Merry Christmas and Happy New Year from our family to yours! What a special Christmas this was, probably my favorite so far! I can't help but get a little teary eyed when I think of how blessed we are and how good God is. Christmas Eve was magical and I am so thankful for my family. Really sad to see it all end and already looking forward to next year!

This traditional gingerbread house, some of the candy goes on the house but most gets eaten by a few little decorators!!!! Oliver was very patient with Cohen while he tried so hard to be like his big cousin.


I think the hour we spent opening presents was complete chaos and excitement for these kids. It really is so much more fun to see the joy in their eyes when they open their gifts.

Sweet Berkeley must have carried this present around for awhile after dinner waiting so nicely for us to finish washing every dish the boys used to make dinner! Next year I'm doing paper plates so they don't have to wait so long.


Christmas night we had some friends come over and by this time Cohen was totally into opening presents!

We waited to give Cohen his presents from us until Sunday morning. He had already gotten so much and just wanted to make it last a little bit longer.





A new ATV from Grandpa and he thinks he is pretty cool driving it down the hall way, so cool he drives with his eyes closed and runs into the wall. I think we'll wait until we can drive outside with this toy!
