Boys in a Box

When Tim's Christmas present (a very fancy self-cleaning coffee and expresso maker--don't worry, he ordered it himself, so no surprises were spoiled just now) arrived last week, Tyler was so excited about the box in which it came. We actually kept it in his playroom for a couple days just because he enjoyed it so much. He wanted to eat his snacks in it and drive his tractors up the inside walls. Nana put Nathan in it one evening, and of course Tyler wanted to join his little brother, which presented a cute photo op.

Hugs
...and kisses

Here are just a few more photos from the past few days...

Every year at Christmas, I put out this little gold sleigh with a teddy bear named Mittens by the tree. Tyler has always liked Mittens, but he's showing even more interest in it this year. He has been taking Mittens and Monkey for sleigh rides all around the house. He requests to take naps with Mittens, and he even wanted to take the bear (and Monkey, of course) to church yesterday.

Just for fun, here's a photo of Tyler taken 2 years ago with this same sleigh and bear.

Nathan is getting up on his knees more and more. He's definitely trying to do the "real" crawl, but he always ends up reverting to the commando crawl when he sees something he really wants...

...like this dump truck. He's such a boy!

I can't believe how much they look alike! They are too darn cute! Jay's favorite thing a couple of weeks ago was playing in the box the dishwasher came in. It kept him entertained for hours. Kinda makes me wish I didn't throw it out!
