I love the month of December....

Boy do I love the month of December! Santa's helper (Elf on the Shelf) moves each night to "watch" over Stephen and Ryder.  Stephen was in trouble the other night and he turned and looked at me and said "does that mean I am bad.. and on the naughty list"?  So adorable!!!!!  Ryder is so stinkin cute and loves to watch his brother.  Ryder had his first boo-boo- he was on the floor and Amanda was playing with him and thought he could sit all by himself--- boom and down he went.... hit his head right on a toy- cried a little but didnt even shed a tear-What a tough guy!!! Today is December 1st-- Stephen will start his advent calendar for the count down to the big day! He will have to open Ryder's this year too- I am sure he won't mind. Stephen is in a catholic preschool.... and it is great because Christmas is spoken about! He comes home singing  Christmas carols... so cute. He says "mom, you know the one that starts like.... dashing through the snow.....". Love it!  Ryder is still lucky as ever and goes to see his Grammy everyday.  Steve and I are so very thankful for her and watching Ryder each day! He loves it and I bet she is enjoying it too!!!
