fun with uncle chaddie and auntie darcie!

we had such a great christmas. on christmas eve we went to ryan's grandma's and had the niesen family christmas; then on christmas morning we had our little family christmas. it was funny to think back to last year when preston was only three months old and slept through most of the festivities. he really got into it this year. he was all practiced up with the gift opening from his birthday and was ready to dive right in. then christmas afternoon everyone from the white side came over to our house. it was wonderful. darin had to work but it was slow enough that he was able to join us for a good chunk of time. :) then auntie darcie and uncle chaddie spent the night. the boys loved having that extra quality time with them. i know i'll be hearing alot about them for a long time now! tonight ryan and eagan built a snowman before ryan had to go to work. it was awesome getting outside for a little while. now the boys are putting stickers that nana gave them all over my door...but hey! i get a little quiet time! lol. anyway...tomorrow we head out to lonsdale for the malecha family christmas and i can not wait!!!! so we'll be gone for the weekend hopefully to return with some more pictures for you! :)

check up.

today preston had his 15 month check up. he had to get two shots...which he was very brave for. he is 33 inches (90th percentile) and 24 pounds 6 oz (50th percentile) tall and skiny just like his big brother. it seems like everytime the boys want a glass of warm milk or hot chocolate those cats just come a runnin'! the boys think it's great. :) well i hope everyone has a wonderful Christmas!

jamjams!

since my boys seem to be growing like weeds i needed to go out and get some new jammies for eagan. he picked out these super cool "police jamjams." he was so proud he had to show them off to the camera :) so preston got some "new" jammies too...and his are a bit to big (honestly eagan wore them to bed just the other night) but he was also really excited. don't you just love how preston has his feet crossed?! and he's just a playing away on that piano. i think next fall i will be signing both the boys up for music class. i know they will totally love it. okay! have a good night!

no brother kisses!

sorry that it has been a while since i last posted...we had the flu here and as you can guess i didn't really feel like taking any pictures! but we are all feeling better now! i'm getting really excited for all the christmas baking i'll be starting this weekend, and we are all getting excited to get the whole family together for christmas and then for going to gram's christmas in lonsdale! i just can not wait!! well i'm sure with the busy week coming up you'll get lots of pictures to look at! so check back soon. thanks and have a very merry christmas.
*the picture with eagan and pop, eagan is trying to kiss pop...i think it's funny to see preston's face. (even though the picture didn't turn out the best)

zebra.

we were getting kind of bored being in the house all the time so i dug out the zebra tent and brought in the big wheel and the boys had a blast! eagan thought it was great that he could bike in the house. :)

snow :)

as you can see i had quite the help shoveling this morning!

christmas time.

saturday we got our tree up and the boys love it! as the days have gone by the decorations had started to disappear and this morning i found a stock pile of them in the couch. oddly enough all the ones that are just out of eagan's reach are all still on the tree. lol. the bottom picture is of the boys enjoying some hot chocolate and butters trying to get some too. :)
