Doing Chores

The other day when Tim was out of town, Wills decided to help me wast the bottles.  He did so good - mommy's helper!

The Adventures of Elfie

Elfie came back to see us this year, and, as Wills says, he is quite "mischievous"!  This year, he got into a lot of stuff - the toilet paper in the bathroom, Wills' stocking, and - the messiest of all - the flour!  He made snow angels on our kitchen table!

On another day, he took the Batmobile for a spin around the living room:

And finally, when we were in Aiken, he was reunited with Speedy, his cousin elf!

Seeing Santa

Tim took Wills to see Santa this year, and Wills did great.

He walked right up and told Santa exactly what he wanted for Christmas:

"The Batcopter and the Batman that goes with the Batcopter and the Mater that is sized like my medium sized Dragon Lightning McQueen."  Wills has said that, verbatim, to each and every person who has asked him what he wants for Christmas.

Visit to the Marietta Square

Grandma and Grandpa were in town to visit and watch the kids so that Tim and I could go to my work holiday party on Saturday night.  We attempted to go see Santa at the Marietta Square, but so did a lot of other people, and we got a little tired of waiting :)   I got lots of great pics of the kids walking around though...just none of them together.

The Ironman Spaceship

Wills' friend Jax gave him the coolest Christmas gift ever - superhero headquarters!  He has taken it with him everywhere, and tells everyone about it.  We got together with Jax and Christina to see the movie "Arthur", which both of the boys really liked.

Happy Reindeer

Grandma Kathy brought Wills these too cute antlers.

Could she be any cuter?

I don't think so!  She sure doesn't like it when I put her hair in pig tails...but I just can't stop myself!

Rock a Bye Baby...or maybe not

Usually Jules just loves her baby dolls...unless, of course, I have the camera rolling.  Please excuse my singing :)

Daddy's Birthday

 Our Julie Belle sure does love her daddy...

As usual, Tim requested a cake with caramel icing...and as usual, it tasted much better than it looked.

Finally, after a lot of tries...
