Christmas Eve.


Christmas Eve, we went to my moms where we ate lots of yummy food. Then all of the kids got dressed up and reinacted the nativity scene. It was so cute! Kylie and Blake were Mary & Joseph, Jett was baby Jesus, Ethan was a shepherd, Abby was an angel, and Bryson and Derek were Wise Men. They had lots of fun! It was one out of control nativity scene!!! Then we went home and we all opened up our Christmas jammies. Christmas morning was a blast. The kids didn't wake up until 7:15a.m. which was nice. They got lots of fun presents and were so happy and excited. It was a very Merry Christmas!!!

{Annual Gingerbread House}

Here's our annual Gingerbread House photo. I won't post photos of the house, because it was pretty much a disaster! So, we just let the kids dig in and eat it. It was the funnest!!!

{Little Friends}


So, So cute!!! I LOVE these photos! Jett got to see his little best buddy Cal tonight. They were so cute together! We sat them on the couch and they were both smiling and laughing at Rachel because she was singing to them. After a minute of sitting there next to each other, they looked over and noticed each other. It was so fun to watch them! What beautiful, sweet baby boys!

Tonight, we had some of our friends over for a little get-together and dinner. While we had fun visiting, the kids had fun decorating gingerbread men and cupcakes. The sprinkles were a huge hit! So many sprinkles!!! It was so fun getting together and letting the kids play.

{Let It Snow, Let It Snow, Let It Snow!}






So, I really don't enjoy the snow. But, today I kind-of liked it. We had nowhere to be and it made me start to feel all Christmasy! The kids LOVED it. Adrian made a snowball for Derek, and he just carried it around and licked it the whole time. Jett just liked laying in the snow. (Thanks for the fabulous snow bunting Candice!) We enjoyed the snow and had a fun time playing in it, now it can go away!!!
