Merry Christmas

Christmas Eve
We spent Christmas Eve with the cousins, as is our tradition! It's always a fun time when these crazies get together 💓  








The kids picked out gifts for each other and actually exchanged them before Christmas Eve. It was sweet to see what they picked out for each other and the excitement after they opened them!





Saying thank you 💗






Leaving special treats for Santa and his reindeer!

Santa was very good to these babies 🎅





She loves her first little jewelry box!










The princess got her castle...and some guards along with it 😊








Sleepy boys watching a movie on their new bean bags.

We had quite a different Christmas this year. Nonny and Poppy came down with what we assume is the flu, so we couldn't go up to see them like we normally would. It was also HOT! I was somewhere around 70 degrees and sunny. At least the boys were still in Christmas colors! We headed to the Eaton's again to help them break in the trampoline Santa brought 😏

Taco picnic under the trampoline!






Love my baby girl!!!






We made so many sweet memories this year and loved sharing Christmas for the first time with our sweet Emmy girl. I hope to always keep Christmas magical for my babies. 


As we look back on the past year, we see how incredibly blessed we have been. Things didn't always go perfectly "right", but look at how we grew as a family. 2016 brought us our princess and we were able to watch the sweet boys grow and learn and become even cuter and smarter (if that was even possible 😉). Some of my favorite moments this past year...taking the boys out for their special day on their birthday, Fisher's hospital stay (while not fun at all, was something to remember), welcoming Emmy Jane into this world and seeing the boys completely starry-eyed over her, going to the pool and watching J jump/spin off the diving board and wear out the slide, J "rolling" into the ocean, Fisher starting preschool (and loving it!), the cutest dinosaurs and lamb there ever was, the magic in the boys' eyes seeing Santa, and sweet Emmy girl blowing kisses 😘 How in the world can this year be topped? Good luck, 2017!!!
