Christmas Fun!

My best friend Kayla and I on Christmas Eve! Love you Kayla!!!

sledding at the orchard

Today we finally made it in the hills to go sledding and it was so fun i think we will go again tomarrow!  Ayden has always loved it but this year is the first year Gavin has liked it, we couldnt keep him of the sled this time!  It more like sledding on ice than snow but they loved it all the same even when they crashed and fell of off the sled! 

         Seth got a new bow for hunting so we went up to target practice too, but with the old bow since the new one isnt here yet, but im excited because the old one is mine now, if i can shoot the thing!  i had to work tonight and when i got home all the boys could talk about was getting a bow an arrow like daddy so they could shoot turkeys and daddy deer.  by the way, the only thing they want ot watch now is the outdoor channel hunting shows, oh my, it has begun already!  Im so out numbered,(wouldnt want it any other way) good thing i like to hunt too!

Christmas

The new puppy Snow Buddy!

Merry Christmas!  We had the greatest christmas!  Chritmas eve seth surprised the boys and I with a new lab puppy!  he is so cute, his name is Snow buddy!lol  The boys named him after the snow buddies movie,   too cute!  We went to Aunty Kayla and Uncle Jasons house and had desert and the boys exchanged presents!  Then we had a few martinis and played some games!  It was so much fun and the kids had the best chritmas eve ever!  Then we came home and put the boys to bed and got ready for christmas morning.  We got up early and did stockings and opened presents and my mom and grandma came over!  What a haul the boys made, oh my!!!! yummy prime rib for dinner and a good christmas movie, Chritmas Vacation, we watch it every year! 

Ayden's Chritsmas party

On Monday Dec. 21, Ayden's preschool had thier Christmas party and it was so perfect!  It was all of the classes together so my boys were very excited because their buddies Konner and Chase were there too.  All of the class got to make christmas cookies and do some christmas crafts and all of the kids were so good.  After all the crafts were done they all got on stage and sang about six songs and they all had little dances to them, Mrs. MacRae is so wonderful!  Ayden did so great with all of his songs and stayed up there right where he was supposed to be and so did Konner!  They were too cute and it was so precious, i video taped it all of course and saved Aydens little reindeer antlers.  I  only wish Seth could have been there, he had to work:( thank goodness for video cameras and pictures and thank goodness for Kayla so we could take turns helping the boys.  Oh how they grow up so fast and how wonderful every little bit of it is!  i am such a proud mama!:)  Merry Christmas Everyone!

The Holiday Season

This is by far my most favorite time of the year!  I am so very blessed  to have my wonderful husband and two beautiful children.  We are so thankful for our families and our precious friends, we love you all! 
 

Tis the season!  We are ready for Christmas and the boys' birthdays.  We have all of shopping done for both since the boys' birthdays are both in january, we always do all of our shopping on black friday! We also had the pleasure of seeing Santa Clause and the boys got thier pictures taking with out shedding one tear, much better than last year, yeah!   We also have our outside lights up and our tree.  The kids are so excited they cant hardly stand it and ask me everyday if it is christmas yet, i love it so much!  We are stayingn home this year for christmas with my mom and grandma and having christmas eve with our best friends and their boys. 

Besides getting ready for the holidays we have been busy winterizing everything going up in hills to play in the snow and collect pine cones for bird feeders. 

Ayden is doing great in school and learning how to read.  He brought home a book from school yesterday and read it to me, i cant believe it!  They grow up so fast and I love every minute of it!  Gavin is already recognizing most of his letters and what they stand for thanks to his big brothers help!  i have to say i am a strong believer in preschool now, i love "I know i can preschool"! 

Happy Holidays and hope you all have a beautiful Christmas!
