December

Daddy bliss. Watching a show snuggled up with his boys. 

As eluded to in the Collier family blog, we took the boys to see Thomas the train. To our despair, (after much waiting in line with four children under four), we found Thomas to be a cardboard cutout. Epic mommy fail. The boys were still pretty jacked to be surrounded by a whole building full of choo-choos and their accoutrements. The boys were decked out in overalls, looking the part of would-be train conductors. The best part of the day was having time with their awesome cousins :)

After the Thomas the train debacle we headed over to the toy store to fit Elias for his first big boy bike. Daddy is such a trooper. He put on a helmet and ran around the store with me as we test drove many bikes :)

Elias loves drinking warm beverages and here he is sipping some cider with a cinnamon stick stirrer. He says it makes him feel warm and comfty. That's right, there's a 't' in the comfy when he says it. 

We had a few mild days in December and we enjoyed some great outdoor play at the park in our neighborhood. Here's Elias channeling a homeless person, sleeping on the bench. 

Note Elias cheesing in the background :)

Peek a boo!

Here's Elias feigning sleep again. I think he's trying to tell me something.
