Christmas Time

This is what the boys do when they visit Dad's office, just play on the paralegal's computer. I thought is was a good picture so I included it.
We decided to spend our evening last night putting up the Christmas decorations. We had a great time decorating the tree and getting the house ready for all the decorations. Luke helped put all the decorations on the tree, and even replaced all the decorations Noah pulled off.

Noah loved the beads and kept him occupied most of the evening, except for when he was dancing to the Chipmunks version of jingle bells.
Both boys helped set up the manger set and were very good.
"Noah Happy?"
Finished decorating and time for a break. Good we have Christmas candy.
Luke is always good to share his candy with Noah.
The finished tree.

The tree looks very nice. What big helpers you had in decorating. The boys look so natural sitting at the computer, maybe you should get them one at home, then you could post more pictures of them too!

Great post! I love the little boys helping with the decorating! I can remember, as a child, being so excited to decorate and what a wonderfully, magical feeling it was. I'm so happy that the boys love the candy and will remember they made it at Grandma's every time they eat it! I LOVE CHRISTMAS!!!

Could your child look anymore like my husband? The big smile picture of Noah looks like a little clone of him. I guess there is no hope for my genes at all for our kids...

Beautiful tree! I'm so happy you have finally updated and changed to Christmas music! Glad the boys were such good helpers, everyone has warned me that next year my decorations will be destroyed by Jack, but I have high hopes if yours can survive that little Noah boy!

LOVED the pictures! Your tree turned out great. The manger set also looks familiar, maybe because we have the same one set up in our living room.:)
I love Noah's big smile. He is such a funny kid. Luke reminds me so much of Kaden. Thanks for sharing.

I can never get enough of the boys. Thanks for bringing them up to see Grandpa and Grandma. I think that Noah is going to be a big help to me when I start farming next summer. Plan on spending the entire summer here. Luke really is very talented on the piano. His sense of timing is so good and he plays with either hand equally well. Keep him going. Tell the boys I love them, and you too of course. Christmas is so close that I will see you all so soon.

Haylee's post reminded me that Patrice and I have you and Rick, or you and Olivia, depending on who is reading this. I don't know how we always seem to get Rick. Let us know what you want. Rick, try to stay within the limit this year when making your request. Tell my boys that they did a great job on the tree.

Your boys are such big helpers! I can't wait until Cam is old enough to understand what Christmas is all about! Your Christmas tree looks great! We hope to see you guys over the holidays.

Kati said...

So cute! It is so fun to have those little helpers! The pictures are so cute of the boys...but I have to say, they are even cuter in person! It was fun seeing you on Thanksgiving!

Oh I wish those boys were here to play in the snow and see the "Reindeer" I hope that they get to be "home" for the holidays soon! You have the cutest boys in the whole wide world. Although things are not as wild at our house since Noah left. But now we know that everything is Mia's fault! The tree look darling!

Alec and Tiffany said...

Rico! Your boys are so cute and your tree looks great. I hope everything at the office is going good. I miss everybody. When are you guys moving into the new building? Bytheway, we need to get Al and Patrice blogging!

I would say that in the picture where Olivia is standing hanging ornaments she looks to be pregnant. I've hesitated to post this observation since neither Olivia or Rick have announced to us that Olivia is pregnant. But I thought I would share the observation. Just to clarify, Olivia it is not that you look fat, just pregnant.

Olivia, I do not think you look fat or pregnant at all! Rick--please do not tell her that someone said she does, it is not good for any woman to hear that--pregnant or not! However, I would like an update soon, you've got to have some exciting news somewhere!

Billie Sue said...

Rick and Olivia - pregnant or not pregnant -- that's not the hot topic for me! If my two little grandsons weren't so darned cute, I wouldn't beg for more pictures, but PLEASE SATIATE A POOR STARVING GRANDMA'S DESIRE TO SEE MORE OF HER TWO LITTLE GRANDSONS AND UPDATE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
