Dec 3- Dec 9 (Days 337-343)

December 3

(Day 337)

On this day Jasper was taking a bath in marshmallows :)

December 4

(Day 338)

Aidan found Jasper hanging out in the nativity set, holding baby Jesus.

(and the thumbs are out again :)

December 5

(Day 339)

Jasper made a snowman shape out of some of Aidan's hot wheels. 

Friday night was our Christmas party, the boys stayed at home with a baby sitter and Trent and I had a great time at the party. It was the first time for us to leave both the boys with someone besides family and it went great!

December 6

(Day 340)

Saturday morning, we were all up bright and early! We found that Jasper had hidden 12 candy canes and wanted the boys (Aidan) to find them and put them on the tree.

Ace tends to follow big brother around and wants to play/chew on his toys. It tends to drive Aidan a little crazy. That's life with a little brother who is mobile :)

We kept on with our tradition of opening up a Christmas book and reading one each night leading up to Christmas. 

Ace was excited to help open the present :)

That night we went to our church's Christmas program. Ace did okay for the first 10 minutes, then we had to bring out the snacks. It was a great program, at least what we could pay attention to was ;)

December 7

(Day 341)

Sunday morning we found Jasper hiding in the vase on our dining room table. (forgot to get a picture)

Then we headed to church.

After church we came home and had lunch, then got ready to go get our pictures taken for Ace's birthday/Christmas.

After our pictures we had dinner at a local barbecue place.

December 8

(Day 342)

Monday morning, Aidan found Jasper and saw his little note that he wrote.

Next to Jasper on the whiteboard it says "Elves Rock!":)

We had got some balloons for pictures on Sunday and Ace was all about them!

December 9

(Day 343)

Tuesday morning we found Jasper in the Christmas tree. 

He must have fallen over during the night :/

Ace LOVES to get big brothers cups and drink out of them.

I think he thinks that he is getting away with something when he drinks out of them. 

Tuesday afternoon we went over to "other Aidan's" house to play.

The boys took this picture of themselves. :)
