We have been having so much fun enjoying this holiday season. Our advent calendar is in full effect and this year we have tried to incorporate some experiences into it rather than just a toy or candy. This has been a challenge because Henry lacks patience but as the days go on he is getting into it a bit more. We have gone and looked at lights, made Christmas cookies, went on a shopping trip to buy Reese a present, etc! Believe me we have had our fair share of hot cocoa and treats too, baby steps!! It has been great and as they get older I would like to make it more about helping others and doing holiday activities...one day I hope.
Thought I would catch you up in pictures because my time is limited now that Reese is on the move and into everything.
Went on a play date with our friends the Faw's. The boys are so funny together!
Reese and Waverly hanging out!
We went to a Santa's breakfast with the Hubert family. We met halfway at the Mcmenamins in Centralia and it was so nice to see them.
The whole gang. Funny how the 9 month old is the only one looking at the camera.
Can you tell which two kids were bothering Santa the most at the breakfast. This was after each of them had time with Santa. They stood there and harassed him for a good while.
The littles, they love each other and it shows!
The bigs, they are trouble and it shows!!! It was sweet to see them together again and they both have grown up so much!
we picked up this snowman, who Henry named Jackine, in Centralia at a consignment shop. He now lives in our front yard.
The Birkholz men hanging lights. Bill says it looks a lot more fun in the picture than it was.
Most days around 4pm we get a bit stir crazy and have the 4 o'clock rock block. Here below is our party in full effect.
We also play band
and in general we just hang out and wait for Bill to get home. By the way Reese thinks everything Henry does is funny.
