Merry Christmas

It is so nice to be home as a family the Christmas. I'm so thankful for our boys and the joy they bring to us. It was so fun seeing them open presents this year. We are spending the day in our PJ's and I'm cooking a ham and all the trimmings. I'm really excited to be eating dinner on the Christmas dishes that my mom sent me. They are the ones that we had dinner on every year when we were growing up. It is so fun starting little traditions with my own kids. :)
Jack, smile for the picture.

Finally caught Jack looking




Jack got a tool bench from Santa

Kaleb opening one of his gifts from Wendy

I think he had a very merry Christmas

Jack with some of his toys


Wendy even got him a new cup. As soon as he opened it he said "juice" :)

Happy Boys!

Happy Christmas Eve

Tonight we had Christmas Eve dinner at Sam's. It has kinda become a tradition and we aren't complaining. Mar is in Hawaii with her family so of course we missed her but we still had a blast. I am so blessed to have these girls in my life.

Annie made us fresh hot chocolate and it was delicious! Look how cute her little pregnant tummy is :)

The kids love decorating Christmas cookies



Jack playing xbox kinect with the guys.


Annie made all the kids Magic Reindeer Food so Santa could find us


Santa found us!!

When Gino and I were kids my mom would read us a story out of this book every night in Dec while we set by the tree and drank hot cocoa. She gave the book to me when Jack was born and I love reading the stories to my boys. :)

Homemade Reese's for Santa

Jack and I made Homemade Reese's for Santa today. It was so fun having him help me in the kitchen


Jack really wasn't being a big help since he kept eating the filling haha


going back for more

Happy Holidays

I'm so glad Kaleb doesn't run from the camera. Yet!


I wish Jack would take one good picture with Kaleb!

A trip to the North Pole

Last week went to a local Christmas amusement park. The whole way there I kept telling Jack we were going to see Santa and he would smile and say Santa and when we got there he took off running to see santa but when we actually got to him he wanted nothing to do with him. He didn't cry or anything but just wasn't into it.

Kaleb liked Santa though

Jack's not into taking pictures this year


Jack riding the rides. I know he doesn't look like it but he really had fun. He cried so hard when we made him leave the fire truck.





Kaleb even got to join in on some of them.

Redecorating

I guess kaleb doesn't like my tree skirt haha

And the Holidays begin

Christmas is my favorite time of the year!! I love the lights, the music, and all the cheezy stuff that comes along with it :) The other night I went to walmart and when I got home Josh had put the tree up so it was ready to decorate!

Luckily I had enough fabric to make Kaleb's stocking match Jacks

Jack decorated the kitchen door

and Kaleb loves the lights. Yes he is wearing Jack's PJ's from last year. He is my chunker :)



We even decided to pull out the big snowman and put him on the porch to wave at all the neighbors haha

Jack loves the noman :)
