Christmas 2013!

 Christmas Eve finally arrived! Jim got off work around 2:30pm and we headed to VB to be with our family. We went to Joe and Tammy's house for a visit with Brad and Michael too. 

 Then we went to Pops and GoGo's for a special Christmas Even dinner! 

 Look at all those stockings! 

 The boys sprinkled reindeer food in the backyard after dinner! 

 Then we headed to the living room to exchange our gifts!

 Our first year with Will and Alicia! YAY! 


 The boys changed into their Christmas jammies!






 We had so much fun watching each other open gifts and so blessed to receive so many thoughtful presents. 

 On Christmas morning, the boys come wake us up before we head downstairs to see what Santa left! I love Andrew's crazy hair and face at 6am!
 Santa surprises for the boys!

 Andrew had a "Monster Truck" Christmas with Hot Wheels and some fun surprises like Perry the Platypus. 

Christian had asked for a remote control helicopter and the Star Wars Lego kit. Santa was great to include some great surprises like new Wii games, Harry Potter movies and a book on Architecture. ;)








 Andrew saw that Santa ate his cookies and drank his milk!










We had a fun Christmas morning breakfast with family!
I am so blessed to have Jim and my boys and all our wonderful family!
Merry Christmas!

School Christmas parties!

 We had a big of having Andrew's Christmas program and Christian's school party on the same day!
Andrew made me this sweet little ornament at school and I LOVE it!

 Andrew played the part of an angel in his Christmas program. He is the sweetest! Christian also played an angel in his Tiny Tots program when he was 4. So neat!
 After the program, his class sang "Happy Birthday Baby Jesus" and had cake. 
Then they had a gift exchange!


 It was fun! We came home and took a quick nap before heading up to Christian's school for his party!


 Christian was really happy to have us come and watch him do his crafts and games. 
I love seeing him interact with his friends. 

 Christian sits next to a sweet little girl, Lily, that he really likes. He wanted a picture with her. ;)

 After a busy day of school parties that was on my actual birthday, Jim came home from work and surprised me with flowers! LOVE HIM! 

Then that night I met up with some of my gal pals for dinner at Bonefish Grill! It was so yummy and I was so glad my friends came to celebrate my birthday with me!

My birthday celebration and Sharum Christmas weekend!

 This year we celebrated my birthday with family at the MovieLounge!

 GoGo and I even came out wearing a similar outfit! HA! What's the saying about men marrying women like their mothers?! ;)

 The boys were so handsome!

 Christian and John chose fun desserts! It was a great time!

 The next day, we headed to Uncle Rob and Aunt Janie's house for Sharum Christmas!





 Santa came for a visit!








It was so fun seeing the cousins get their gifts and have fun playing together. Janie works so hard on our special breakfast and it was SO good! It's always a fun family tradition!
