It has been a bit since we updated...computer problems have plagued us of late. But we are on board again to wish everyone a Merry Christmas.
The week before Christmas we lucked out and had Uncle David and Aunt Lesley come for a visit! The boys took them to one of their favorite hang out places...Wacky Bounce!

Who is having more fun?
The past week the boys have not been in school so we have been filling our time with lots of art and writing projects. Here they traced Dad's shoes and then decorated them together.
We also had to get a new washer/dryer this week :( and convinced the delivery person to leave one of the big boxes. Here the boys are using pencils and measuring tapes to mark out additional windows in their new play house.
We managed to squeeze in some big squeezes!!
We also took a horse drawn carriage around downtown Albany. The boys especially loved the battery powered candles they got to hold and all the hot chocolate that was passed around. They laughed at some of the Christmas carols that were sung...like 'Grandma got run over by a reindeer' and 'I saw Mommy kissing Santa'.
Christmas eve we made cookies at our friend's house...can't have enough cookies!!
On Christmas morning Dylan woke up singing Jingle Bells...but stayed in bed until Cole ran back down the hall announcing that there were presents under the tree. After taking a look both boys ran back to Mom and Dad's room and Dylan said "Mom, there is like eleven-teen (his favorite number is 11 and he always adds 'teen' to the end!) presents under the tree...come quick!"
Cole was very excited for his chocolate Santa in his stocking...too bad for Mom and Dad that he ended up thinking that was all he needed to eat for breakfast!
The highlight of the morning was this ginormous trash truck from their cousins. After opening this they were not interested in opening anything else for at least 2 hours.
Another highlight was this 'Snap Circuits' toy that another cousin gave Dylan. Dylan picked this up immediately and after one or two times was able to read the instructions and create his own circuits.
After a fun and crazy morning at home we headed over to Grandma and Grandpa's house...news was that Santa stopped by their house too!
Grandma and Grandpa are enjoying watching the boys tear into their presents!
Then cousins Brooke & Miles and Aunt Julie and Uncle Todd showed up and the present opening commenced again!!
To end a fabulous day of thrills and chills Dad sat down and told the boys all about the Fiegener tradition sniffing the 'official' smell of Christmas.
