Ringling Bro.and Barnum & Bailey Circus

We had so much fun at our annual trip

to the circus! This is our 3rd year to go

and we all enjoy it SO much!!

The boys posing with a clown...

I promise Austin was having fun too...some of
his expressions are so funny!


The elephants are for sure my favorite part!





So much fun!

Such a great circus....we look forward to it every year!

Christmas morning was so much fun this year!

The boys are at such fun ages for all the "magic

of Christmas! They must have been good boys

this year, because Santa was good to them!

Aden with his castle, knights, horses, and dragons!

Austin trying to figure out his talking tools!

The boys have so much fun together....
I think they could have played for hours!

Austin was absolutley AMAZED that Santa

really ate the cookies and drank the milk that he

left for him! All morning, he kept walking over to

the plate and saying "Santa?" ....Precious!

Daddy getting it all on video!!

Christmas Eve...

On Christmas Eve the boys open their presents from

mommy and daddy....so we're ready for Santa on

Christmas morning!

Our tradition of Daddy reading "Twas the Night

Before Christmas" before bedtime!

Cookies and milk for Santa!

This Christmas stuff is great!

Aden with his dragons...

ICE

We took the boys to ICE this year! It was

the last year for the Grinch theme!

My brother, Wes and his fiance', Megan

came too! It was freezing, but SO much fun!

We were told it was 6 degrees in there with

millions of pounds of ice...guess you wouldn't expect

it to be too warm!

We love the Grinch!!

Brrr....

Aden and Uncle Wes...

Aden, red cheeks and all!

Christmas program/ Santa

Aden's Christmas program at Little School was

great! The 4 year old class sang "Rockin around the

Christmas Tree" and "Holly Jolly Christmas".

The boys with Santa after the program.

Aden tells Santa what he wants him to bring...

Austin's still not sure about this whole thing!
