Merry Christmas

What a wonderful Christmas break we have had so far. A little crazy as we started off with the strep, the flu, head colds followed by the flu but we are almost all completely back to normal. We are so blessed to have two awesome boys! I thank God all the time for them!

We celebrate Christmas from kris and I by taking the boys on a fun trip. This year we went to a waterpark. So the boys did not get any gifts from us but they did manage to get a few from Santa! And he was good to them!

Here is my boy, bright and early.....love him!


And my other boy....love him too!


And both of them. They were soooo sweet to each other Christmas morning! It made for a very relaxed day!


Santa brought the boys a basketball hoop. We were lucky enough to have such mild weather on Christmas (boo to no snow) that kris and Owen got to try it out.


We are looking forward to using our new hoop for many, many years.....


And slowly but surely we are replacing all of our original 1994 light fixtures. Kris got me a new light fixture for our entryway.

Old!!!


New!!


Much better....now just need my hardwood floors.....soon enough!


And finally at Grammys.....and nicer pics. Man I really need to stop using my cell or at least upgrade to a newer phone with a better camera.

Such handsome boys!


Their eyes get me all the time!


Ms. Kyle made us each scarves. What a very through true gift. We all love them.


Owen's favorite color is gold. She came through for him.


Here they all are hanging up.....love them!!!


This pile is just from Grammys house....yikes!!!!! Spoiled boys!


Here's wishing you a very happy new year to you all.

Buddy

Last night buddy was a little mischievous at our house and ransacked our left over spaghetti!!


Needless to say in the midst of Owen having the flu it brought quite the smile to both of their faces this morning!!!

Big snow

Unfortunately we haven't had any snow in several weeks and I'm wondering if we will have a white Christmas this year. But Wyatt found some time to play in the snow from several weeks ago....

Buddy!

Buddy came to our new house to visit the boys. They were wondering if buddy would know that we moved. Thankfully buddy came and on his first visit and brought the boys new toothbrushes.....Owen was just getting over strep throat so the timing was perfect!!!

Ring ring ring the bell

For the past several years my dad has been a volunteer for the Salvation Army. He rings the bell several weeks leading up to Christmas and truly believes in this organization.

Our family has been trying to do away with gifts, so that we can teach the boys what the Christmas season is truly about. And for that we want to give back to our community. So it's perfect that we can meet up with my dad and ring the bell with him a few times during the Christmas season. This year kris went to.....and as mild as the weather has been lately, we picked the coldest day of the year so far.....figures!!

Wyatt dentist

Well Wyatt did not have the greatest dentist appointment his last visit.....five cavities. Ugh! So they have to take three different appointments to fill them. This past week was his first of three appointments. He got his laughing gas but he really didn't show much of a reaction, Owen was pretty funny with his so I was hoping for some goofiness. But nope!!


He was able to watch a movie during his appointment. How the times have changed!


And after we took him to the store so he could use the money he got from Grammy. He loves Legos!!
