Christmas Morning

It does not matter what the gift is that Santa leaves it is all about the face of the child when he sees that Santa has been there. This year both the boys had a priceless Christmas morning. They woke up at their normal 6:30ish. Tyler came running into our room and Carter started yelling for us shorly after. They were so ready to see what Santa had left for them. Once we got downstairs and Tyler saw toys he looked up in the air, raised his hands and said, "thank you Santa!" He looked at the plate where there once was cookies and was so excited that Santa had eaten them! The only thing that was left was the ranch for the reindeer. Tyler says they must be allergic to ranch! They had fun tearing open the gifts and playing with them in between. Santa left a Razor Scooter for Tyler, a keyboard for Carter and a Shake em up track and cars for both of them. Just when they thought it was over we looked at the fireplace and saw that Santa had filled the stockings too!
Time to head to Nana and Papas to see what Santa left there..................





what were we thinking.........

Christmas Eve

It was the night before Christmas and all through the house not a creature was silent not even our mouse!
We had a great Mexican theme Christmas eve with Memo, Great Aunt Janice, Great Uncle Lex, Cousin Jake, Uncle Chad (Tyler got to pick him up at the airport!!) Nana, Papa and us! Fajitas, Margaritas, and lots of presents! It was a great start to the marathon of Christmas that is about to begin!

Now it is time for the good stuff!

Let the blogging begin!

My early new year's resolution is to keep up with this blog!!! I started it about a year ago, but this is my first post.
We have been so blessed this year with all of our wonderful freinds and family. I am so happy to have just finished my 1st full year of being a stay at home mom (and business owner!!!) We could not be happier! Tyler (4) is such a big boy that does not even need him mommy anymore! Carter (20 months) is following in big brothers foot steps. We got his cast off yesterday whoo hooo! He is still limping, but the dr said he would do that for a few more weeks.
The boys are so excited about Santa coming! They have been awesome this year so I know Santa will be good to them.


my sweet boys!!!
