The Holidays....

It seems that the end of the year is our family's busiest time of year. Everyone's birthday falls within a four month period AND Christmas!!! Whew!!! It just flew by!!! It was quite exciting that I had this Christmas off, because it was a Christmas that both boys could really enjoy.  We spent Christmas Eve and Christmas Day in Pleasanton with family. It was so awesome this year because Jacob really got into it... he would constantly talk about how Santa Clause is his best friend. It's now May and he still wants to read Christmas books!!! Above is our attempt at a family photo, for a card... for those of you who got that Christmas card, I apologize. LOL For those of you that didn't... here is what you missed...

Story of having two kids... one was happy, one was not! Or they were both insane... (I guess I should be happy that we got one of the four of us looking at the camera!

 One thing that they both loved was decorating the Christmas tree. Jacob really liked to put the ornaments on nicely, whereas Brayden liked to throw the ornaments at the tree and hope they stuck. Again, another difference in their personality! But one thing they have in common is they are both completely adorable!!!

 And we did our annual Christmas tree hunting!!! The boys had a great time, but as I recall Everett and Jacob both had breakdowns, but Brayden was all smiles. It was mostly dirt so he was happy!

We saw tons of family and it was great for all the boys to hang out!!! They really make the best of friends!! And of course all our little boys looked so cute all dressed up for the Christmas Eve festivities!!! They are just so dang cute!!! All THREE of them!!! We could not be more blessed...

The best thing about the holidays hands down was watching the boys have all the fun!! They got bikes and toys and clothes.  Spoiled rotten of course, but as Jacob would tell you, "It's because Santa is my best friend and he loves me!"

Favorite picture of the holidays!!!
