Happy Birthday, Bunster

Ben informed us on Sunday night as he was going to sleep that the following day was Bunster's 4th birthday. For those of you that don't know Bunster, he is Ben's beloved bunny. He made sure to relay from Bunster that the bunny really wanted a cupcake to celebrate. So... it's 10:00pm on a Sunday night and Jeff and I finally get a sick Brody to bed and are trying to come up with some way of decorating so that when Bunster wakes on his birthday, he gets excited. Great plan, we thought, let's go with it.

 

So... a roll of streamers and some impromptu decorations later, we were all set for the big day. Ben and Bunter woke up, we sang, he opened a birthday present and then blew the candle out and made a wish. If this doens't go down in the "going the extra mile to put a smile on your kid's face" hall of fame, then I don't know what does.

 

Happy 4th Birthday to Bunster!

 

Hot Chocolate

We aren't really sure why but Ben has been obsessed with hot chocolate recently. Not that he has had it before but obsessed none-the-less. So, 'tis the season yadda yadda yadda we made hot chocolate this past Sunday. Marshmallow and all. Now for those of you that don't have active, hyper little boys, you won't appreciate this but we were strategic in our timing on the hot chocolate. WELL before bed time because chocolate and sleep don't go hand in hand for 3 year old boys. In fact, hot chocolate was his afternoon snack... he loved it, of course. We may have created a monster with this one...

 

Family Pictures

We did family pictures a month or so ago and happened upon the prettiest sunset. We got some great pics but this is definitely my fav...

 

Brotherly Love

Ben and Brody are starting to get along pretty well. Ben used to pretend Brody didn't exist but now that Ben can make Brody laugh, Ben is pretty into it... sometimes. We got the boys matching PJs and as you can see, Brody is totally digging his big brother. He is always staring at Ben and smiling at him and laughing at his funny sounds. I have a feeling these little boys will grow to be besties.

 

Brody is 5 months old today!

Today is Brody's 5 month birthday and what a 5 months it has been! This little guy is probably the 'smile-iest' most 'giggle-iest' baby in the world. He is very happy and VERY active, we can definitely tell this guy will keep us on our toes once he is mobile. He is rolling over, no problem, these days and the scary thing is that he is trying to crawl when he is on his tummy. He isn't getting too far but a mobile-Brody scares us a bit... in a good way, but still scary.

 

Happy 5 months, Brod-ster!

 

Santa Santa Santa

Brod-ster and I were doing some last minute holiday shopping and ran into Gommie at the mall. The following picture is what happened next... We weren't too fond of this Santa, seemed a little self-medicated, if you catch my drift. Hence, Santa in the background far from the baby...

 

Merry Christmas Eve!
