Merry Christmas everyone! I hope you all had a wonderful time with family and friends, I know we sure did! I think every year just gets better and having little ones around defiantly makes it more fun! We had my family over Christmas Eve, our usual tradition. The boys made a fantastic dinner and the girls and my dad played with the kids. Christmas day Chris and I stayed home and it was great! We took a couple of naps and Cohen played with all of his new toys. Later that evening we visited some friends and drove through town looking at all the Christmas lights. It was a really nice day for the three of us!



Berkeley and Oliver probably ate as much candy as they put on the gingerbread house! This has been a fun tradition and maybe someday they'll finish the entire thing instead of Papa.


Cohen really enjoyed opening his gifts and chewing on all the paper and bows. Oliver and Berk helped him check out all his new stuff and they were so much fun to watch.



I am so blessed!

Well December has been a busy month and I wish it would slow down just a little bit! We put our tree up Thanksgiving weekend after we got home from Leavenworth. If you aren't in the spirit after visiting Leavenworth then I don't know what else you can do! Cohen loves the tree, loves the lights and loves to touch all the ornaments. He actually helped me decorate, it took a bit longer but I hope to make it a tradition. I remember helping as a kid and I loved getting all the boxes out and going through all the ornaments Lisa and I made. I always wondered why my mom kept all macaroni art and Popsicle stick figures, they were pretty awful looking. Now I know, and I will think they are beautiful just as she did and probably still does!


We went to Snowflake Lane in Bellevue and this is another fun tradition we have started with the two best cousins in the world! Oliver is always asking to "find Coco" and Berkeley is wanting to hold him as much as she can. I am so thankful they are going to grow up together.

We met some friends down at the Old Canary.
