December in Texas!

Spencer is becoming quite the builder. He builds things out of his imagination all the time. He had some help from Brant for this beauty, though. 

Spencer also loves to take pictures. This one is pretty good for a 5 year old. 

There's a grocery store in Texas called HEB (Literally stands for Here Everything's Better). It's our favorite grocery store and we happen to know the general manager which meant we got a VIP tour complete with dinner and an HEBuddy visit! You can tell Spence is excited since he usually doesn't run up and hug giant grocery bags. 

We've had some sick days this month which meant lots of cuddles. Spencer had a stomach bug and is still super paranoid about throwing up. Almost every day he asks me if he's going to throw up again. Poor little guy. Gav was being a pirate here with his telescope. 

For some reason Spencer enjoys giving other people shots, but definitely does not like getting them. He and Gavin got their flu shots a little while ago and he was not a happy camper. 

Here's this year's gingerbread house along with 3 silly boys!

We had the Olsons and Thurgoods over for Christmas Eve dinner. This is the only picture I took (why do I not think to take a picture until after everything's over?), but I'm glad it shows Spencer's and Tucker's matching shirts and they are enjoying their pie and ice cream. 

On Christmas Eve we have a tradition of opening up a new game and playing it together. Gator Golf was a huge hit! 

The best (and cutest!) Christmas present ever! 

I love watching everyone open presents on Christmas morning! 

Gavin's new scooter from Grandpa Rich and Grandma Pam. 

All of the boys' presents. There were lots of cars!

Baby Tyler's presents. He was obviously ecstatic. 

Spencer got right to work building his new Captain America legos and Gavin's Batman legos. 

We had a great Christmas and are grateful for our little family! Here's a picture of Gavin doing some 'tummy time' with Tyler. Whenever I put Tyler on his tummy Gavin wants to show me that he can do it too. :)
