Happy February! I can't believe I haven't updated since November when we've had such an exciting couple of months!
 |
| Our Lego family for Christmas 2014 designed by James! |
There are a lot of firsts and developmental milestones in first grade!
 |
| James finished his first chapter book over the Christmas break! So proud of him - he is reading above grade level. |
 |
| James also remains very active with track and is working with his gym teacher to start a running club at his elementary school! |
 |
| This was a fun assignment for the entire family. Once he completed the assignment, James presented it to his class. |
We did family Christmas pictures this year with a great photographer. We met at Minute Man National Park - where Paul Revere was captured- and had fun taking pictures together. I worked the night before and it was cold out, but the pictures still turned out great!
 |
| The 2014 Walters Family Christmas picture! |
 |
| My two cutie pies! |
 |
| Eli is trying to stay warm in daddy's jacket! |
 |
| Great picture of Tobias. The boys were done at this point. |
 |
| Tobias and I even managed to get a picture together! Still madly in love after 10 years of marriage! |
Thanksgiving 2014 was definitely memorable. We were able to get reservations at a restaurant on the top floor of one of Boston's tallest buildings. The food was great and we enjoyed our special Thanksgiving together!
 |
| The boys were dressed in their finest duds and man do they clean up nicely! |
 |
| Such a dapper lil' dude! |
 |
| The view from our table - looking right at Cambridge and MIT! |
 |
| Both the boys really enjoyed the view. Neither one appears to be afraid of heights at all - I guess when your dad is a pilot, there's no way you can be afraid of heights! |
 |
| Handsome guy! |
Christmas 2014 was also memorable. I worked Christmas Eve and Christmas Day so we celebrated a day late, but still had a great Christmas! My dad also spent most of the Christmas break with us, and we enjoyed having family with us too.
 |
| My cute little Christmas elves after our tree was all decorated! |
 |
| The festivities began with opening up a single gift after Christmas Eve service. |
 |
| Tobias loves the bike and so we added a few extra fun accessories including a bumper sticker, reflective stickers, and lights. He has over 1400 miles on the bike and continues to ride in the winter. |
 |
| James and Grandpa enjoyed Lefse (a Norwegian treat) together. Lefse is a thin potato pancake and served with butter and sugar. |
 |
| Jams and Grandpa playing a game together. |
 |
| Lexington, MA tour - where the Revolutionary War began. |
Elias' 3rd birthday (formerly known as our wedding anniversary)! Hard to believe our little bear is now 3!
 |
| We started off his special day with a donut! Yum! |
 |
| Elias loves the "Despicable Me" movies and wanted minion cupcakes for his celebration, so Tobias went to work on creating those. |
 |
| Nicely done Tobias! And Elias loved his cupcakes! |
We are also busy preparing for the arrival of the newest Walters!
 |
| For the first time ever - there's a lot of pink going on around here! I'm rather large and in charge, but still working full time and feeling okay most days. |
One of our family traditions is Build-A-Bear. The boys very thoughtfully picked out, stuffed, and brushed a bunny for their baby sister.
 |
| Elias' Cubby Bear is sporting the Superman outfit and James' Bear Bear is Captain America. |
There's also been some weather here in Boston lately! We didn't have any snow at Christmas but now there is so much snow!
 |
| The view from our apartment! |
 |
| For perspective - that's a bike handle sticking out from the snow! |
 |
| But when you're a little person, snow is fun and exciting! |
 |
| The boys love sledding. James even spent his own money to buy this new toboggan. |
 |
| James is such a great big brother - he will pull Eli around sometimes! |
 |
| A special selfie of these two handsome fellows. Their eye color looks identical in this picture, although Tobias is more blue and James is more green typically. |
 |
| It may be cold outside, but these guys sure know how to have fun! |
