I don't know what has gotten into me lately, but sometimes, I take at look at these three and just tear up over how blessed we are. Life lately has been really good (exhausting, but really, really good). And this weekend was just perfect.
On Saturday morning, the boys' school hosted a Breakfast with Santa so I put the boys in their amazing matching sweater vests (hand knitted by Sue) and we headed up to school. I was surprised by how okay Bennett was with Santa (he tells me every morning that our Elf 'isn't real') and of course, Cullen jumped right up there and started listing his Christmas wishes (A football, football gloves, a football stand, a football jersey...)
Wells joined in too.
All he wants for Christmas are pants that fit his giant legs.
It was a cold, but beautiful day out and we weren't quite ready to go home after our visit with Santa, so we went up to Old Town and caught the end of the Scottish Parade. Since it was an unplanned outing, we made due with what we had in the car and C ended up in my vest.
Bennett loved the bag pipers, liked actually cried when we started walking away, which led to us staying way longer than we intended.
Then it was home for naps, followed by another great Auburn win (and now a trip to the National Championship!)
Sunday, we woke up early and made it to Mass, then walked out to snow! The boys were so excited. C doesn't remember snow from when we lived in NC and B's only experience with it was during our trip to Tahoe last year, so watching them light up at it falling from the sky was so amazing.
We were supposed to go down to my in-laws' in the afternoon, but decided to stay home because of the icy road conditions. To make up for not visiting Nana and Pop, the boys and I spent the afternoon making sugar cookies.
And that ended the recipe for a perfect weekend.
I truly have a wonderful life.

Amazing photos and priceless memories made. :)
You really do have a blessed life with those three little boys! I love reading about the fun activities you do with them! I'm so glad they are getting to experience the magic of snow this year!
I do the same thing - just looking at my boys and tearing up from time to time. I remember last year on Christmas, pregnant, watching Holden and just crying over how blessed I knew we were. I blamed it on hormones then but I'm pretty sure I will do it again this year. ;)
I'm going to have to show Trenton the snow pictures. He can't wait to play in the snow next winter!
What a cute post. Your baby is looking so darn cute and fat, it's precious. I love his eye color. And the last picture. Too much. Love,

Thanks for the link up Kate, the boys do look cute in their vests, and it looks like you had a great weekend
Like taken right out of a fairy tale book, looks like the perfect weekend. Santa, Parade, snow and Cookies what more could a couple little boys ask for!!!
That Old Town parade looks awesome. And yes, the best moments are ones when we look around and just feel complete satisfaction at where we are in our lives. I hope you're enjoying the snow day!
