Wordless Wednesday- 1st Christmas Past & Present

 

Christmas Day

On Christmas morning, Connor was up at 630AM.

At 730AM, Evan still wasn't up yet and I couldn't wait any longer...so I woke him up!

Evan couldn't wait to see if Santa ate his cookie and drank the milk.

 Here is Evan checking out the gifts. He kept saying "Oh my!"

 Connor wasn't into the whole unwrapping gift thing, but that's what big brothers are for :)

 Connor's First Christmas!



Christmas Eve: Before & After Santa Arrived

Cookie Decorating with Evan

On Thursday,  I finally decided it was our last chance to make some Christmas cookies.

So, I did the baking and frosting and Evan did the decorating.

As you can see Evan takes his job very seriously.

There was alot of finger licking going on and for some reason we ran out of M&Ms to put on the cookies because someone (Evan) was eating most of them.

Yummy!



Wordless Wednesday- "This Year's Hottest Toy"



Martha Stewart Wannabe?

This last week was quite a "crafty" one at the Moulton Home.

Evan and I worked on making some Christmas gifts for family. I can't show pictures or talk more about those though because they are gifts :)

I actually found some time to work on a little project for Evan's Room.

I have slowly been trying to change Evan's room theme from Dinosaurs to Cars, Trucks and Hairplanes (as he likes to call them).

So for under $3 total, I made the 2 frames below.

I painted wooden frames green, added scrapbooking paper with road signs to it. Then finished by adding an already painted dump truck and train to the center.

Evan loved them and he told me, "Mommy, good job"... I was pretty proud of myself!

We had a few Christmas parties to attend too. I was in the mood to try to make something different.

I have always wanted to make chocolate covered pretzel rods...so that's what I did.

So yummy and so easy!!

The hardest part was keeping Daddy and Evan out of the kitchen :)

Go "Elf" Yourself

Not having a good day?

Then go "elf" yourself! :)

The Moulton Family "Elf"ed

Oh What Fun It Is To...

get family pictures taken!

Ummm....not really, but it defiantly was a memorable experience.

Last Sunday, we put on our "Sunday Best" and went to JCPenny's. The boys were both in good moods and I was having a good hair day...so I had high hopes.

 I was wrong.

Evan wouldn't stay in one spot and after a few different poses Connor had enough as well.

I don't think that they came out bad, but we will try harder next year :)

Here are a few for your viewing pleasure...



Wordless Wednesday- Our Christmas Tree



Easy Christmas Shopping for Evan...

Mommy: "Evan, what do you want Santa to bring you for Christmas?"

Evan: "Cars"

Mommy: "All you want is cars?"

Evan: "and some cookies"

An Early Christmas Gift...

A few days ago I received an early Christmas gift from Aunt Michelle.

It is a necklace that has both of the boys names engraved on it. I have been wanting it since I had Connor, but figured that it wasn't something that I had to have.

But, thanks to Aunt Michelle I have it!

Thanks Michelle!

 I love you and miss you!

*Dave is actually a little jealous that his name isn't on it too :)
