"Uncle Matt's" Shoes

Today we had to regrettably replace Will's first pair of "Uncle Matt" shoes.  This is the first time Will ever gave a name to his shoes.  Now every pair he wears, has a title (i.e. soccer shoes, football shoes, church shoes, running shoes).

A great debt of gratitude goes to Uncle Matt for providing Will with such an iconic pair of shoes.

Tea Party

Waited for about 10 minutes before I went looking for Preston to see where he was in the house.  Found him upstairs in Royce's room participating in a tea party for one.  He was really enjoying himself.

On a side note, Preston would also like to thank Grandma B for providing Royce with such a cool gift.

New Year's Day

We spent a nice couple of days in Lancaster with a number of our relatives.  It was alot of fun to see everyone.  We especially enjoyed the opportunity to spend some quality time with Uncle Matt and Aunt Noel and really had fun completing our 1000 piece all day puzzle (finished at some point around 2AM).

Stocking were hung...

Mama has made everyone beautiful stockings full of Christmas memories.  They can stretch to fit almost anything!!  Santa has his work cut out for him.

White Christmas

Baltimore was blessed with 20+ inches of snow 5 days before Christmas.  Can't remember the last time we had snow for Christmas.  Royce and Will loved playing in the snow!  It was a little too cold and too deep for Preston. 

Countdown for Christmas

Nothing like a good visit with Santa to get ready for Christmas.  

Will vs. the coffee table

Needless to say the coffee table won.  A week before Christmas, this should make for some nice photos.  Can't believe this is the 3rd time he has needed stitches.
