Asleep At The Wheel

Christmas Day was just too much for Colton. Big brother had already announced at supper that he was too tired to eat and was taken to bed. Shortly afterward Colton began nodding off as well. Unwrapping presents all day can really tucker a guy out.

Naughty Elf

Our Elf-On-A-Shelf, Sir Ken, was up to no good the other night. Playing tricks on the boys while they slept.

And To All A Good-Night

Hot Chocolate and Peppermint

After The Eggnog Experiment, Danielle decided to make the kids some homemade hot chocolate. Ridge liked this much better than eggnog. No drama this time, though he did complain that it had too much whipped cream on top. Did I mention the kid is high maintenance?

Colton, on the other hand, could care less about the hot chocolate. He was more interested in the peppermint sticks Danielle used as garnishes.

Eggnog: Mixed Reviews

I realized the other day that I have yet to indulge in any holiday eggnog. I'm an eggnog junkie. I can drink the stuff by the gallon. So on the way home from church last Sunday, we stopped by Whole Foods and we ran in a picked up a bottle.

At home it dawned on me that I'd never given eggnog to either of the boys. The reactions were mixed. Colton absolutely LOVED the stuff. Couldn't get enough.

Ridge? Not so much. Seeing his reaction after taking one sip, you would have thought I spiked the stuff with lighter fluid.

We're thinking of changing his name from Ridge to Johnny Drama.

My Boys

The new job is really keeping me hopping. I was in The Big D (Dallas, Texas) for six days on a photoshoot. As soon as I stepped off the plane, Friday night back in Greenville, I received a phone call informing me that I was going to have to work through the weekend as well on a big new business pitch. Needless to say when I walked through the door Sunday evening, with all of my work finished, my boys were extremely excited to finally have their Daddy home to play.

Wrestling a four and two year old can really wear a guy out. But I love every minute. These are the times where I wish I could just hit the PAUSE button and keep my boys this age forever.
