Christmas Eve

We pulled out the hot wheels and track on Christmas Eve. P3 really enjoyed playing with the cars.

We had dinner with my family on Christmas Eve. After dinner we sang some songs, and P1 wanted to act out the Nativity. So we did an impromptu Nativity. P1 wanted to be baby Jesus and he wasn't happy when I made P3 baby Jesus.

We decorated some gingerbread men:

Grandpa got a bunch of little cars that we raced:

Grandpa did the traditional reading of 'Twas the Night Before Christmas. When we were getting ready to go home, P1 had a panic attack because he never finished his letter to Santa. So we let the kids write a quick letter to Santa and left it by the cookies we set out for him.

P3 loves to sit on his Christmas present from Grandma and Grandpa. He'll even pose on it. So of course, the big kids had to photo bomb it.

 

Ward Christmas Breakfast:

P3 also loves to have tea parties, with or without his sister:

We made Christmas Crinkle cookies from a recipe in The Friend. We just happened to have a box of red velvet cake (which we never buy) because we won it at a Christmas party.

 

P2 and her friend tried on some make-up during a play date:

I had a work meeting and brought P2 and P3 along. They were good sports, and pretty adorable:

15 Months

P3 is 15 months now. He actually did great at the doctors this time. Except for the shots at the end, but nobody likes those. He is healthy and happy, and still growing! He sleeps well but is a picky eater. He has 12 teeth (4 molars) and counting (incisors are coming up now).  He has had 2 haircuts by me. He loves bath time. He is a sweet kid, and constantly melting our hearts.

15 Month Stats: 

Weight: 20 lbs 6 oz (16th percentile)

Length: 30.5 in (26th percentile)

Grandma and grandpa sent P3 a present, and he loves to pull it out and sit on it!

P3 will eat something one day, and then refuse it the next day. He loves applesauce, Club crackers, and all treats. He can sense whenever you have a treat, even if he is in another room.

He like to play with P2's dolls and brush their hair. 

 

P3 and his sweet friend. They are adorable together.

Found his box again!
