Christmas 2013

 We had a very exciting Christmas! The weeks leading up to Christmas were kind of rough. We had the flu go through our whole family. I was sick two days before Christmas, so it kind of messed with our plans, but over all, it was a great holiday! Christmas is such a special time of year, I love it. I love having lots to do, people to see, and lots of fun things planned with my kids. I started thinking that I should do a year long advent, we have so much fun doing little activities, or crafts, or going somewhere! Above and below are pics of the boys playing their new Wii game. Eli is just learning, but he is OBSESSED. It is pretty hilarious to watch the boys play together, they have a lot of fun and play really nicely.... for the most part. Their little faces are always so serious.

 On Christmas night, we had my brother and his family over for dinner. We laughed a lot, played games, and of course ate way too much food and treats! Below, another picture of Eli in a trance while playing the Wii. We couldn't even get him to look at us for a picture.

 Will was super excited about his new Lego Ninjago set, we had fun putting it together, together. :)

 Look at those missing teeth! Again, playing the wii, but at least we can get Will to smile!

 My boys love their cousin Denver. They think he is the coolest. Eli always follows him around and wants him to play (and snuggle) all the time. It is fun to have older cousins that my boys can look up to, play with, and have fun with. Plus Scott and I love our teenage nieces and nephews, they are seriously hilarious!

 My parents got everyone in my family a Washington DC sweatshirt for Christmas since that's where they served their mission. They are super warm and cozy, we love them! And, even better, my parents just got home last week!

The day after Christmas was really snowy. My boys took full advantage of the warmer weather and played in it for quite a long time. They are always so cute when they are all bundled up! (Above)

The weekend after Christmas we headed to our cabin. It was freezing cold, but so much fun as usual! The boys love to play out in the snow, and this year we bought a snow mobile, so that was definitely the highlight of the trip. It is so beautiful at the cabin, we love it!

More cabin photos to come...... Will loves sledding on the tubes and riding the snow mobile. We have the perfect sledding hill just outside the cabin, it is so fun for the kids and the adults! I laugh so hard when stick our kids on tubes and send them down the hill and then we just stand and watch them bounce around. Such great parents.....
