Christmas through the years...

Feeling all nostalgic today... so here are pictures of the kiddos at Christmastime through the years.

1st Christmas... Nicholas is almost 1!








2nd Christmas... Nicholas is nearly 2! Favorite memory: you whispered "presents... Santa" in bed every night! You loved Christmas trees... pointed them out everywhere... said "more lights" all the time! You played your piano-playing snowman and went CRAZY - dancing, running around the room while Jingle Bell Rock Played. You asked for more presents, even when Christmas was over. The night before your birthday (January 3) we tried to explain what your birthday was... you looked at us and said, "Santa Open Presents?" You were SO EXCITED to leave milk & cookies for Santa - we left it in the fridge to keep it fresh & had to check in the morning!



3rd Christmas... almost 3! You are telling crazy stories now... a memorable one is that you saw a princess who had a magic sword - then she had a bubble (she was floating on it) and it popped - then it came to you - the princess cried and you cried. (Odd story)
We also just told you about the new baby... "I LOVE BABIES" you say! Here are your names for the new baby: Curious George, Trash Truck, Trash, Tyrone, and Ashley (pronounced Ash - a - ley).






Nicholas' 4th Christmas (almost 4) and Matthew's 1st Christmas (6 months)
Now you know your birthday is nine days after Christmas, so December is full of birthday talk too! You started reading...
Our big news this year is your BROTHER - it is still exciting for you - you LOVE it when he smiles at you and you help out all the time. Matthew is a bundle of love!!!
Our favorite Nicholas joke:
Nicholas: What is a pirate's favorite letter?
Mom: "R"!!!!!
Nicholas: No, that's not it. My favorite pirate letter is "E"! (this letter changed frequently!)


Nicholas' 5th Christmas (almost 5!!!!) and Matthew's 2nd Christmas (18 months)
We have yet to see what wonderful memories you boys will create this year, but I have no doubt it will be memorable...
