Super Hero Adam

2010-12-26 001

Adam loves to be a super hero with his cape!

2010-12-26 011

Add in some stilts and you have…

The “Super Hero Walk.”

2010-12-27 002

Adam loves Super Why (as I’m sure you all remember from the Christmas posts), so he wanted a green mask. I made one out of construction paper that looks pretty cute on him I must say. Green is his favorite color as a result of his Super Why obsession :)

I love the zooming and swishing noises that he does here. And all his little super phrases…”dat,da,da,…Adam to the rescue,” etc. And all the movements he does while saying these things. I prompted him to say some of his cute phrases on the video, but he originally came up with all of them on his own.

It’s a bird, it’s a plane, it’s Super Adam!

Christmas Day

2010-12-25 001

And now for lots of pictures from Christmas…

2010-12-25 002

Stockings! 

Erik was sick on Christmas :( and threw up a few times…you will notice the white bowl to his right…yeah, that’s why.

2010-12-25 004

Adam insisted on wearing his Christmas socks even though they had sprouted a rather large hole in the toe. Funny kid. He also didn’t want to stay in his pajamas to open presents. He wanted to get dressed first, which is fine, but kinda funny for a three-year-old.

2010-12-25 006

Adam really wanted a “Super Why” toy, that he asked Santa for. He got it, and was very happy indeed. I think it is his favorite present. (The blue and green one is super why, the purple one is alpha pig…just so we’re clear ;)

2010-12-25 011

What is under all those blankets…

2010-12-25 012

Erik’s new “big bike” – hooray!

In the morning he was feeling too sick to go ride it, but thankfully in the afternoon he felt a little better and was able to go try it out ;)

2010-12-25 014

All three kids got Ham piggy banks…thank you Kellogs cereal promotion! :)

2010-12-25 020

And there’s Alex, what more can I say?

2010-12-25 025

“Cutting” food…gotta get ready for that Christmas dinner!

2010-12-25 032

Reptangles…aka “snapping turtles.” They are turtles that snap together to make all sorts of shapes and things.

2010-12-25 037

Adam’s big “tall” present. A new Buzz was in the top box (yes we now have 3 buzzes total, but his other little buzz’s helmet cracked so he got another one), and Rex was in the bottom.

2010-12-25 038

He kept saying that Buzz came form the fish box. I think he was surprised… he probably thought it was really a box of goldfish!

2010-12-25 045

More fun with Super Why and Rex.

2010-12-25 048

My awesome jewelry box that Alex made for me! It’s not quite all the way done, but it is so beautiful :)

2010-12-25 055

Tyler with stacking cups…

2010-12-25 060

and a carrot…

2010-12-25 061

and a cape!

2010-12-25 062

Tyler and Adam got matching super hero capes. So fun!

2010-12-25 082

And Ham number three.

2010-12-25 087

Tyler checking out all the neat books, scriptures stories, etc.

Erik had fun trying out his big bike. He was able to ride it no problem. Adam also got an unofficial present because as soon as Erik got the new bike Adam inherited the smaller one and we put the training wheels back on it for him. He was very happy.

2010-12-25 101

Tyler likes the turtles too.

2010-12-25 104

2010-12-25 106

Adam’s so funny in this picture…Rex, turtles, Super Why, and the holes in his socks :)

2010-12-25 108

A little tired after a fun Christmas…

2010-12-25 111

But while the “big” boys were sleeping Tyler was busy cutting and dicing.

2010-12-25 113

2010-12-25 117

After the nap everyone had some fun with the leftover boxes.

2010-12-25 120

It was Tyler’s idea to put the blanket in the big box. I guess he wanted it to be comfier.

Well, there’s our Christmas :)

Thank you to all our relatives that sent gifts. I am planning to do some thank you notes with the kids sometime, but we will seen when that actually gets done…so in the meantime…Thank you all so much. You really helped to make our Christmas wonderful and super fun for the kids (and for us too of course). We love everything :)

Videos


Adam on his “brand new bike” as you can hear him say on the video. It’s so cute how it doesn’t faze him at all that it was Erik’s bike 24 hours ago.

Tyler opening a present all by himself:

And cutting up veggies:

Christmas Eve pictures

2010-12-24 015

Three brothers by the tree :)

2010-12-24 023

We waited until Christmas Eve to put presents under the tree because we knew Tyler would mess with them. After we got them out he had fun checking out the wrappings and ribbons for a little while before bed. Much better than dealing with telling him not to touch/rip/relocate them all month.

2010-12-24 030

Tyler liked to sit behind the tree and see the presents from that vantage point.

2010-12-24 035

Oooh, ribbons!

2010-12-24 044

Erik all ready for bed and looking cute.

2010-12-24 051

After the kids went to bed… stockings ready…    (Kate - We put the cute dogs you sent in the tops of the boys stockings. How adorable is that! Thanks :)

and a few more presents out…

2010-12-24 066

Ready for Christmas!
