merry christmas

from our house
to yours

being merry

we spent the REAL Christmas day at my mom's house

 

as always

she did a great job of playing santa

and making sure everybody had exactly what they wanted

we spent the entire day
hanging out

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

and enjoying all of our presents

 

 

with the pogo sticks
being the favorites
BY FAR

thanks for a fun christmas, mom!

family
and
A NEW CAMERA LENS ;)

i'll let the pictures do the rest of talking

snow fun - cousin edition

just in time for us to visit

wisconsin got hit by a snowstorm

the timing was PERFECT

it gave the boys something to play in

  

 

which gave us a quiet house ;)

Christmas #1

before heading to wisconsin
we had a Christmas morning of our own



the biggest surprise of the morning came when
one of the boxes started RINGING!!!!

we now have a 6th grader
WITH A PHONE!!!

he was just a little excited!

ben's favorite gift was a dwayne wade shirt



and alex's favorite gift was his ripstik

but somehow i missed out on getting pictures of him
outside in 15 degree weather
trying to master using it.
must be because i was busy doing the same thing ;)

instead ...
i got a picture of him with his 2nd favorite -
his beywheelz

all in all -
we have 3 happy boys
and our Christmas celebration #1 was a success

jump! jump!

before leaving for wisconsin
we met up with the lees.
with them being in michigan
and us here
we don't get to see them often enough
BUT
when we do find the time
i love it!

we decided to spend the night at 2 of our favorite places.

we started at skyzone

 

 

 

and ended at tavern
our favorite restaurant

we tired the kids out,
got some time to chat,
and had some great eats!

thanks for a great night, lees!!
