This past weekend we were able to get over to the Tyma's house! The kids played outside while the dad's built a fort! The kids actually thought it was pretty cool too! It has been a long time since we have been able to go outside and play, but we are taking full advantage of it! Makes us want spring even more!
FINALLY, I got the courage to get rid of the nuk. It was just random and decided that it was going to be that day! He did pretty good. I let him pick out something at toys r us and then I picked out something for the Nuk fairy to bring him that night. So I wouldn't cave, I cut the nuk. He was good about going to bed that night because he had not had a nap! In the middle of the night, he woke up several times asking for it and I showed him the broken nuk! Today nap went o.k. and anxious to see how the night went. Here are some pic's of him opening his present from the nuk fairy!
Well this has been a cold winter. Although this week hasn't been as bad! Last week was horrible and we spent most of the days indoors. I got an idea from another friend to save some of their xmas gifts and bring them out on a winter day. So that is what we did. We had moon dough to play with, new puzzles and new games to play with. It was like Christmas all over again! The kids loved it! Last Friday night was really bad, as we usually go to gym night, but we decided to stay in. Mike put the kids tent together and the kids got their sleeping bags and watched a movie and ate popcorn. They thought this was pretty cool as well!
Wow, it has been a long time! Well let me first catch you up on NYE's! This year we decided to book a room at hotel and let the kids swim. My sister also got a room with her family. My cousins from NE and Waseca were also able to come and it was fun hanging out with them. The kids all had a good time hanging out together! They swam, swam and swam! They were exhausted! We are hoping to make this a tradition every year. The kids are still talking about staying in the hotel and going swimming!
Christmas Eve was spent at the Bril household! The kids were so excited to go over to Grandma's and G-pa's to see their aunts and uncles and cousins! The kids ripped through their presents so fast! It was so fun to watch!
Christmas morning the kids woke up and opened stockings, presents from Santa and presents from mom and dad. Noah would barely get the wrapping paper off, and move on to the next one. Caeden on the other hand, would take his time and "examine" each gift! It was a great morning at our house and next year we will have a little 5month old to join our craziness!
Then it was headed over to the Wrights house for more present opening! The kids went first again and went so fast it was so hard to see what everyone got. Then it was the adults turn! 
All in all it was a great Christmas the kids and us were spoiled and we are so thankful and lucky for the families we have!
Well Dec was a busy month for the Bril household! I have tired to get into the holiday spirit as much as I could with not really feeling the greatest! Mike has been a HUGE help and I am so thankful to have him around to help out while I lay on the couch!
Caeden had a Christmas program at school. He stood in front of us with his class and sang some songs! Even Dad got to go up with him. Grandma and G-pa were able to come too!
We were able to go see Santa! the boys were all excited and when it eas our trun Caeden, hopped on his lap right away while NOah cried and said he was scared. So it became a family picture with Santa! After the picture the boys were able to ride the train. I think this was their favorite part!
We have also been going to gym nights on Friday nights. It is a good way for the boys to burn off some of their energy. They love going and there are lots of their friends there as well!
The kids were excited about the tree, making gingerbread house, going to look at Christmas lights and CONSTANTLY listening to Christmas music!
Sorry I have been MIA lately on the blog, but I can promise you there will be lots of pic's to come! Merry Christmas everyone!
