Christmas! and early 2013

We hosted Christmas Eve again this year and ate a casual dinner of chili, cornbread, and banana pudding.  We spread reindeer dust in the front yard, opened a few presents, and just enjoyed each others company.  Justin and Grandpa put together the mini fusbol table I found for Cole and Kellen, which was a big hit.

 Hey Maddox! We decided for sure on his name by Christmas.  Other names on the short list were: Adler, Alden, Gunnar, Lochlan, and Liam.

 My sweet boys <3 nbsp="">

 After they FINALLY got over the shyness, Cole and Kellen performed a few of their Christmas songs they learned  at school.

 "I just hung up my stocking, the biggest I could find.  I had to use my Mommy's; I hope that she won't mind.  I wrote a note to Santa, so he'd be sure to know... I want it filled with lots of toys and candy in the toe!!"

Merry Christmas Morning!!

 Nina and Pops' house

 He ain't right

 Very serious conversation with Suzi.

 The Smith's house

 Getting some mama love :)

 Best friends!

 New Years party with friends.  Love these kids

 I am not up on the gaming, but this was pretty cool.  Kids had to actually move to make their character move and they were putting on a dance show!

 He never could refuse a pretty lady, let alone 2 ;-)

 And that's what moonshine does to you!

 The kids had fun crafts and games and snacks every hour until midnight :)

 A little down time to watch Brave.  How cute are they?!

 And the adult games commensed.  Dont ask!

 Flag football was interesting for the boys this winter.  They had very little understanding of what they were doing and it was FREEZING!! They did, however, have a great time and learned a few things along the way.  It's all about fun and exercise!

 The mouth pieces were a requirement and they really made me laugh :)

 Cole also played basketball.  He got the hang of it by the end of the season and really developed a love for playing.  He says its been one of his favorite sports so far.

 No words necessary

 So I don't generally take pictures of myself in the bathroom :)  A friend from out of town made me promise to send her a preggo pic and since I took VERY few, I figured I would throw this in there :) I think this was about 35 weeks.

 Donuts to celebrate the end of flag football season :)

I'm trying to get caught up!!! MAYBE once I get caught up I will actually post these in a reasonable time frame!
