Project 52: week twenty-six

December 15-21

 

On Sunday we celebrated Jackson's 3rd birthday!! It was a gorgeous day to have a party at the park. 

 

Pinata fun!!

Even Colt made it to the party at 5 days old! He did wonderful all snug with mommy:)

Love this picture of her!

Sunday evening mommy and daddy have 'date night on the couch' (this was given the name by Raelynn) and after the kids go to bed we always have pizza and either watch a movie or play a game together.  This Sunday was a little different because we made homemade pizza, so Raelynn had a lot of fun rolling the dough and placing the toppings on it.

Colt is doing great and spending a lot of time in the bouncer.  He loves the vibration and this is where he is happiest (other than being held, of course!)

These two get along SO well.  Just makes me smile.  Elliana was pushing this around and Declan came and sat on it:)

love love love this picture of my three boys:)

Yes, it is a busy time of year with having a newborn and being Christmas.  But that couldn't stop us from making some memories of making cut out cookies! We decided to do the cheater method this year and use premade dough and premade frosting--made it so simple!

Declan and Elliana LOVE looking at the Christmas lights.  Every morning Declan would go downstairs and go to each of the trees and point until we turned them on.  Then at night he would go to the door and want to go outside to look at our house and the neighbors.  They both would say 'whoa' and 'wow' every time they saw them.  We went on a drive to look at lights one night.  We ended the drive sitting on Kyle and Ashley's front porch swing (even though they weren't home!) to watch their neighbors' lights--4 houses with 55,000 lights all tuned to music.  It is so cool!

Thankfully this guy slept the whole time so we could enjoy the lights:)

Raelynn took her doll up on our 'changing table' all by herself and started to put a diaper on her:)
