But, the Holidays were wonderful. The boys were great. I know, I am painting a truly captivating picture of what our Holidays were like. Let’s just say this – I feel very blessed, very loved, very bloated, and very tired of vacuuming.
Here are some photos to detail some of the chaos.
We made our trek to Jasper for Thanksgiving to visit Baba and Rob, Aunt Jeanie, and Uncle Robby. Baba had her house decorated for Christmas, so that made the boys very excited. And, they got to enjoy special treats like hot chocolate with Halloween shaped marshmallows (yeah, not sure about that, but whatevs). Abe's favorite thing was the carousel he was sitting next to.
Sam, of course, liked everything that was expensive and breakable. But, he did love all things "Tanta" (Santa) and a musical piano playing Snowman that sang very loudly and repetitively. It did not annoy ANYONE!
Here's a good shot of Baba and Rob and the boys.
The Christmas Card photo shoot did not go as I originally planned, but I was able to get some good shots of them in their element, if you will. And, yes, their element includes pjs covered in that mornings breakfast but whatever. Jake was very upset with me that I did not include Ozzie in the card, so I will formally apologize for that on this platform. Ozzie does indeed wish you all a very Merry Christmas.
Christmas was wonderfully chaotic -- heavy on the wonderful and light on the chaos -- which is good for everyone's sanity. Below are two of Abe's favorite presents -- His Greg Wiggles shirt (the yellow Wiggle and his FAVORITE Wiggle) and a Mario doll. At Christmas, he asked everyone to not call him Abe, but call him Greg for the remainder of the day. And you know, he did not take of that shirt for 3 days.
Baba found Uncle Robby's Mario doll from when he was a kid, and Uncle Robby gave it to Abe. He really enjoyed it, even though Mario didn't have a hat. I mean, it was awesome, even though he didn't have a hat. I mean, he liked it, even though he doesn't have his hat. (Are you catching my drift. He was a little fixated on the fact that he didn't have a hat. Sweet, sweet, anal child.)
And, of course, here is a nice photo of my children in their "element" -- awesome smiles all around, and a snotty nose. Perfect! But, I sure do love them.

It was a crazy busy time! But I wouldn't change it for the world. Loved every chaotic second.
