Yikes.
These are all out of order, but they pretty much sum up our hectic month!
My sister took out to the desert and shot us. With her camera. She's our go-to family photographer. I love that she loves my kids and they love to see her. Especially when she takes them to explore in nature.

| I love that this is really what happens behind the scenes. Momma is holding stuff. |
I ran my first 15k! The kids made signs with Grandma Marie the night before. They also ate all of my chocolate that I received in my finisher's mug.
We took the boys on the Polar Express again this year. This time my parents came with us since they had yet to go.
 |
| We didn't take the boys to get pictures taken with Santa this year because they didn't want to go. Evan instead wanted to ask this Santa to take a photo with him instead. When he did, Santa turned him down. What kind of Santa is he?! |
Tok came this year again, right after Thanksgiving. He brought snow covered donuts and a note for the kids.
The boys were really into helping us decorate the tree. I think we only had about 4-6 broken ornaments in total this year. Not too shabby!
Mommy cuddles. That is all.
E was also big on writing letters to Santa this year. He must have written 3 or 4 to him.
 |
| "I want a toy sword and all the Chuggintons please!" |
 |
| "I want a new dog that looks like Layne. that is all I want for Christmas is baby cars. Daddy and Evan and Mommy and Grayson and Grandma and Papa." |
 |
| "Toy sword. Please give this to Santa." |
E's kinder class sang Christmas songs. It was the most darling thing I had seen all year.
We went driving around town looking at Christmas lights several times. This one was the kids' favorite. Why? Because the inflatable Santa kept pulling his pants down.
These two boys sure do love each other.
On this night, G did NOT want to sleep in his room. He was adamant about sleeping in his brother's bed. Yes, there were a few giggles, but they did a great job. Plus, they looked so sweet sleeping together. I'm hoping this happens more and more.
I think we started a new tradition for New Year's Eve...bowling! It was a bit last minute, but we had a blast. I'm hoping we can get more of our family members and friends to join us this year. But at the same time, it was nice with just the four of us!
This carousel is always a hit at Grandma Marie's. The boys will watch it and watch it and watch it!
