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!

I’ve been trying to get a good picture of the boys together. I haven’t had much luck! Someone isn’t looking, someone isn’t smiling, etc. Here are the two best ones I’ve come up with so far…
Fun at the community center with Audrey & Grady…
And now a ton of pictures from our day at the arboretum. It was a gorgeous day! The kids (and mommies) had a great time.

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…

We had a great day celebrating Cohen’s birthday. It started with him bursting through the streamers in front of his door when he woke up this morning…
Followed by a hallway full of balloons…
He loved the balloons!
Then we had his requested breakfast, “sprinkle doughnuts from the doughnut place by church.”
We had a few minutes to open a couple of gifts before his blast ball game. His most requested item for his birthday…a bow and arrow…
