So the last couple of weeks we have been so busy. Asher and Max both had birthdays and all of the fun that comes along with them. We have also been doing all of the normal Christmas preparations. We will actually be in Florida for Christmas and the following week, but we still had a lot of fun decorating and taking advantage of all of the events around Waco.
These first few date back to Thanksgiving. Papa spent a few days here with us, and on Thanksgiving day we were joined by Jason, Natalie and Cash. We never seem to get pictures on Thanksgiving… I think its because before we eat we are too busy getting everything ready and after we eat we are just too full and lazy to try and pose. Haha! Curtis and Jason took the kids down to the creek behind the house, and Curt took these few pics. Max and Cash waded right into the water.
Asher loves to hang out on the edge and throw in rocks. And then throw in rocks. Followed by throwing in some rocks.
Decorating the little tree. Asher puts the star on top.
Asher decided that he had looked at Grandma and Grandpa's wrapped birthday gift long enough! We let him open it a couple of days early.
This was his last picture as a 1 year old.
Max got some good creek wading boots and some new stomp rockets from Grandma and Grandpa. All have been put to good use.
Decorating the real tree. Asher points at it and says "Buful Tee" which translates into beautiful tree.
Waco Wonderland! The boys colored pictures while we waited to see Santa
And here's the big man himself. Asher's nervous pose is to stick out his tongue. This was the only one that it wasn't completely obvious. Max asked for a light saber… I wonder if Santa will remember?
Asher and I wandered while daddy and Max stood in line for the ferris wheel. Asher had his nose painted and took a cute picture!
Max loves the ferris wheel!
The carousel was new this year so Asher had something to ride as well. Max called the rooster and Asher was more than happy to ride the "Neeeigh"
On our way for a birthday party! Asher was crying part of the way… I think he was confused because he had just woken up from his nap. It didn't take long for him to get with the birthday program.
The bitty birthday boy wanted me to jump in the foam pit with him. I obliged! It was actually quite nice until I had to crawl out. Haha!
Max in his #6 shirt. Couldn't get Asher to cooperate at this time.
This was the best I could do in getting the two of them in one picture. #2 and #6!
Daddy jumping with Asher.
They were some very happy, hot, sweaty and tired boys!
They both blew out their candles!
Birthday crew minus two. We had DJ, Caden, Grace Ann, Luca, Eli, Jack, Adi and Oliver to help us celebrate. Some friend from church, Luke and Eric, were also there, but stuck in the foam pit!
Max's celebration of life! He held a representation of the earth and walked six circles around the sun.
Best buddies! Eli Clark was not able to come to the birthday party so I made sure to get his picture with Max at the celebration.
Blowing out his candles.
He had to lay out all of the months in a circle around the sun.
Asher loves all of the farm animals he received for his birthday.
And a couple of days after turning 6, Max lost tooth #3. He has three more wiggly ones that will be following pretty soon.
