Anyone else tired of my green hat?! Note to self: get a new hat before the next picture of me in a hat is taken!
Andrew and Addy played together a lot this weekend. They've been playing more and more now that Addy isn't so quiet around him and he's decided it's okay to play with girls again. : )
We also did some night sledding which was pretty great.
And I leave you with a quick picture of Mason loving his brother. Because I think it's cute...
Two handsome boys ready to see Santa...
I think Andrew's favorite part of riding a train is giving them his ticket. He always gets very excited for that part!
Once they took our ticket, they told us when we'd get to see Santa. We were close to the front, so we bascially saw Santa right after the train got started. It should've been cool, but because Mason was still unsure about the train, seeing Santa wasn't really all that exciting for him...
Enjoying the train.
The grownups.
The kids.
I love iphones! I don't have one, but all the kids seem to... : )
Visiting the garden lights was so much fun this year! Thanks to the boys being in great moods and actually finding the lights exciting, this was by far the most fun we've had of the three years we've gone.
The boys stayed the night with grandma & grandpa while we visited our friends. I don't have any pictures of their slumber party, but they were laughing when we walked in, and there was evidence of McDonalds, so I'm pretty sure they had a good time! 
Mason decided to try on some doll shoes.
Andrew found the hula-hoop.
You realize how big your family is when you all try to fit into one picture! : )
I was pretty sure the boys would love camping since they both love being outside - the one thing I was worried about was bedtime. No need to be worried - they slept like champs!
Our tent became a bit of a bouncy house because we had 3 air mattresses and not a lot of rules about not jumping... We had three because we weren't sure what would happen at bedtime. Andrew has his own but has never wanted to sleep in it and we weren't sure what Mason would do, so we planned for all options. Andrew loved his bed so we basically all had our own mattress. We plan to get a sleeping bag for Mason for our next camping trip - we're pretty sure he'd sleep just fine in one.
We lucked out with a great campground - our camp sites were nice and they had a great swim area.
This creek was across from our campsites. It was separated by a little driveway/road that made a very obvious boundary for the kids but was close enough for us to step in anytime we wanted. On top of it just being really cool looking, we're pretty sure the sound of it is what helped the kids sleep so well.
At one point we had 7 kids between us. Jeannette thought it'd be fun to line them up by age, so of course I took advantage of the lineup. It turns out it's not real easy to get a picture of 7 kids.
Even though we've seen Charlie and Annie a few times over the years, this was the first time that Andrew and Charlie really had time to get to know each other and hang out. They spent a lot of time together and are slowly becoming bff's for sure.
Since we camped over my birthday weekend, Jeannette brought a s'mores buffet to celebrate! Andrew chose the classic, with a few m&m's on the side.
