Cole, Bradley, and Beckham December 2009

Thanks to Andrea K Photography I got some updated photos of my kids for our Christmas cards. Here are a few of them!

Cole 6 Years Old

Bradley 5 Years Old

Beckham 7 Months Old

Our three boys!

Hand me downs

There are many advantages of having three boys (seriously...I love it...which I know may shock some of you)! But one big advantage is the hand me down of clothes. Beckham is a proud owner of many of his big brother's clothes. I put Beckham in these reindeer pajamas this Christmas and it reminded me of a Christmas when I had both Cole and Bradley in the same ones. I just had to post it. In these pictures Cole is 2 (almost 3) and Bradley is 1 1/2. Beckham is 7 months.

Christmas Day 2009

I could just kick myself! We filmed on Christmas so we didn't even think to take pictures. I am so sad! I have one solo picture of Beckham playing with basket from a wonderful neighbor gift. I am going to see if any of my family members took pictures and then I will post them.

The boys woke up Christmas morning and went to check if the reindeer ate their food! They did! So they moved on to see if Santa ate his cookies and saw that Santa enjoyed those too. They were so excited to open up their presents. Once all that was done the whole family came over and had breakfast. The boys loved playing with their cousins. We headed home and we were all so exhausted we hung out in the family room and in between naps played with our new toys/gadgets. We are so thankful for our many blessings. Just being together and enjoying this beautiful holiday made my heart soar. Cole was asked to give the prayer for the food and in the prayer he mentioned (without any coaxing from us) he was grateful for the savior's birth and that this is a time of giving and sharing. What a beautiful holiday!

Christmas Eve

On this Christmas Eve we decided to take the boys to see Alvin & The Chipmunks: The Squeakquel downtown with my mom! The boys LOVED it. I think Beckham might have loved it the most- he danced through the whole movie.
Then it was off to Nanny and Papa's house to sleep over! Papa bought the boys a Polar Express train to set up around the Christmas Tree. The boys had so much fun putting it together with their Daddy. Beckham loved pulling it apart.
We then had dinner, attempted to make gingerbread houses (there is a reason there is no picture of this), decorated cookies for Santa, set out the reindeer food, and then off for a bath and pajamas. This all happened so quickly because the boys were so tired they could barely keep their heads off the table. It was a wonderful Christmas Eve!

Here Come's Santa Claus.....

Today was our annual Reynolds Family Christmas lunch at the Country Club! My whole family (minus my brother Greg, sister-in-law Michelle, and their twins Madison and Sadie) gathered to eat lunch and wait for Santa Claus and Mrs. Claus to arrive on their helicopter. The kids get so excited for this every year. Dennis and I were excited to see how Beckham would react to Santa. Everyone loved it and Beckham didn't cry, but he did seem a little confused! It was a wonderful day.

I knew something was up.....

I have found Beckham with his binky like this several times...it makes me laugh. I just thought he wasn't sure how to put the binky in right. But as I found out tonight he has a tooth on the bottom that came in! I couldn't believe it! My baby is getting so big! He just turns that binky in and turns it around and CHOMPS!
