We've landed!

We're hanging out at baggage claim waiting for our luggage and Callum sees an ad sign nearby that he's "going to go try and play." 😂😂

On our way to Texas!

We just barely got Logan's new hoop up last night, in time for a few practice shots, before heading out on our New Years trip today.

The last shot is of the boys waiting in line to board. Logan wanted me to send it to Papa and Mimi, to let them know we're on our way, and that he has gingersnap cookies packed.

No promises we'll have any left by the time we land tho. ;-)

Another lost tooth!

The reason why I just posted the previous lost tooth story (or, in this case, two teeth!) was because Logan lost *another* tooth this morning, which made me remember about the two they lost on Christmas Day.

Man!! Craziness!! We have teeth coming out everywhere!

I tried to capture a pic but it's one of the back teeth, so it's hard to get a picture of that one to begin with. And then add on the fact that Logan is a wiggly impatient butt who definitely doesn't like me taking pics of him anymore.....

And, well, this is as good as it's going to get.

All I want for Christmas is my two front teeth....

I forgot to post this on Christmas!!

Logan woke up Christmas morning, yawned (or something), and suddenly found his tongue had pushed out one of his front loose teeth. :)

Then, later that evening, as we were talking about the tooth fairy making a visit (and how cool was it that it was also on Christmas!), I noticed Callum twisting and wiggling an already loose tooth of his own.... I turned around a few seconds later and he was holding out a tooth in his hand! We laughed that he decided to pull out his tooth to be like his brother, when he normally doesn't want us to even touch them. Competitive much?! ;-)

At bedtime, the boys then daydreamed about what exactly the tooth fairy might leave. Callum was hoping the tooth fairy would leave one of his favorite toys that he didn't end up getting from Santa. I told him I didn't think the tooth fairy would leave toys, like Santa does, but he could use the money left behind to buy something he'd like. So then Logan chimed in, saying maybe they'd get extra money since it was Christmas. I said that might be possible - especially since they also both lost a tooth on the same day!

The boys were very pleased, the next morning, to find an enormous $5 (Wow! That tooth fairy must've been feeling pretty generous!) left behind. We visited the toy store later that morning, since they wanted to spend it on something special and had saved up some of their recent allowance and cash gifts from birthdays and such. They were pretty darn pleased with themselves. :)

Callum's question of the day

C: Mom, what would you want more - a taco, or a waffle?

Me: Hmmm, that's a toughie. I guess I'd like a taco more.

C: What?!? You're crazy! I'd want a waffle (as he takes another bite out of his waffle snack). 😂😂

Games, games and more games

Lots of Twister, Dominoes and Spin Art this Christmas 🎨 Soon to be followed by some seriously competitive Scrabble and Star Wars Monopoly. ✨👍🏼

Merry Christmas Everyone!! 🎁🎄☃

Eve of Christmas Eve

I put together these little Christmas Eve packages, since I wanted to start a little tradition for our family each year. The packages have a set of pajamas for each of the boys, plus a bunch of snacks (popcorn, candy, hot chocolate) paired with a movie, that we can then all snuggle and watch together for Christmas Eve! (We're going to my parent's house tomorrow night so we did this tonight instead). :)

I tried to get a few funny pics of the boys in their new PJs, with these holiday signs I grabbed on a whim one day....but Logan was NOT having any of it. I guess we've finally reached the age where he's getting too old to turn on any charm for the camera?!! ;-)

Anyway, here's what I caught.....
