Our Christmas Card

Merry Christmas!!!
Let's just pretend you received our cute family picture in the mail along with a wonderful letter. I didn't quite get around to doing it this busy holiday season, so this is what you get...and you even get it after Christmas.
Hope you had a fantastic Christmas and have a Happy New Year!

All I Want for Christmas...

...is two sweet little boys!
I wanted to wrap them up and put them under the tree.
I was emptying out some boxes the other night and Benson wanted to sit and play in one. I put Owen in the other box and they were just as content as can be. Really, who needs toys when you have boxes?!


I tried taking pictures of the boys in front of the Christmas tree. They weren't as cooperative as I'd hoped,
but they're cute anyway.



I'm not sure what they are looking at.
There must have been something exciting on the TV.

Here's Benson sharing or taking.
I'm not quite sure which.

And again, sharing or taking?
I'll give him the benefit of the doubt and say he must have been sharing...since it's Christmas time.

Ornaments are always good for eating.
Look how cute they are holding hands.

Mom & Owen

Owen loves to yank on all my ornaments.
That's why I put some down low that he can play with.

Even when times are hard I always think about how very blessed we are. A few of 'Santa's helpers' came by a few days ago with some 'gifts' for our family. Thank you to those who are so willing and happy to give. We love our family, friends, and neighbors. Hope you have a Merry Christmas.

What cute Elves!

I just love these 'Elf Yourself' things. Try it. Remember to pause my playlist on the sidebar. Enjoy!

Christmas Decorations

I love decorating for Christmas...especially the outside of my house. I took pictures of everything with and without the flash.
I think it looks better without, but I decided to put both up so you could see it all.{The whole house}

On Saturday my mom, my sisters, and I got together for one of our Christmas traditions. We make goodies.
Here's what my sister Jena made.A delicious Candy Cane Cupcake. I'm not a big peppermint fan, but it's so good! And the cute little 'Day's till Christmas' Santa is a gift from my mom. Hallmark is her favorite store and I love that she buys us cute stuff from there.
