Monster Fun

We got Max this cute little monster hat as an after Christmas present.  He needed a hat so he can ride his motorcycle and play golf in this cold weather.  He loved the hat so much that we had a mini little photo shoot and Molly joined in on the fun too.  He also got his own camera for Christmas and decided to take some pictures of me and Molly.  It was a fun evening activity for all!

He is so much fun!

Giving his dad some love.

This is Max being a monster.

I just love this face!



Taking a picture of mommy with his new camera.

Love him!

Now it's Molly's turn to have her picture taken.

He loves his new camera.

Getting another picture of mom.

Checking to see how his pictures turned out.  He's actually very good.

Giving Molly some love.

He told me he was helping Molly get her exercise. 

He wanted to put the hat on Molly.

Max thought she looked pretty silly and Molly is giving us her Monster impression.

Floor Time

I finally set aside a little floor time for Molly...you know to get some exercise.  This was her first experience with the mat and the hanging animals.  I just love the look on her face as she tries to figure out what's hanging over her head.  She is such a funny girl!









And this is what happened next...

Max and the Chipmunks

Since Max is out of school for the next two weeks for Christmas break I decided we needed to get out of the house.  So, what can you do with a three year old and a newborn...take in a movie!  Max LOVES the Chipmunks, and when he saw the previews for their new movie he insisted we go see it.  He took his friend Alvin with him, I got him some popcorn and a drink, we got comfortable in our seats, and enjoyed the movie.  Max was so great during the whole thing.  He laughed and talked about certain scenes and when the movie was over he got upset and asked if we could watch it again.  I had to tell him that in order to watch it again we had to pay for another ticket.  I told him we would go home and watch his Chipmunk movie, and that got us out of the theater.  The best part were the figurines they had displayed outside our theater.  Max got his picture taken with all the Chipmunks and then he posed with each one individually.  I guess you could say this little dude had a great time at the movies!  Oh yes, and Molly is such a great little sister that she slept through the whole movie and didn't wake up until we got back to the house.  Win win for everyone!

Max and Alvin enjoying their popcorn and loving the movie!

Max and the Chipmunks!

Alvin!

Simon!

Theodore! 

Max can't wait to add this movie to his DVD collection!

Sweet Morning Moments

Max and Molly were hanging out in our room one morning, and I caught them being extra sweet to each other.  Max just loves his little sister, and as you can tell Molly thinks her big brother is pretty special too.  We just love these two!  Oh yes, and you can't forget about the sweet pug, Conan, cuddled next to Max.



A Visit with Santa

We took Max and Molly to the mall to see Santa Claus.  Max was so excited to tell Santa what he wanted for Christmas this year.  He told Santa he wants a motorcycle for Christmas and Santa told him to continue being good for mom and dad.  After that Max was all smiles for the picture.  Molly did great too...just let Santa hold her while big brother smiled.

Merry Christmas!!!
