appeared....I wish life could always be that magical for them.....xo xo xo

I'll Be There For You....

This was an "Awww" moment for Mommy....(of course there are lots of those around here)....Alexander was nervous about coming down the slide...so Evan offered to catch him...When that wasn't enough to convince Alexander...Evan met him halfway....and caught him! Such a sweet big brother!! Moments later (after Mommy put the camera away) Alexander repaid the favor for his big brother...... Love to all, Melissa & Co. xo xo xo xo (P.S. In case you're wondering...Alexander is wearing his "safety goggles"..)

Life is short....
