Merry Christmas

 The santa visit. You never know how it'll turn out. This year Axel was all about talking to santa and reminding him what was on his list. He asked for a remote control helicoptor, a remote control boat and a game system. Abel was much more comfortable just checking santa out from a distance.

We haven't been home for the hoildays in over 2 years. Axel is so excited to be around his cousins. I hope every one has a very Merry Christmas.

Love you Grandpa Hamblin

Abel loves to share every thing. Hope Grandpa feels the same way. I wonder how long it'll be before he reads this post. Love you Dad! See you on Chirstmas.

Winter Wonderland

The boys playing in the snow

I love when it snows on a weekend. You have no where to go and it's fun to deal with the snow. We played in our yard and went sledding on the hill that is only a few blocks from our house. Then Monday comes- snow not so much fun any more.

Our Elf

Axel telling Red Nose what he wants for xmas

 

We have been lucky enough to have a Elf visit our house. She was sent from Santa. She stays each day at our house watching over the boys-seeing if they are naughty or nice. Then she returns to the North Pole each night to let Santa know the stories. She comes back each day in a new spot. It's very magical- she can't be touched but you can talk to her and tell her your wishes or hopes for christmas. (the no touching rule is a hard one for Abel- luckly she knows this and returns to a spot right out of reach!) Axel has been having fun each morning finding where Red Nose returns to. She was named by Axel- he thought Red Nose was a prefect name for a Elf.

Mom

A little extra Mom love this week. Axel has learned how to write the word Mom! Very cool. I love his little people that he draws too. He loves to color and draw.

Abel has learned learned how to say the word Momma. It's finally a true clear Momma. He says it while looking at me and will even say it when I pick him up from daycare. Love you my boys!!!

Monkeys

 Axel taking advantage of one of our last nice weekends (this was a few weeks ago). Learning how to climb a tree- with dad's help close by. Axel is so cautious campared to other kids I see. The nurse in me loves this but some times you just have to be daring in life.

 The real reason Axel wanted to climb the tree. The neighbor girl..........who loves to climb trees.
