Christmas!

Well I can't believe it but Christmas is over! I swear it comes and goes faster and faster every year. We went to Odessa to spend Christmas with my family--we missed the Sills side though. But we did get to see Aunt Leslie because she and Dustin came to Boone's birthday party (but you'll have to wait for the next post for that!) We went home on Tuesday and came back yesterday so we had a great long visit with lots of family and really good food! :) It was so much fun to see Laney and Jake and Boone play together and to see how they interact with each other. They really get along good. The boys really don't notice each other too much. They just play along side of each other and hang out.....but Laney is a HOOT! She brings toys to the boys or takes them away and she bosses them around. It is hilarious and so cute! She is a lot of fun. Megan and Cory were there (of course seeing as how I have already mentioned that Laney and Jake were there) and my brother Houston and his wife Erin came in from Minneapolis and we had a blast with them too. We don't get to see any of them nearly enough!! Erin was so great with the kids (you two need to have one of your own soon!) it was such a big help! Boone got a ton of presents-- you all spoil him, in the best way! :) We had a great time hanging out with everyone and seeing his awesome grandparents, Grand Daddy and GiGi and Grammy and Pa Paw-- Boone loves you guys so much and we do too! :) It was a great Christmas but I don't have time to write about it all --I love all of you and I feel so grateful for the time we spent together. I had a really great Christmas and it's because I got to spend it with my wonderful family! I hope you all had a wonderful one too! Ok that's all for now I really need to go to bed, tomorrow is someones big birthday!

Check out the hole in his jeans.....it's starting already!!

By the end of the night all 3 were pooped out!! They couldn't even open all of their Christmas presents! I'd say it was a fun and special 1st Christmas for Boone and Jake and a great one for Laney too!!
