Christmas Morning





Another year goes by as does another Christmas! Kids had a blast this month with all sorts of holiday parties and having a good 'ol time with friends and family, what matters most to us! Just wish we could be at all our families homes at one time, but that's just not possible! Have a great one, we sure did!

Happy Birthday Brady!


The thumbs up says it all! A new bike for his birthday! He has graduated to a full on 20" people! He loves it, he has been racing all over the court everyday!


Here he is taking a hard turn off the sidewalk into the street! Yes, those are his PJ bottoms!

Another super cool gift was a can of black olives from his cousins: Ryley and Sean! Great sense of humor!

Getting ready for Christmas


The lights went up last weekend, as well as the tree and the indoor decorations! Every year the kids seem to get more and more excited about Christmas, which is a great and fun for them. Its relatively fun for Melis and I as well. Its for the kids right!?!


We also have our yearly tradition of mailing out some 80 letters to our family and friends. Now this process is alot of work. From getting just the right picture, printing it, updating the addresses, placing the return and recipient labels on the envelopes, then printing the letters, folding the letters, getting the folded letters in the envelopes, oh...stamps too and finally, getting them to the post office! The picture above is what a 5 and 4 year old will do with 100 envelopes, of course, make a huge trail in the house! Enjoy the letters because we love doing them, contrary to what it might seem like a pain!
