I always look forward to Christmas, but this year was extra special. For the first time in the 11 years that we have been married we were at our house on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day with just our family. We started our festivities on Christmas Eve with an early dinner with some of our dearest friends. Christy and I whipped up an awesome dinner complete with ham, cherry sauce, mashed potatoes, mac & cheese, bacon wrapped green beans and rolls. It was delicious!
The kids table. They were so cute…
After dinner we stopped by Starbucks to pick up some drinks and headed home to open our Christmas Eve gifts. Cohen was super excited when he opened his (although I’m not sure he really knew what it was at this point in time).
We all had fun drinking with our crazy straws!

Just wanted to share some of the Fall/Halloween fun we’ve been having lately! The boys both decorated pumpkins for the pumpkin decorating contest at preschool. Cohen decided to do a “Mr. Pumpkin Head.”
Keegan’s didn’t have a theme…he just decorated his own with marker and some stickers…
Both the boys loved playing with the silly glasses given to Keegan by Mrs. Denise…

The boys started preschool this week. Cohen was really excited about going back and excited to see some of the same kids that were in his class last year.
Here’s Keegan with his teacher, Mrs. Denise…
He LOVES her. He spent the whole drive to school this morning saying, “nise, nise, nise” over and over again. He did great when we dropped him off, no crying, just walked right in and started playing. That was nice, made the transition easier for us all!
Here’s Cohen with is teacher, Ms. Kathy…
He also did great and has really enjoyed being back. He refers to himself as one of the “big kids” at school. Each day he’s told me how he watched out for Keegan and how he helped him down the slide. Awww…melts this momma’s heart!
We’re looking forward to a great year! (And if you’re interested…Christian redid the preschool website this year. I’m partial of course, but I think it’s amazing!)

Although our summer is not quite over yet, I think this will catch me up to date. Whew…note to self: don’t get so far behind on blogging again!
Being silly in the tub…
The past several weeks we’ve been going to an open play time at the Grapevine Community Center. This day, Audrey was taking Cohen for a ride on her motorcycle. Can they get any cuter?!?
Fun on the boogie board…only wish we were using it in the ocean!
Cooling off…
Right now the boys both love to help me clean…I’m documenting this for future reference.
