Bros

Caught these boys cuddling in Ayden's bed reading books together the other day. These boys are best buds!

Christmas '11

I absolutely love seeing my boys' faces on Christmas morning when they see that Santa has paid a visit! We had another great Christmas this year! We were able to have Grandma and Grandpa with us while we opened our Christmas gifts. This year Christmas was on a Sunday. The last time I remember that happening was when I was a child. I was worried that they day would feel very rushed, but it was really nice to go to church with our family and remember what were celebrating. Plus-these boys looked darling in their Christmas clothes!So very prego!

Twas' the Night Before Christmas...

Ellie and Grandpa started off our Chirstmas Eve with a few duet guitar and singing performances. It was fun to have them serinade us!The cute Ware kids These boys really are the best of buddies! Little twinners! I have to say that these Spiderman Cars were the hit of the holiday this year. Thanks Grandma and Grandpa! Colbs with his new dump truckColbs playing with his cute cuz, Addie

Annual Santa Breakfast

Once again, we had a wonderful time at our Annual Breakfast with Santa. I especially love it because I don't need to make the trip to wait in line at the mall to let the boys sit on Santa's lap! These kids sure do love their Grandma Betty, and they love this tradition with her!

Thanks Grandma!

Jumpin' Around

My friend Mel found this great place in Provo with big trampolines and foam pits. We had a great time there! The crew of trouble makers! Boy, do I love activities like this that wear these munchkins out! Ayden was so brave. He climbed and jumped with the best of them-no problem! It really surprised me! Sometimes he can be a little timid, but I am finding out that he

is a bit of a dare devil!

Our jumin' buddies-the Boogaards

Gingerbread Houses

Grandma Betty always makes sure these crazy kids have something fun to do when we get together. The kids always love it! Here we are making gingerbread houses. They turned out darling!

And it begins...

We started building our new home! We can't wait until it is done and we have our own place again! I am looking forward to choosing all of the finishes.

Long, Beautiful Hair!

It is almost impossible to get a picture of Colby with his eyes open! Colby wakes up with some awesome hair after naps! What am I going to do with this boy's hair!?

Winter Fest at the Ice Rink

How cute are these little munchkins in their skates? We took an evening and went ice skating with some of our friends. This was a first time for both of our boys. It was so fun, but so tiring! Our little fam. Kipp and I had the most sore backs and ankles after leaning over to help the boys and carrying the boys. It was exhausting!

Cool Uncle Ryan

My brother Ryan did an internship for Maverick during his last semester of college for marketing. He often had to go to events and do promotional stuff. On a couple of occasions, he ended up driving their big monster truck. Before Thanksgiving he brought it home. He was quite the hit with the munchkins in the family. He also got our family free tickets to a Grizzlies game over the holiday weekend.

We had a great time!

Here is Colby sitting with, of course, his favorite aunt "Nike"

The kids had a blast and thought Ryan was a pretty cool uncle.
