The boys enjoyed picking out and decorating the Christmas tree this year.
The comment after we got home with the tree was " Can we run around
in the trees again next year?" Matthew wasn't sure what to
make of having a large tree in the house, but he soon discovered
that it made a great hiding place. Gavin was distressed over
the fact that we hadn't put any presents under the tree yet.
We tried to explain that Matt would open them if we put them under
it. Wes came up with the solution of putting the presents over
the tree.
A big thank you to Aunt Beth for letting us use your Xbox while
ours is broken. The boys have enjoyed being able to play games
again after a 2 1/2 month forced break. But I must say that
I'm glad that I don't come home to this every day.
Matthew has discovered the world of coloring. His latest
canvas has been himself. Must be trying to look more like Dad.
The shirt was a loss.
For Pack night this month they had a special visitor to hand out
awards and treats. Everyone enjoyed the visit with the
exception of Matthew and a few of his friends.

Sugar cookies is something the boys look forward to every year.
They are getting much better at cutting them out without help.
Matthew even got into the action this year with his first cookies.
Decorating with frosting is still the best part.... lots of
snitching

The boys enjoyed the final few days before Christmas year.
They enjoyed sledding in the 10 inches of snow we got, as well as
spending time playing with family.

Checking out what was left by Santa
The boys got new hats. Hopefully Matthew will grow into his.
