Mom's boys

She's so lucky

First snow!

It may only be an inch,

buy we'll take it!!!

We did a lot of digging

and some makeshift sledding

It was really cold,

but we had a blast!

Right up until it wasn't fun anymore...

Testing out our wheels

All these new vehicles need a test drive!

Look out, people!

I need a little practice...

Wes hopped right on his bike and rode away

I needed a bit of help with mine

Oh, this is what dreams are made of!

It will be nice like this all winter,

right?

It's HERE!!!

Oh my G-O-S-H!

Do you think he came???

YES!!!

I got a drone!

Wes got a big kid bike

and Beck got his dinosaur bike and Rudolph the Red-nosed Reindeer

Tucker?

A walker of course!

There were lots of great gifts

And lots of hugs and kisses

And LOTS of smiles!

LOVE my smart watch

And Wes and Beck

had a blast with their chocolate milk mixing cups

But wait!

There's more!

Aunt Mandy, Uncle Kurt,

and Grammy and Grandpa are here!!!

The big hit?

A new Power Wheels for B and T!

(the old one died)

Let's hit the road!

Nerf guns were big too

We'll be able to complete

with the neighbor boys now!

And quiet time

with happy kids for Mom and Dad...

a great day

Happy Holidays!

Twas the night before Christmas...

Here's something you may not know about me (Jack)...

I LOVE to throw a party!

And a Christmas Eve party is about as good as it gets!

We crammed 19 Woods family members around our tables

Aunt Mandy and Uncle Kurt

in their ugly Christmas sweaters

Aaron, Grandpa, and Uncle Mark

Wes, Aunt Peggy, Grammy J, and Tuck

Tucker got his first Woods Christmas present

Thanks Aunt Peggy!

Now all the rest of us want to open our presents!

Who's first?

Youngest to oldest

(Tucker was in bed

...and technically already went first)

Dinos, Dinos, and MORE Dinos!

THE game of the year

B decided Uncle Mark needed help with his

There were a lot of shenanigans

Including matching ugly Christmas sweaters!

They were pretty proud

And then they noticed Grandpa matched too...

The original Woods 4

I had been closely watching the Santa Tracker

on my computer since 9am.

With updates every 5 minutes.

Everyone loved that.

We had to get to bed!

He's moving off the East Coast...

The Eve of the Eve

Isn't Christmas break fun?

Mom's off,

all sorts of time to hang out and play,

counting down to Santa.

What shall we do today?

Grandma Phyllis and Papa Kim

renewed our Paradise Park pass--

let's put it to good use!

After filling up on Waffle House

(and we can put away some hash browns!)

we headed out for some crafts

Lots of careful work!

Some cooking

And of course the water room!

It was Tucker's first time--

I think he liked it!

Yep, we are definitely living up the break!

Chillin' with the bros!
