Happy New Year!

We kicked off 2017 right with a New Year's Eve party at the Ware's.  Surprisingly enough, we all made it to midnight!  Maybe I'll do better with the blog this year...we'll see!

Christmas

Christmas on my real camera...

Cole and Jenn came the week before Christmas and stayed for a few days.  Mia went waaayyy overboard with the gifts again.

Cole and Jenn got him real dog tags and an army hat and flashlight and canteen.

Christmas at Gigi and Papa's

Rhett made a fort out of presents.

Christmas morning.

She makes giving gifts more fun than anyone I have ever known.  She immediately loved everything she saw under the tree.  Rhett coming down the stairs saw that he did not get his top gift (a giant ankylosaurus ((his favorite dino-impossible to find)) and he began to mumble and grumble.  "That's not what I wanted," and "The elves didn't get it right."  ME found his ankylosaurus (he got one is was just a smaller version) and brought it over to him where he had crumpled on the bottom step.  Thankfully Brad caught all of this on video because it was incredible hilarious and cute and sad at the same time.

She loves her new cozy sleeping bag.

Christmas was almost ruined, but he "got used to it" and "kinda likes" it now.

She totally missed the ginormous gymnastics mat behind the tree.

He guesses his ankylosaurus will do. ;)

One of my most favorite Christmases ever!

When we are home alone for lunch, Rhett moves 2 of the chairs from around the table and calls it our "two person lunch." Love him.  Like the nutella and marker on his face?
