Sleeping Beauties

Dressed Up

 

After finally waking up this morning, Daddy got Alex dressed.  But Alex had other plans, he wanted to wear a tie and get dressed up for Brenna.  Alex and Brenna have been had a little thing going on for quite a while now, and he's just trying to keep his swag up.  So, today he wore his new tie and cowboy boots that he got for Christmas.  I Love It!!!

Good Morning or Not

 

Amelia was all smiles this morning.  Alex on the other hand wasn't feeling quite the same!!  It's hard getting back into the swing of the morning routine after being on Christmas vacation!!

All Smiles

 

Tonight we headed to New Berlin to have dinner with the family once last time before Jordan and Barbara headed back to Ohio.  This picture pretty much sums up how much fun we had with the family!!!

Let's Celebrate

We celebrated the New Year in a pretty low key fashion this year.  Both kids went to the Dr this morning, as they've been snotty, coughing, and not 100%.  We were told it was just a virus, but they did give Alex a steroid to prevent his lungs from getting wheezy.

So, we spent the evening baking chocolate chip cookies and watching movies.  Mom and Dad were even in bed before midnight!  Yep, it's official we're not quite as cool and hip as we used to be!!

That's OK, because we've traded our late nights out for snuggles and laughter that we wouldn't trade for the world.  We've been truly blessed this year.  It's gone by extremely fast, and I'm excited to see what the next year brings for our family!!

Hanging with Family

Uncle Jordan reading Thomas his story about helping another little boy.

Today we headed back to Nana and Papa's house so we could visit with Uncle Jordan and Babs. They spend Christmas in Ohio with Barb's family.  Instead of giving presents to the kids, they donated money to other needy children.  They made each of them a story book showing them how the donation made in their honor helped other children. It was really cool, and hope that we've planted a seed that giving back is so important.

We had a relaxing day just hanging out and visiting.  It's always nice when the aunts and uncles with no kids come around and entertain the little ones.  It's always a welcome break!!!
