How is it December already?

Can someone tell me how in the heck it's December already? I always have mixed feeling about December. I do enjoy the holidays and the extra time off of work, but I hate the winter weather that happens in Chicago. Oh well, I have no plans on moving so I just got to learn to deal with the weather (but I don't have to be happy about it).

So to start of December, I decided to make a warm tasty breakfast of chocolate chip banana pancakes. It was just a box mix, but they were very yummy!

 

Shamrock was a little confused on what was going happening because we never eat breakfast at the kitchen table. But he used it as an opportunity to get some extra attention from his daddy.

How cute are my boys?

Also, with December comes many family birthdays- mine included (but that isn't until next week). Today we  celebrated Sam's brother Jimmy's birthday. He will be 17 tomorrow. It's also hard for me to believe that Jimmy was only 4 years old when I first met him (that just makes me feel really old). 

So we enjoyed great  family dinner, chocolate cake, and the boys picking on the birthday boy. I don't know what it is but it's doesn't matter how old these guys get, if you put them in a room together, rough housing will ensue. You're never too old to pick on your little brother- Happy Birthday Jimmy!
