BOYS Only!

Since my brother-in-law Matt got remarried, we don't get to see Logan and Mason as much as we used to.  Boston misses them terribly.   So over the Christmas break my mom so kindly hosted a sleepover for the 3 of them.  (pictures courtesy of my Mom!)

Boston was in heaven.  

My Mom said he just acted so big! 

We met up at the new Scheels to pick him back up!  I've been wanting to go there since it opened in September!   

It was a really fun place! 

Thanks Mom and Dad for having the BOYS over!!

It's Bumbo Time!

Our little Cambridge man decided it was time to sit up in his Bumbo chair!
 

He loves it!  He is getting bigger, stronger, and cuter by the second!

A little Snow Time!

A couple days after Christmas me and the kiddos enjoyed some SNOW TIME!!  We ventured over to our old church and it was a fabulous hill!!
 



Then we came home and did some shoveling and had some more fun on our little hill 
 
 
  

Don't worry.  Cambridge stayed very warm and cozy!

The Garner Family Christmas Party

The day after Christmas was my family Christmas Party!!

All the kids formed a line to eat...  

all this yummy goodness!!! 

Oh ya, they were happy. 

After the feast each family had prepared a game to play.  All of them were so fun!  This one in the picture we had to draw on a paper plate on top of our heads!  It was so funny!

My parents surprised us all with Pass of all Passes!!  YIPEE!!! 

The cute grandkids!  All 11 of them! 

 And the adults too!

It was a super fun party and so very good to be together!  I especially love how all the kids just LOVE playing and being together.

Christmas Day!

Our Christmas Day was wonderful.  Boston was of course the 1st one awake, and him and I woke up the rest of the crew!!

They were so excited to see that Santa REALLY came. 

Hadley was so hillarious.  She was out of this world excited about EVERYTHING!  My favorite part was when she ran to the fireplace and yelled up the chimeny "Thanks Santa!" 

The gift that shocked me the most was the Spiderman dress up!  My friend found it for me at a Garage Sale for 2 dollars! It was Boston's favorite and he wore it the entire day. 

Cambridge really surprised me!  I didn't think he would care much about his toys, but I was wrong!  He loved touching them, staring at them, and grabing them!  It was adorable.  He went through about 4 outfits on Christmas.... I guess it was his present to us! 

I finally gave in and got the kiddos pillow pets... 

We were lucky enough to have my parents come spend the afternoon with us!  Grandpa put together their scooters that they raced around, and around the kitchen with!  Grandma and Grandpa also played all the new games! 

The kids were spoiled by Grandma and Grandpa and Cambridge is going to LOVE his McQueen swing come spring!!!  (I so can not wait for warmer weather!) 

Cambridge gets lots of these hugs everyday! 

After Grandma and Grandpa left we just enjoyed playing with the kids.  Jeremy helped put together Boston's Ninjago Lego set.  Ninjago is all the rage in Kindergarten ya know! 

Then we were lucky enough to have Aunt Megan come spend Christmas night with us!  She is always such a HUGE help to me when she comes!

It was such a nice Christmas spent at home, relaxing, playing with the kiddos, and enjoying what matters most.

Christmas Eve!

Christmas wouldn't have happened without my parents this year.  Jeremy got called to help his sister move into their beautiful new home on Christmas Eve... I wanted him to help, but I honestly didn't know what I was going to do.  I needed his help terribly.  Thankfully my wonderful parents volunteered to watch the kids while Jeremy was helping them move.  This allowed me to get a ton of stuff done so we could actually have a Christmas.  I never ever want to be so unprepared like I was this year.

When they all got back we headed out to Texas Roadhouse for dinner! 

The kiddos loved the peanuts and I loved my rolls and steak!  Yum!   Then we drove around looking at lights, and stopped to watch the awesome "Dancing Lights" close by. 

We came home and the kids opened up their gifts from each other.  It was the most adorable thing ever.  They were SO EXCITED for the other person to open their gift, and they were SO EXICTED about what they got!  They kept hugging each other, and thanking each other.  So cute.   

Mr. Cambridge rockin' his Christmas jammies! 

My favortie part was this.  Acting out the Nativity with Boston as Joseph, Hadley as Mary, and Cambridge as the Baby Jesus.  It was a priceless moment I will never forget.
The kiddos put out their letters to Santa, and cookies and milk (all thanks to my Mom and Dad)  Notice on Boston's he signed his Brr.  He thinks it is so cool to sign things with his initials.  He loves the fact that his initals say Brrrrrr.....  So silly.

The Rogers Family Christmas Party

The Rogers Family decided to have their Christmas party the Saturday before Christmas.  Jeremy's sister Jenn took the lead of the party and it was really fun!

It was an Ugly Christmas Sweater Party...

Bet you can't guess who won, with his homemade sweater. 

We ate good food, and hung out and visited. 

Then the kids and then the adults did a white elephant gift exchange. 

Then Jenn had asked me to be in charge of making gingerbread houses.  We all got on teams of 2 or 3 and went to town.   

Boston focusing on that frosting/glue! 

I think everyone really really really enjoyed the activity.  =) 

It was great seeing everyone!
