Deserving December {2018}

Random memories from December 2018: 

We started the month visiting our family in NC and wanted to take pictures with Christmas Mickey and Minnie at Wal-mart and give to the Salvation Army.  

These boys love a box.  As our Christmas purchases started coming in (we do most of our shopping on Amazon these days), the boys were very excited every time a new box arrived.  They just wanted to play with the box and didn't care about the contents inside. 

Grayson fell asleep on the couch beside the Christmas tree, and Mattox took his nap inside his newest box using some plastic packing filler as pillows.  He did look pretty comfy in there.  Ha! 

Mr. Grayson has enjoyed 3 years of napping by the Christmas tree.  I hope the tradition continues.  

Mattox loves visiting a local pizza restaurant where he always wants to see the pizza man.  

Grayson loves playing with the candy and toy machines. 

December is often our favorite month to play outside because we finally get some Fall weather that drives the bugs away.  

I just love watching them play.  Being heavily pregnant with their sister, I just pulled up a chair and watched the action. 

Brody enjoyed some fun festivities and games at church. 

I would say that sign definitely described my pregnant brain this month.  I do not know why my youngest boys wanted to take Daddy's belt off.  Haha!

But sitting on the couch drinking hot chocolate by the Christmas tree and watching our favorite Christmas movie made it more enjoyable. 

Putting my tired feet up and hanging out with my favorite boys. 

Mattox and Grayson enjoyed snuggling next to Mommy's big belly.  Evan likes having a couch to himself.  Brody showed me a craft he made at school.  

Mr. Grayson loves sharing his Daddy's milkshake.  I love his beautiful happy face!

Brody and Grayson are definitely look-a-likes at about 2 years old. 

Mattox was happy when our Elf sent some Santa chocolates from the North Pole. 

Grayson was getting some practice for his new baby sister.  He will be the best big brother! 

Stopping to eat breakfast on the way to Mommy's doctor appointment.  They love hanging out with daddy. 

Mr. Grayson can be hard to settle down at bedtime, but once he's out, he is the sweetest thing. 

How beautiful is his little face while coloring?   

Riding bikes outside on a nice Fall day. 

Mattox wants to go fishing. 

Grayson practices safety wearing his bike helmet. 

Checking out the fish at the big tank in Bass Pro. 

The friendship between Mattox and Grayson is so magical to see.  Brody was wearing my mask I got at the doctor because of the bad flu season. 

Apparently my fashion preferences do reflect my eye color.  I thought the meme comparing hieroglyphics to modern emojis was pretty funny.
