The main activity after Christmas was Lego building. Tyler always impresses me with his ability to follow the instructions for these things, especially with how complex this set was. John helped with the motors that make the moving parts function, but Tyler was very involved even in that process. I think this was a really fun project for these two. They were pretty cute working side by side.
Occasionally we did venture out of the house for a little break from all the construction. Here are just a few of the fun things we did.
We had a few days of really nice weather- chilly, but nice, so we headed outdoors. The boys had a great time playing at the park.
Until it got too cold and everyone needed to head back indoors for more cuddles :)
On another particularly nice day we headed down to Stockyard Station to watch the cattle drive. This is typically one of our Thanksgiving traditions, but we didn't make it out there this year, so we figured we'd head down during Christmas.
While we were there the boys got to ride the ponies. They loved it!
This was the first time Robby had ever ridden a horse (or pony, I should say). His face was so cute. He smiled from ear to ear the entire time and kind of had this look on his face like, wow. I'm a big boy. I'm really doing this like a real cowboy. He was so cute!
They also had a small petting zoo that was also a huge hit. Robby wasn't timid at all, but he did particularly like all the little goats and would say, aw, look at the little baby goats! Come here little goat!
Tyler was a little more timid about touching the animals, which I thought was kinda funny.
But after watching his younger brother be so bold, he came around.
