Merry Christmas!!

We started off our Christmas celebrations with Logan's Preschool Christmas program last week!! He was SO excited because Daddy, Landon, Auntie Kristin, Kayli, Brooklyn, Kyler, and Brayden all came to see his program. He was grinning all week and kept telling me "Mom, my Auntie sure does love me!". Yes son, yes she does!!!

Next was our tradition of attending our Candlelight Service at our church on Christmas Eve. It is always such a beautiful service and I look forward to it all year round.

Chuck and I really got into the Christmas spirit this year as our boys' imaginations are in full swing! It was fun to "play up" the magic of the holidays and see the excitement, awe, and wonder in their eyes. I wish these 2 amazing little boys would stay little forever! They are at the best ages right now and we have a blast with them every single day!
 "Santa" showed up big time this year - getting the boys wanted they have been asking for for quite some time...

Power Wheels!!!


After playing outside most of Christmas morning, we came in and spent hours building our new LEGO's. Both of the boys could sit there all day if there are LEGO's in front of them - it just amazes me how much they love them!!
And now post-Christmas exhaustion has set in. As I am writing this, Chuck has fallen asleep in Landon's bed while snuggling with him. Guess the kiddos are not the only ones who are worn out from all the Christmas fun :)

Merry Christmas to all of our family and friends!! We wish you all a blessed, happy, healthy, prosperous New Year!!!

It was hot outside so we stopped in to watch Aladdin. It was one of the best plays I have ever seen and it kept the boys' attention for almost an hour (in air conditioning!)



We love Monsters Inc.
