Bailey and Sadie Bryn's Blessing

For Valentine's weekend we went to Houston for Ben and Erica's twin babies blessings. Cheryl was so kind and got us a hotel room so the kids could swim. All the kids had a great time swimming with their cousins and the adults had fun snuggling with the babies... they are SO cute!!

Here are some pics of the kids swimming in the pool:

Sadie Bryn had fun hanging out in the warm pool area.

Janae loves to swim and has gotten very good at it.

Tanner and Janae could pass as twins, they are close in age and look alike.

Sandpaper, wood, wheels, paint, tools. These are all things that were all over the house for WEEKS because of the pinewood derby! Jaydon was SO excited... it was pretty ,uch all he could talk about for weeks. Jared seemed to be just as into it as Jaydon. These boys are like 2 peas in a pod. Jaydon had a great time making his car with his Dad.

Christmas Morning

We are pretty lucky. Our kids don't wake up too early on Christmas morning. This year they woke up around 7 which was nice. Megan and Chris spent the night and the kids were pretty nice and let them sleep. I heard them playing with Magnetix in Jaydon's room for awhile before we even heard them. Here is what they woke up to:

Stockings

Sweet Sisters

Dad and Janae opening up their stockings

Jaydon has been doing SO well with his reading. Right now his favorite book series is "Ready Freddy" he was very excited to get some of his favorite books!

The girls are always posing for the camera.

Mom with her kids

Our Family

Megan and Chris opening their presents. It was nice to have them, they are so much fun!

The kids patiently waiting to open their gifts. In our family we go in turn youngest to oldest. The kids are great waiting for their turn.

Jaydon wanted this nerf gun SO bad and his sisters gave it to him! He was very excited and started shooting everyone right away.

Each kid got a game, Jazzy's was Trouble. (probably because sometimes she is trouble!)

Jaydon got Life which was a favorite of mine as a kid.

This year Jared took the kids to the store and let them pick out their gifts for me. Jaydon got me a blanket and these flossers. Janae got me lipgloss for every day of the week and Jazzy got me Pink tennis balls which she was SO excited about.

Aunt Avlee bought me these cute cowboy boot slippers- the kids thought they were funny!

Janae's game was Guess Who and Megan played it with her lots that day.

Janae has been quite the writer lately. Jared's gift says, "To dad from janae I mad this gift for you" and this is exact spelling. It was very cute!

Jaydon got his dad screwdrivers and Jared loved them!

This year we went really light on Christmas. We decided that we were going to get one big family gift. The kids were excited and wondering what it was....

It was a new T.V. for our office!!

After they played with their toys for awhile we headed over to Nana and Papa's house for dinner and presents. That post to come next!!

Christmas Eve with Friends

For the past couple of years on Christmas Eve we have been invited to our friends The Bontragers house. Colleen makes a great dinner and reads a Christmas story. This year it was really focused on Christ and was very sweet. Then the kids open their traditional Christmas pajamas. It was nice for me to come and just sit and relax since I was recuperating from surgery done on the previous day. We had a great time and always enjoy our time spent with our wonderful friends and their family. We are blessed to have them in our lives.
