Christmas 2012

Okay I totally needed some input on whether we should use this for our Christmas Card next year? Thoughts?? Not really of course. We attemped to get a family shot after the boys were already in their jammers Christmas night and this is what the product turned out.

Hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas!

December Festivities

We have had a blast in December so far! Tons of fun!


We went and picked out our Christmas tree!








We had our annual sleepover in the living room as a fam of "4" after decorating our tree.






We took Jackson, Ryan, and Kiptyn to the Salem Christmas parade. Might I add that they all 3 kiddos were awesome and sat through the entire thing. Santa even specifically blew a kiss to "Baby Ryan", it was so sweet!







Went to the boys' Christmas program at school. The "baby parade" took the stage first. It was so cute, their teachers decorated a few cribs and wheeled them all out on the stage. They had pictures of the babes and did a little speech about each of them. Very special!






Jackson's class were carolers and were bundled up to sing "We wish you a Merry Christmas". He did better than I had expected. He mouthed the words and finally after catching me in the crowd waved excitedly and started singing a little bit more. He did a good job!





Last Sunday when Josh was under the weather the boys and I met Mal and Pal out to see Santa and ride the train. Santa was not a success with Jackson, but the choo choo train was!








This December we've made a lot of special memories so far, can't wait to make more!

Thanksgiving









Here's our Thanksgiving Reel...a little late...


Love some Turkey day shirts!




After all that turkey, the boys and I took a walk around the neighborhood.




We "attempted" letting the kiddos nap together after lunch @ Mal and Pal's house. It was not a success.


Thanksgiving at the kids daycare was a lot of fun. We were going to get Kiptyn but he was snoozing. We enjoyed our time with Jackson, Ryan and the Randolphs at our table.

















Friend Family Thanksgiving: Thanks for hosting Dowdy family!











We had a wonderful Thanksgiving with family and friends!

Nothing like a little pigskin

Is this 1998 again?



That's right, these men are using the 3 year old's flags for some touch football.

Nothing like Nerf baby!








While the boys played, so did the little ones. I'm just warning you all "Sam is pretty good at some monkey bars"! That kid went across the entire thing by himself! Pretty impressive for a 4 year old, don't you think?





Not pictured is Charley and I pushing our babies in the stroller. We may have swapped and strolled each other's babies too. Us mommas have to get our stroll on.


















Good times, with even greater company!
