Masterpiece Monday

The boys have made so many beautiful Christmas artwork this holidays season, 

but this one of my favorites.

Sully made it at preschool, out of a roll of toilet paper and some straw.  

I'm not sure what's the best part, how proud Sully is of his ornament or 

that he calls it "Baby Cheese-Itz"

Santa Train

Today we went to the NC Transportation Museum 

to ride on the Santa train with the Spencers.

 All Aboard and ready to see Santa!

We met with Santa and Mrs. Claus.  Mrs. Claus told the boys that she knew they were good boys and that their special toys were ready for Christmas!  So exciting!!

They also gave the kiddos candy canes and oranges, yum!

 

 After the train ride, we headed to the round house for Christmas crafts and more trains.

Trains and Christmas, what could be better?

Cookie Playdate

This morning Sully's Playgroup had a cookie decorating party.

These guys definitely ate more frosting and sprinkles than they put on the cookies.

 Sully worked so hard on his crazy cookie....

half way done with it...

 The finished product

See the bite on the bottom?  

That's the only bite he took of the cookie, but he did eat 4 plain cookies!!
