Holidays 2013

 Our holiday was pretty low key this year!  We had a wonderful get together at my Aunt Jenni and Uncle Doug's early in the month...and I didn't capture photos (I've been horrible about remembering!)...but I certainly look forward to getting together again next year!!  

Next up Christmas Eve.  Gigi came over to watch the boys open gifts from her.  It was mayhem from start to finish...almost bedtime and dinner time all in one. But we were able to enjoy ourselves and both boys were blessed with amazing presents!!

 This goes along with an actual tool bench.  Both kids got a tool belt and special tools.  They always want to be like Daddy when he gets out his drills and screw drivers.  So this was a great way to make it happen!!

Santa came!!

 Merry Christmas Morning :)

After we opened, we did a quick sweep of the house, Jer started a beautiful fire and we prepared for our Linley crew's arrival!  By 12:30pm our house was hustling and bustling and I wouldn't have had it any other way!! We had appetizers for lunch, opened a flurry of gifts and enjoy each others company.  It was so chaotic though that I was unable to get any photos of anything!!  Cost of being the host I suppose ;) Regardless it was a great celebration with all the wonderful people we love!

We headed off for Grandma and Grandpa's house that afternoon and it was much the same!  A flurry of opening, delicious food and wonderful loved ones all around. I did get a couple photos...though they do no justice!!

This about sums it up!!  Cooper crashed on his favorite chair at Grandpa's...and I think we all felt about the same!  We put the boys in PJ's, visited awhile longer and then headed home.  We capped off our night by popping in a movie on the couch as a foursome.  Both kiddos crashed and we were soon to follow!

Christmas 2013 was pretty awesome!!  We are so blessed to be loved by so many!!

Happy end of 2013 and welcome 2014!!  We're excited about what you have in store for us!!
