Happy Birthday Jesus!

We celebrated Jesus' birthday at my mom and dad's house on Christmas day. The cousins all had fun revealing who their secret Santa was for this year. Never a dull moment when we're all together!

PS Wy and Jerry aren't in the picture because they are the picture takers. Wyatt got a cool kid camera from Mimi that he wouldn't put down.


We're so lucky that these kiddos all play so well together! Brody and Wyatt are always very excited to go and see their cousins.

I thought this picture was cute because Natalile, Tatum, Brody and Wyatt all have their own little Baby Jesus that they are going to sing to. Happy Birthday Jesus!!!!

Christmas morning with Mimi!

Mimi had a family get together at her house on Christmas Eve after mass, but sorry to say I didn't take a single picture from that evening. So, here are some of Christmas morning at our house. We had Mimi and Jerry's sister's family over for breakfast. Here's Wyatt eating Baby Jesus' chocolate birthday cake!

Brody loved his gift from Aunt Tammy, Uncle John, Jena Sara, and Devin. A new Star Wars video game for the XBOX 360!

Here's Wy Wy with his puppy that Mimi got him. He named this puppy Hot Dog. It looks so real...it's chest even moves up and down like he's breathing! Since we don't have a single real pet my boys love their puppies and zhu zhu pets. Maybe some day we'll go for the REAL thing!

Cookies for Santa!

The boys were sooooo excited to leave a note and cookies for Santa! Brody even remembered to leave carrots for the reindeer.

They both heard jingle bells from Santa's sleigh and wanted to quickly get in bed and go to sleep so Santa wouldn't skip our house. Too funny!

Christmas Eve Mass

My family always attends the children's mass on Christmas Eve. The kids loved the puppet show and play about Baby Jesus. We're so blessed that we could all be together on this special day!

We were so happy that cousin Devin wanted to join us for his first time attending church. Afterwards he said his favorite part was learning how to pray about things he's thankful for. How sweet!!!!! These boys have soooo much fun together!!!

Christmas Eve with Grandpa & Ronnie!

We had a delicious breakfast with Grandpa and Ronnie on Christmas Eve. We were so happy that Jerry's sister Tammy and her family could join us too!

After opening gifts, we headed to the park because it was such a beautiful day! The boys had an amazing time playing together.

Grandpa even got in on the fun! He didn't let the fact that the week before he had a pacemaker put in...AND he'd just gotten out of the hospital two days earlier because of a blood clot in his arm! We pray for him every day. xoxo

Christmas with Mama & Papa!

We celebrated Christmas with my mom and dad on Dec. 19th. We had them over for dinner and they brought all of Brody and Wyatt's gifts. The boys couldn't believe their eyes!!! We'll celebrate with them and the rest of my family at church on Christmas Eve and at their house on Christmas day for dinner. The boys can't wait to sing Happy Birthday to Jesus and have chocolate cake!

Here they are with their stacks of boxes to open. Wowzaa!!!!

This was the look on Brody's face the whole night! He was so thrilled to get this new Bobo Fett costume!

The boys LOVE their new play huts and their Star Wars costumes!!!!
