Santa and Jingle Bus!

Now that Chris is finally off work for a few days we are trying to squeeze in as much fun family time as possible. We finally took the kids to see Santa. Drake wasn't so sure about sitting with Santa at first but as soon as it was our turn Drake did awesome. He told Santa what he wants and what Sonja wants. He is such a good big brother. Last night we went downtown to the Jingle Bus. It is a charter bus that takes you around to see all the Christmas lights, and it is only a dollar! It was pretty fun but Drake was mostly excited about being on a bus.


Waiting in line to see Santa!
Sorry the pictures aren't the greatest. Happy Holidays everyone!

Drakey is 3!


My baby boy is 3! I just can't believe it. He is so much fun and full of so much energy. I don't know where I would be without him. He is the craziest, funniest, sweetest boy. We just decided to do a small birthday party for him this year (which worked out great since I had strep). Drake asked to have his best friend Oliver and his family over so we had them come for lunch. Drake requested PB and J for lunch. Actually, he had special requests for all the meals. For breakfast he asked for coffee cake, lunch was PB and J, chocolate cake and chocolate frosting, lightning crackers for snacks, and shrimp and noodles for dinner. He is so funny!

Here are some fun facts about Drakey:
-He loves music and is always singing or humming
-He is obsessed with letters and makes letters out of everything, he has informed me that a candy cane is a J, a slice of a green pepper looks like a C, his PB & J looks like a A when he eats the middle out of it, he makes sticks look like T's, etc.
- He is learning how to write his letters, right now he can draw a O, T, sometimes D, P, & A.
- He can count to 15 and with a little coaching can get to 20.
-He loves cars, still, and is always carrying one around (usually Lightning McQueen).
- He also loves animals.
- He has a cute imagination and is always pretending to be a tiger, lion, Curious George, etc.
- He is the sweetest big brother!
- His favorite color is red.
- He definitely is trying to push the limits lately.
- He is into the "why" stage. "Why you doing that?", "But why?", "What does that do?", etc.
- And he has so much energy! He literally does not stop all day. But he is so much fun!


Here is the cake we made for him. Actually Chris was nice and did it all himself since I wasn't feeling well.


Chris and I gave Drake the CARS Wii game and steering wheels. Drake is a little young for it still but he still was excited to try to play it.

Sonja all dressed up for her brothers party.

Man, I just love these three!

Happy Birthday Drakey Boy!
I Love You!

What do you think?

So everyone is asking me if Drake and Sonja look alike. I am the worst at determining who babies look like and all of that so I thought I would post these pics next to each other so I can see it a little better. I think they look alike but I can definitely see who is who. What do you guys think?

It's Christmas!!!

It is Christmas time! I love, love, love this time of year. It is a busy one for us though. Drake's birthday is a week before Christmas, so it makes it a little hectic, but so fun! The day after Thanksgiving we set up our tree and put up our few decorations. Drake loved helping and he was actually pretty good at putting the ornaments on.
Merry Christmas!




Tada!
