The holiday was magic! All three boys made sure of that! We were at Erin's on Christmas Eve after a great church service and then we had Christmas dinner at our house. The boys seemed thrilled with the gifts that Santa brought and it was lots of fun to see the excitement of opening the family gifts on Christmas Day. We are truly blessed with wonderful children (all four) and beautiful grandsons.

Cookie baking fun

Today the Murphy/Landmeier crew gathered at Erin's and made Christmas cookies. All three boys loved the colored sugar and candy that went on the cookies, They played, decorated, baked and enjoyed the train around the tree. We had lunch together and then Lucas had to leave to go home and take his nap. It was a wonderful family morning! We need to make it a tradition!

Techy boys

Nana has discovered the secret to peace and harmony when the big boys spend the night........laptops! Both were happy as clams to be playing side by side ..........and there was no arguing or fighting!

Lucas and Santa 2

At the daycare holiday party Lucas tried his hand at visiting Santa again. This time, with Mom by his side, he said hello, gave a high five and got a little prayer bear from Santa. Success......but we're not on his lap yet!!

Better late than never!

Just a couple Thanksgiving pix. The boys enjoyed eating with Aunt Cheryl and Uncle Dan. And the Landmeiers sit together for a family picture. Hard to round up the crew most of the time!

Lucas loves Xmas

Lucas went to a special night at daycare to make ornaments. He was very serious about the project! Then Mom and Dad took him to the mall to see Santa. Obviously he wasn't too impressed!! Let's hope he doesn't fear Santa coming to bring the gifts. :)

NAUGHTY OR NICE

THIS SAYS IT ALL!
