Family Pictures

OK so some of you have seen these pictures and some have not. Our friend came over to take some pictures of us. We had a good time with it. Of course the boys were perfect little angles, smiled at the camera and did everything we asked of them. HAHAHAHAHAHA. OK that was a good one!!! We had an even better time seeing all our facial expressions.

Since its Christmas Eve you can guess that these are not making it onto a Christmas card this year. But I had every intention of doing that. We have lots to do tonight. Cookie making, decorating and get ready for Santa to come. We will be watching our Family Christmas Eve movie with popcorn. And reading a few Christmas books to the boys. We will end the night with a reminder of why we celebrate Christmas and what it means to us. We can't wait.

I'm sure we will be posting more pictures in the next few days. We love and miss everyone very much!!!

Merry Christmas to everyone!!!!

So smart

Noah has been crackin us up lately. He is getting so big and full of information. Really, just ask him. He saw a squirrel running across the back fence yesterday. Got all excited to show us.
I asked "what do you think he is doing?"
Noah~"well Mom he probably looking for some acorns"
Ben and I just start laughing. And asked "how did you know that"
Noah~"Cause guys I'm pretty smart!!"

Christmas Lights

OK so everybody has had a good laugh with Ben's post now onto better topics.

We finally finished our Christmas Lights today. Actually Ben finally finished them (thanks Babe!) I just watched and took some pictures then it got to darn cold for Bryce and I so we heading inside. We went with new lights this year. We were not sure how we were going to like the red and white theme but turns out we do. YIPPEE!! No major casualties this year. Strike that, Ben did slip off the roof the 1st night he tried to hang them due to ice. But he didn't get hurt. No breakers have blown either, WOW we are on a roll. I'm sure Ben will add/buy more lights before Christmas but for now I think it is safe to say we are done.

As always Noah had a blast outside with Dad, climbing on the roof (slight heart attack for mom) holding lights for Dad, getting tools, just being Dad's little helper. Bryce started out sleeping but joined halfway thru. He had fun with his slide, taking tools from Noah, pushing Noah outta the way, he sure has been testing the waters lately. When the crying wouldn't stop we knew he was done.

I don't see a problem, Do you???

So shell seems to think that the stache has gotta go. I don't see what she's talking about. Truth be told, I want to get rid of it too but am keeping it longer to see how bad she can complain about it. She swears that she is gonna cut it off when I sleep. We'll see if that happens.

I have gained a new found respect with this thing. People are like Whoa! Check that out. They love it. I get free coffee now. I get to use a big boy voice and people just think I'm for real. It's crazy the perks I am getting all over town. I even have people calling me Sir, would you like fries with that.

Bottom line. I'm a new person. It itches like crazy, it's still weird to get used too but I get mad respect cause of it.....

Check it out and you be the judge. How can you not like it.
