These boys can play with their legos for hours! They have so much fun building things with their daddy! My big girl trying out her sippy cup for the first time!

We absolutely had a wonderful Christmas. As the kids are growing Christmas is becoming more and more fun. The boys were very much into all things Christmas this year. It was so neat to see them get excited about the Christmas tree and Santa. But it was also so neat to see them understanding more of the true meaning of Christmas. My children amaze me daily and I know that I am so blessed.
