The boys opened up Day 1 of their lego Star Wars advent calendar today. Watching them put it together with Scott reminded me of Gavin putting together his first item from last year's Lego advent calendar. I had to dig up the pictures and video on my phone, and it was amazing to look at Gavin a year ago. He was 3, almost 4, and wow. Colin was 1, soon to be 2. And still basically bald!
This video is about 2 and a half minutes long. Big Gavin and Colin fans, you can watch the whole thing, but even just the first little bit shows you how different he was and how much they've both grown.
Here's a picture of them putting together this year's calendar. Last year we kept it up on a
dresser to keep Colin out of it, but this year it's on the boys' table in the office. They can get to it to play with it whenever they want.
We have an elf on our shelf! He arrived yesterday and rested his weary self on a speaker in the living room after his long trek from the North Pole. We read all about him, and the boys decided to name him Quincy. I asked Gavin where in the world he heard that name, and he answered that it was on Little Einsteins. I didn't know he watched that show!
Here is a shot of Quincy, comfortably resting in the bathroom while he keeps up with whether the boys are naughty or nice.
After seeing Gavin and Colin in the video from last year, I had to get some video of them this year. Voila....
Did you notice that, according to Colin, Santa says "Yo ho ho!" ??? Pirate Santa!
