Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas! Especially to all of our family!! We hope you are all having a wonderful Christmas Season! We miss those of you not close! Hope you enjoy these pictures, Coen was just hamin it up, Emma would get in on it some, but not as much! It was so fun! Enjoy!

We have the cutest kids on the planet! They just make you want to kiss their little cheeks!!

Cousins and Trains!

Cousins are so fun! This last week we got to visit with David and Sarah and the kids while they were here for a few short days! It was so nice to see them, we hadn't seen them since last Christmas, so the kids have changed a ton! Coen was so overly excited to see Brennan he could hardly stand it! They played together really well this time, no fights! It was great!

Emma and Connor had fun drawing together!

Coen and Brennan playing trains and cars!

One of the days Bob and Cindy took everyone to see the trains at Northpark Mall! We did this last year too, it was a lot of fun! Coen asked for days after to go and see them again!

Coen was just in awe the whole time, he was just turning his head and trying to everything at the same time, it was funny! He just didn't know what to look at! He was so cute!!

Parties!

We had an eventful Saturday! First Saturday morning our ward had their primary Christmas activity! It was a lot of fun! The kids got to decorate cookies for themselves and for the fire station. Then we took the cookies to the fire station and sang Christmas songs to the firemen! It was a lot of fun, and I could really feel the spirit as the kids sang to them. It was really great. Later that afternoon we went to Lukas' 2 nd birthday party! To those who missed it, and there were a bunch, you really missed out on seeing such a sweet boy! He is so funny, and sweet and cute, and just a joy to be around!

Coen enjoying his cookie, and he really did, his teeth were even red!

Emma wasn't so into hers, she ate some, and the rest went on her shirt! Good thing it came out!

This was Lukas' cake, my mom made it!

He walked around for so long chewing on his car! He was so tired he could hardly stand it!

He eventually fell asleep!

Blowing out the candle!

See how cute he is! He was playing with my mom and laughing! It was adorable!

This was cute! Lukas walked into a table he didn't know was there earlier in the night and bonked his nose! So here, he was standing at the table and carefully bonking his nose and saying, "bonki nose". It was so cute! He loved the sound of his shoes on the hard floor too, so he would walk really loud and stop and laugh, and just do it all over!! He is such a doll! Sorry you all missed his party, I know its a hard time of year, everyone is so busy! Maybe next year! Happy Birthday Lukas, we love you so much!

Baby Slings

So I was looking at someones blog and they had this posted, so I though I would give it a try! I have been wanting a baby sling, and with baby # 3 coming soon, it would be so fun to get one! I really like the Claire sling! It is so cute!! Check them out at modmum.com!

A Celebration!

I just wanted to let everyone know of a special event coming this Saturday the 13th!! From 5-8 pm at The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints building at 1019 Big Stone Gap Duncanville, Texas 75137. We are celebrating Lukas turning 2!!!! We are so blessed and thankful that he has made it to his 2nd birthday so we are going to celebrate big!! We are going to have a party with music and cake and ice cream! So Everyone who has thought, prayed, asked about, donated (in anyway, including donating for the bake sales) to or for Lukas, or if you have just wanted to meet him, Please come out and do so! Everyone is welcome! Thank you for everyones continued support and prayers for him, he still needs it! He is doing really well, but the chance of the cancer coming back will always be there.

Oh Christmas Tree

Well most of you know that my family has this wonderful tradition of driving out to east Texas and cutting down our own tree. My family did it all the years I was growing up, so I started it when Doug and I got married. The kids just love it!! They have so much fun, Coen loves helping cutting it down and dragging it up to pay! Its so much fun! Robert and Melissa started going with us a few years ago, and I think they have just as much fun!! So here are some of the pictures!

Coen was trying to catch up to help drag it!

We picked a mammoth this year! It is so big!!

Coen and Clara trying to lift it!

There she is!

Decorating it!! The kids had fun with this, if you come over you will see it looks like it was decorated by the kids!!

We put out all of our decorations, it was so much fun!! I just love Christmas everything about this season!!! Come on over and visit!!!
