Leading up to Christmas

In the week leading up to Christmas, there was much to do.  Of course we baked cookies....

But I think the boys had more fun once Daddy took off work and we could get out of the house and do things.  We went to Marbles kids museum and had a ball.  Chandler really liked the hockey rink and was actually quite good (I hear).  I was in the ball area with Maverick.  

Maverick enjoyed himself too.  He loved grabbing the cars as they rolled down the ramp that the boys were playing with.  He also enjoyed the various spots to stand up and watch the big kids play.  In one of the ball pits he even made a friend who was his size, but already crawling.  

I love the smile on Brighton here.  He really enjoyed driving the bus once it was finally his turn!  Being a little brother means you usually have to wait your turn.  Brighton also enjoyed dressing up in the pretend area and was a vet to an owl with a splinter in her wing.
