Potty training, Christmas cards, Our Elf returns and more!

So, this is how December starts.........CRAZY!!!!! 
 
Tim and I have been ready to stop diapers, and Nolen probably too, but I so dreaded potty training!!  Well, to my surprise, it hasn't been all that bad.  We have had accidents but we have been going on two weeks and I would say we are pretty much there!  The past couple of days, he has learned the "need to go" feeling and has been accident free!!  He has even learned that pooping in the potty is pretty cool!!  Yay to Nolen and Yay to no more diapers (except at night for a while)!
 
 
Both of my boys LOVE stickers so the sticker board worked for both of them!!  He got a sticker every time he went on the potty and he got to put it on the board!  He is very proud!

Everybody gets a prize for Nolen learning to potty!!  It's a team effort folks!!

He was super excited about his dragon car!  For 10 stickers on the board, he got a new hot wheel!  For being accident free one day he got a new hot wheel and for being accident free and 20 stickers.....yes, a new car!!  Three new cars is totally worth not buying diapers every month!!!

 
The boys get new Christmas pj's from Grandma and Bompa every year on Thanksgiving and that is what they wear for our Christmas card picture!  I saw a cute picture on pinterest with the kids on a bed reading a Christmas book!  That didn't work out but we sure got a cute one in front of the tree!!
This would've worked but Hudsen is smiling so big his eyes are only partially opened!

My big boy!!

Christmas Card 2013!  Merry Christmas from The Watts Family!

 
Our elf, Tibby, found our house again this year!!  The boys were so excited to get their package, open it and find out Tibby was back!



The fun Tibby has been having!
Making an elf sized s'more!

Fishing!

Enjoying a sugar cookie!

Putting a puzzle together!

Elves drink green milk!

Just a swinging!

Coloring a picture of an elf!

Reading a Christmas book to some of his friends!


This morning he let the boys know he wanted them to decorate the felt tree!


So they did!

 
Just some extras!!!
Hudsen got sick and missed a couple of days of school!  He was still able to smile!

They love coloring and especially by the tree!

They got special books from Grandma and Bompa!  Hallmark books and Grandma and Bompa recorded the book, so they can read the boys a book anytime and anywhere!



I have seen this and have wanted to do this but just really didn't want to go shopping for just a canvas!  While cleaning out a closet this morning, I found this red one and quickly made my "Mistletoes" sign!!!  The boys had fun and I LOVE it!!!
 
Next up: Hudsen's birthday, visiting Santa and Hudsen's party, in that order!!!  Still can't believe he will be 5!!!
