Silly amounts of Christmas Pictures

Noah n Jo decorating Christmas cookies...the start of our holiday extravaganza! The next day we headed to Wichita for Christmas with the Diekers the weekend before the actual holiday
Here is an unflattering picture of Noah in reindeer antlers :)
Noah had a great time stacking up all of his presents
Calvin in his adorable hat with Aunt Courtney
Noah showing Calvin his new train pjs
Fixated on Calvin's pj's
As soon as we got the wrapping paper off the box Noah said "Steamer's inside." How did he know? The box is pretty plain, no pictures or anything...Steamer was inside. Can he read? Lol
Noah playing with Steamer
Adorable!!!!
Calvin is seriously CUTE!!!!
Noah helped pass out the presents, this one was heavy, so it got pushed
He's really digging down in that stocking! He wanted his Mix!
Playing with Calvin's new ball popper train...Noah seems to be having a lot of fun with all Calvin's presents, too. Look at my terrible posture!
Noah and I at Union (onion) Station on Christmas Eve eve
Noah and Daddy spread out reindeer food in the yard so they could find our house on Christmas Eve Eve. We did our family of four Christmas a day early.
Noah kept telling us that Santa was going to bring him a red present with a green tie (bow), and look, he did!
Santa brought Calvin a little kitchen, he seemed sort of interested, lol...he did LOVE the spatula!
Me n my boys (I SERIOUSLY need to work on my posture!)
Calvin going to town on his spatula
Noah spent most of Christmas Eve morning like this...Santa did good!

We were planning on spending Christmas Eve at our house all day, but the weather had different plans. We set out for Jo and Pops' house just in time. By the time we got there it was sleeting and then the snow began...
Calvin and Jo
The adorable Carter, I love this picture!

He loved his new hat and mittens
Look a those beautiful blue eyes! Noah really enjoyed playing in the snow. He lasted a lot longer out there than we thought he would!
Waving with Daddy
Look at those lashes!
Here is another huge drift at Jo and Pops'. We finally loaded the kids up on Sunday morning and headed back home...we were afraid of what we would find, and there was TONS of snow! Poor Ryan got to work right away shoveling off the driveway. He's a good man, that Ryan Dieker.

The end!

Some Pictures of the Last Few Weeks

Here is our playgroup at Union Station watching the trains, it was a big hit!

Here we are indoctrinating the boys...they must love "Twas the Night Before Christmas." Thanks Uncle James!

Noah waiting to see Santa!
The train going around while waiting to see Santa...Noah wanted that for Christmas...sorry Charlie
He didn't cry!!!

Here is my adorable nephew who just turned 1! Way to go big guy!
This is maybe my favorite picture of Noah and Calvin together, lol. It just perfectly captures their interaction. Noah wanted up in Cal's crib, so we put him in there with Calvin...everything was going fine until Cal accidentally touched Noah. Calvin is completely oblivious to the drama (because he's not quite 4 months!) and Noah was saying 'He's touching me, he's touching me!"

This is Noah being "froggy-boy" after his bath one night. Isn't he adorable?


Calvin is getting quite good a sitting in the Bumbo...and still always has his little fist in his mouth :)
