Merry Christmas!!!

 Grandma Hart brought these cute treats for the boys!
The boys fooling around at 5 Guys.  Drew is attempting to hide his lunch under those napkins and acting all coy about it.
Apparently we have a little work to do with explaining the differences between Halloween & Christmas!  LOL
I'm loving this "Auto Awesome" feature on Google now where they animate your pics for you!  You can see just how hard it was with them moving like maniacs to get that picture now!
 Another "Auto Awesome" pic where they animated the lights...very cool!  All set up and good night!
 It looks like Santa came even after all the threats!
Ready...Set...GO!
 Yet another garbage truck...how did Santa know?!
 Santa's big gift was this Thomas The Train table.
The first of many times Drew knocked over the marble run!
 Overcome by Christmas joy!
Drew's favorite gift from Santa...his very own lightsaber!
One of my favorite gifts!
Drew having fun with his new robot.
Jack checking out the new marble run...awesome!  I think this was rebuild #4 or 5 at this point!
I don't know where this modeling pose came from?!

 Then...on the 27th Auntie Donna arrived with more loot from her, Autie Hope & cousin Gabe!
This was cool, they each got a piece of Thomas the Train track engraved with their name.
 GI Joe Stormshadow!
That's Drew playing with Jack's new costume.
Jack got a hold of Dan's glasses and turned into a "teacher", it was pretty funny.

We went to the drive through park to see Christmas lights and then checked out the gift shop to see the new Thomas the Train display.
A nice photo opp with Auntie Donna
And this is what it took to get that one good one!  LOL
We hope everyone had a Merry Christmas and wish you all a Very Happy New Year!

Holiday Vacation

We have had the last 2 weeks off and we've been really busy and really lazy!  Grandma Hart came to visit for Christmas and Auntie Donna came right after.  We've been on our own since New Year's and are trying to clean up and catch up!  As I'm updating the blog, here are some random shots over the last few weeks.  Also, I've been posting some pics on instagram so you can follow if you like, my screen name is amyrpickering.
This year was Drew's turn to put the star on the Christmas tree!
Watching movies on Christmas vacation is the BEST!
Jack has been doing a lot of snuggling with Dolly lately.
When I asked Jack why Dolly was covered in tissues he told me it looked like she had a runny nose.
Sneaking a quick "selfie" with Drew is not easy!
Playing with girls accessories in Kohl's.
One morning it sounded like there was a wrecking crew in the kitchen and when I came down this is what I found.  Drew was inching the chair across the floor to get to the fridge and was so proud yelling "I dot my duce"!
MORE movies!!!
 We got a lot of snow just in time for Christmas!
So pretty!!!
