Projects...

So many new projects, so little time... I found these laser pegs (light up legos) on Amazon and the boys are loving them! (And yes, Conner is wearing a Darth Vader costume.) We love winter break!

Merry Christmas!

Christmas morning is here and we are all excited about what the day will bring!

We opened presents and spent the day playing with the new toys and games. Nana made us a wonderful meal and we all enjoyed Christmas together! Thank you Nana and Gramps for a wonderful Christmas!

Christmas Eve!

Christmas Eve is here and the boys and I spent our morning packing and when Nick got home we made our way to Bettendorf. We went to church where the boys got to participate in the service again this year. They always love that! Then we hung out at Nana and Gramps' for the night! Before bed, the boys sprinkled some reindeer food for the reindeer and left some cookies for Santa and they were off to bed! Hard to believe that tomorrow is already Christmas!!!

Our Christmas!!!

Today is December 23 and that means that today is the day that the four of us celebrate Christmas in our home! The boys wrote letters to Santa asking to be elves, so our elf, Eddie, brought them certificates from Santa making them honorary elves! Ben and Conner were very excited! We kept ourselves busy this morning while Nick was at work, but by the afternoon, the boys were getting a little impatient to open presents!

When Dad got home, it was finally time to open some presents!!!

After dinner, the boys spent the night racing away! Nick and I had a wonderful Christmas with our boys!!!

Circuits...

Conner and Ben love the circuit sets they got for Christmas! They spent hours this afternoon experimenting! 

Christmas in Conrad!

We went to Conrad for Christmas this weekend! On Saturday night, we all got to open presents and enjoy the great food that Mama had prepared! The boys had so much fun!

On Sunday the kids got some play time in and we enjoyed the morning. It went by too quick, but by the afternoon, it was time to head home and get ready for our last week of school before winter break! Thank you Mama and Papa for a wonderful Christmas!!!

Festive Hats!

Conner and Ben are loving their hats and are waiting patiently for Dad to get home so we can go to Conrad and celebrate Christmas with Mama and Papa!
