We took the boys last Thursday night to Denver's Zoo Lights. It was really neat and it was something that Greg had never done before, either. We loved going to Boo at the Zoo in Fort Worth and this is the Denver's zoo equivalent to a neat after-hours event. It was cold, but both boys were real troopers and walked almost the whole way (we also had to carry them some).
When we left, Luke said, "bye zoo, bye amimals" and Ryan screamed and cried "Zoo!!!" "Amimals!!" He does not transition well and was obviously very upset that we left. Overall, they had a great time and it is something I hope we can do again next year.
On Friday night we went to a family Christmas party where the boys saw Santa Claus for the 3rd time-they're getting really used to him. Santa came to their school on Thursday and apparently the boys were so unafraid of him that Luke wanted to sit in his lap twice and Ryan sang him the ABC's. At the Brighton Christmas party, the boys had a blast playing with the older kids. They got to ride their backs like horses and slide down the stairs on their bellies a few dozen times. They were the youngest kids there, besides Thomas who is 3 weeks old, and they loved the attention that they got. They'll have a good time in Lubbock playing with their older cousins Jacob and Olivia when we go there next week.
We've had a good week with no school. Unfortunately the only way I can get anything done that has to be done with the boys at home is to put in a movie. Below is a picture of them watching Cars in their PJs.
Ryan takes a nap in our bed (because we can't keep them in the same room during nap or they'll just play). I have so far found him sleeping with the toilet plunger and lying in various positions across the bed. Two days ago, I found him sleeping on the floor surrounded in bed pillows. At least he is sleeping.
Have a wonderful Christmas and I'll be sure to post more in the next few days.
