New Year's Eve

We didn't have anything planned this year for New Year's Eve.  I had originally thought of visiting Andre at rehab and doing something with the boys there, but since he was still in the hospital, I had to scratch that idea.  I just took the boys to the park--it was super cold.  I had bought some glow in the dark things and some sparklers.  That was our celebration!  We put Nolan to bed at the normal time and then Elliot and I watched a few fireworks here and there between 6 and 8 pm! Both boys slept through the midnight fireworks.  Yeah! 

 

After Christmas

 

Wearing Mommy's hat!

Christmas

We were thankful to be able to pick Papi up from the hospital on Dec 24.  We had about 2 days with him before he had to go back to the hospital (that is another post)!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Nolan's Music Class

These pictures and videos were taken shortly before Christmas.  Nolan really enjoys his music class!

 

 

 

18 months old!

Just can't resist this face!!!  And how do I pick just one picture????  18 months old.  Hard to believe.

 

Third Week of December

Elliot made a nut castanet in his music class.  I forgot my camera, of course...  I think his little instrument turned out pretty good!

 

 



When Nolan discovers Elliot sleeping in our bed after nap time, he just loves waking Elliot up!  He hugs him and tries to lay on him--just get as close to him as possible.  Make my heart melt!

 

Giving sleeping Elliot a hug.

Now Nolan is starting to crawl all over Elliot and Mommy has to rescue Elliot from getting smothered and squished.  Elliot is only about 7 pounds heavier.

 

 

 

Our Christmas Tree

I decided to try and do something with the boys so that it was pretty and Christmas-y when Andre came home.  We went and bought a Christmas tree.  Elliot was sooooo excited!  He could not wait to decorate it.  We had to do it the minute we got in the door.  Well, almost!  We ate lunch, put Nolan to bed and then decorated.

Our pretty stockings...still have to get something to go in them!
