Oh There's No Place Like Home For the Holidays!

We decided to put another 3,000 miles on our car this Christmas and drive back east! We drove to visit Ike's brother in Wisconsin, surprised my mom  and family in West Virginia and then went on to New Hampshire to spend some time with the Carr family! Oh and we made a pit stop in Ohio to see my brother and his awesome wife on the way home. It was an excellent trip!

A few fun pictures from Wisconsin! 

Cousin Joseph. So stinkin' cute!
 Cousin fun!

 Jackson loves snow.
 Brady, not so much.
Throwing the ball around!



 Happy Early birthday Ike!

 Joseph's  Christmas present! Dino-Joseph!

Jingle All the Way!

We are just a little excited for Christmas.

It's amazing what some quilt batting, red pajamas and a red cardigan can do for your Christmas spirit.

First Snow!

Who doesn't love that first big snow fall? There is just something so cozy about being inside a warm house and looking out your window at a snow covered yard. That plus all the Christmas stuff just makes me feel so happy. I think Christmas trees are the best anti-depressant. If I am feeling down I just have to look at our lit Christmas tree and I feel happy again. What is it about this time of year where everything really does feel magical?






 Snow Angels!!!



P.S Sorry for the lack of posts last month. Jackson accidentally broke my camera. I guess that is what I get for letting my three year old play with it though.

Little Monsters

Jackson recently discovered Monsters INC and Monsters University. He has been playing monster  a lot lately. We made these masks the other day and I actually threw Jackson's away yesterday because he was wearing it 24/7 and scaring people (like at the post office). So we returned Monsters INC to the library and got some Thomas movies instead. I have no problem with him "toot toot"ing at people in the grocery store.
