let the holidays begin!

i really enjoyed the holiday season this year!

a few weekends ago, we went to main street in grapevine to check out the holiday decor.

this is what happens when you try to get a 3 year old to pose for a pic with his brother!

(yes, that is max running away in the background)

we celebrate jesus' birthday with my moms family on the sunday before christmas.

here's the boys and their aunts working hard on gingerbread houses!

loved gra's little outfit!

then it was christmas eve eve and time for our family of 4's christmas. we tried to let max join us for the slumber party in the living room but when he was still up jumping on the couch at 11:15 we had to send him off to bed.....he woke up to a yummy family of snowman pancakes.

max loved helping gra open his gifts

and gra loved eating the green "grass" from one of his presents

the big boy on his bike!

then it was off to my moms for christmas eve hoopla and christmas morning.

joey and max making their 'man' faces

i wasn't good about taking pics the rest of the day, but we opened presents with my dad and stepmom and also with joey's parents. all in all a fun, crazy day!

then a few days after christmas, we headed out to dallas to see the trains at northpark with joey's family. max really liked them and gra got a good nap while we looked around so all in all not a bad 1st time to see the trains.

hope everyone had has happy of a holiday as we did!
