Sam's Christmas program

Again, remember Rex's program? Watching these things makes me realize how very different my boys are! Rex likes to be goofy and barely sings the songs when performing. Sam had this sweet look on his face the whole time and happily sang all the words! It was adorable to see and he looked so cute! Of course I left the charged video camera battery in the wall at home... stupid preggo brain. But Mark was able to get much of it on his phone. Now to figure out how to transfer that onto the computer....
Good job Sam! We love you!

Look at that sweet smile!

Singing along!

Santa's knee

We had our ward Christmas brunch the first weekend in December. It was a lot of fun! We have a LOT of kids in our ward. Like 150 or so in Primary alone, not counting nursery. So because of that it is really hard to see Santa at the Christmas party but I knew it may be our only opportunity with the baby coming soon so we were determined to see him. It helped that it wasn't late at night as well. Our only downfall... having a last name that starts with W. They broke it up so half of the alphabet went at a time and of course the first half went first. We ended up standing in line for about an hour!! Luckily my kids were well behaved and happy. Their mom however was over it. :) They are so cute at this age.

Thanksgiving

We drove over for just one day to my moms in Twin Falls for Thanksgiving. My brother and his wife and two kids (one of who we hadn't met yet) were staying the week so we had to drive over and see them! It was a perfect holiday! My mom made the meal (with a little help) and we all caught up. The kids played wonderfully without any fights and Ben and I only got in one tiny spat... that is success I say!!

SNOW!

We have had more snow this year already than we sometimes get all year! We even had a snow day in November for the first time in years. It has been fun, the boys have had a blast playing in it. They usually both will stay out for about an hour and then Sam comes in because he is cold and Rex will literally stay out there ALL day if I let him. I have to make him come inside and get warm. Goofy kid!
Of course in true Boise weather style it has been raining all this week so our snow is now gone. Hopefully we will get more before Christmas!

The first snow fall, trying to make the most of it.





The "big one" that canceled school!! You should of seen our neighborhood, it was a kid party!

Sam's school pictures

We got these awhile ago and now I am playing catch up of course. I think they are so adorable. I love how he is posing. I just went back and looked at Rex's photos from that year to compare. Check them out here. Sam just seems so much littler than Rex was. Maybe because he is still my baby.
He is loving Preschool and loves Miss Cindy. His friend Afton is in his class, as well as another Samuel and boys named Eli and Preston who he talks about frequently.
