Santa Claus Came to Town

The boys made ornaments for some of their fellow Taiwanese adoptees for an ornament exchange.



Will was looking super cute the other morning, so Abbey did a little photo shoot.





He has a great smile.







He is really showing emotion.



Do you see his tooth?





Reed told Abbey he was the winner. She never clarified what he was the winner of.



Nash, 1 second.



Nash the next second. He has lots of funny faces.



Reed, Nash, and Will had a great Christmas. They still have no clue that it wasn't actually Christmas day. Yesterday, we left after having Christmas and drove to Mississippi to visit my parents. They traveled exceptionally well.



The boys were excited to play with Enna and Poppy's trains.



We were excited to see Enna and Poppy. We even got to eat at our favorite Mexican, Fernandos.



Poppy helped the boys make train tracks.





Look at Will's funny face when Enna did the head massager.

Everyone Should have an Uncle Bill

Uncle Bill often spends the night with us on Tuesday nights. Tuesday nights are Chick-fil-a family nights, but also a night the boys look forward to because they LOVE Uncle Bill.



Tonight was extra special, because it was Christmas night with Uncle Bill. Reed was beside himself with excitement. Absolutely beside himself. I think he asked a few hundred times if it was time to open presents.



Finally it was time to open presents and Reed couldn't wait. Nash was pretty stoked as well.



They really dug into the presents.



Uncle Bill really over did it. He got them too much.



Reed opened his present and saw the box and was like "this is nice" and then wanted to open another present. He didn't realize the gift was inside.



Uncle Bill helped him open it and inside each boy's box was a cute striped toboggan, matching "Move It" thermal tees (that all three boys got), a sucker, Reed- boxer briefs and Nash-socks, a monster truck shirt, and most important to the boys a toy monster truck.



What didn't make it into the box were the tickets Uncle Bill bought Reed and Nash to go to a monster truck rally in early January. Reed is so excited.







Don't you think that everyone could use an Uncle Bill?







Uncle Bill didn't leave his namesake Will out.



He got him an educational bear, a Mickey Mouse silky, a teething toy, and of course, the two matching items above.



I think that Nash will really be excited when he figures out what is happening more. Can you imagine this little amazing guy has never experienced Christmas before?



Nash wanted to try on his new clothes.



Will was just chillin'.



Reed looked terribly cute in his new boxer briefs.



And he knew it!





Uncle Bill didn't forget us either. We got a bop-it game and some really nice sheets. When we stay at Uncle Bill's house, we always go on and on about his sheets. He lets us have his room when we're there. So, he got us incredible sheets. We've already washed them and have them ready to put on our bed.



We have been trying over the past several years to build Uncle Bill's pottery collection, also our favorite potter, Peter's Pottery. It's the best. We love it. So we got him his third candlestick.



We also got him his own copy of our annual desk calendar, this year with two more adorable faces!



And a photo collage from our photo shoot with Jennifer Adams.





The boys do love their Uncle Bill.



Nash tried on a pair of Reed's boxer briefs, so he was looking really dapper.

Nash Goes to the Dentist

The other day, Nash and Abbey loaded up and headed to the Dentist. It was Nash's first visit to the dentist, so we weren't sure how he would respond.



He loves manipulatives like the one he is playing with in the photo above. He was happy to see they had some toys in the Dentist office.



Nash got a ribbon for being cavity free. Unfortunately when Reed went to the dentist for the first time, he did have a cavity. His second visit though, was a cavity free visit.



Nash did not like the dentist visit though. Abbey said that he screamed and cried. The hygentist was very patient with him.



Getting balloons was Nash's favorite part of the visit.



Of course Abbey and Nash couldn't go near a Target and not go in.



Then they came downtown and had lunch with me. I was happy to get to spend some quality time with Abbey and Nash.



We ate at Otter's. They have our favorite chicken tenders.



The next day, Abbey had to take all three boys to the doctor for visits. Nash and Will needed their second flu shot and Reed needed to be seen about a rash.



Abbey got everyone there and was even 10 minutes early.



While at the Doctor's office, the boys helped Abbey feed Will.



Now, we're bracing for an ice storm possibility. Abbey and I think that it has probably been hyped up too much to actually happen.
