Christmas 2012

The boys first Christmas! Well, it was a blast, even though they had no idea what it was and could really care less about opening presents. They were spoiled rotten, and now they love each of the fun toys that they got.

We got to spend a lot of time with both families, and my mom and dad were able to watch the boys for a night so we could have a little get-away for my birthday. It was amazing to have an entire 24 hours just to ourselves. We had such an amazing time and we plan on doing it every year...that is if my parents are up to it! They said they loved every minute, and I think they were telling the truth!

Here are a million fun pictures from our trip!

Thanksgiving 2012

Thanksgiving was awesome this year. Honestly, I didn't lift a finger! Cody was the chef of the day, and he did so amazing. He smoked a turkey and it turned out amazing, he made the best parmesan mashed potatoes, whipped sweet potatoes, and homemade stuffing. Our good friends the Holdsworth's and Jeremy came over and brought rolls and pie. I couldn't keep my hands off the rolls! Everything was so tasty and we had such a good time. Crystal and I even played rummikub, my favorite game.

Of course, the day after Thanksgiving is the big decoration day! It was so much fun to get all of the Christmas fun out, especially my new nativity I got last year. The boys tore down the stockings right away, so they are now taped to the bottom of our television, and the bottom 1/3 of the tree doesn't have any decorations on it. The presents are already getting unwrapped, and I couldn't be happier! It is so fun to have these 2 little crazies crawling around and grabbing all they can get their slobber-filled hands on.
