New Toy

A f-150 ford truck! This was the big Christmas gift this year. They love our neighbors', and so, after finding a deal on Craigslist we went ahead and bought one for them. It was a hit! They love it! It will take a little while to learn how to stear and operate it. In fact, Eli, wanted Daddy to hold his hand while he was driving it. I think he's a little intimidated by it. It won't be long before he's able to operate it on his own. Connor loved driving it but would forget he needed to leave his foot down on the pedal and would start and stop a lot! He's learning!

Air Museum

When it's cold outside we are always looking for some fun indoors. So, Brad took Eli and Connor to the air museum. They loved it! There were plenty of things they get excited about...air planes, helicopters, jeeps, and cool cars. Brad said that they did really good. They were not allowed to touch and they obeyed that rule well in spite of the immense temptation to touch!

Snow!!!

The snow finally came! We were so excited to see it and it was a big treat when the boys looked out the window after their naps.

When Daddy came home from work we bundled up and headed out to play. We didn't get much...maybe 1/2"- 1"...but it was enough to have a snowball fight.

Such fun!! After we came in we enjoyed some hot chocolate!

Christmas

We love Christmas!  Traditions we have are doing advent…every night we sit down and light the candles of hope, peace, joy and love while playing out the Christmas story with the Little People nativity.  The boys love it and it keeps us focused on what’s important.  Christmas Eve we attend the Christmas Eve service at Fellowship and then come home for a ham dinner.  Christmas we have a big breakfast and big dinner.  This year we had our friends the Brown’s over to celebrate.  Thankful for Jesus’ birth!

Tummy time with Big Brother Eli

Eli wanted to keep Preston company while he was doing Tummy Time!

Great Sleeper

This little guy fell asleep on the way home from the store in his car seat. He slept for 14hours like this! I left him alone since he seemed so comfortable. He would bury his face into the extra soft and snugly liner of his hat. I just couldn't take it off him since he appeared to enjoy it so much! (Checked to make sure he was getting air)

I finally woke him up and he was bright eyed...sleep does a body good!!!

Sweet Love…

My good friend and very talented interior designer, photographer, very creative friend Sarah Pennington took these wonderful pictures!  There are SO many good ones that I cannot post them all.  I cherish these with my sweet little guy!  I wanted to capture some mommy time with him while he is so little.  Love my little man!
