Traditional Christmas Eve Pictures

Every Christmas Eve, we try to take a "Christmas Pajama" picture.  As you can tell, this year was a little more challenging since Baine does not like to sit still and is constantly "on the go".  After MANY attempts, I think we got a winner! :)

Our "WINNING" picture :)

Sitting on the  chair didn't last long...

Baine thought the presents tasted good apparently.

Of course, the had a mini wrestling session while trying to take photos

Look at that grin :)

Beau did not want Baine to see the camera

2015 Christmas Card

Getting the perfect photo for our Christmas card this year was a little more challenging than we planned. However, the final product made it well worth the time, tears, and possible spankings :)

Santa 2015

I was surprise that neither of the boys cried this year when we saw Santa (at Mahaska Drug and at Church).  Beau did great! And Baine just wanted to pull on Santa's beard :)  Sorry Santa!

My Boys

Beau and Baine are so fun right now.  They love to play with each other, they fight, they cuddle, they wrestle, they chase each other around the house, and they HAVE to sleep together or they will not go to sleep.  Please don't let time go by any faster.

Just his normal attire :)

Working on his truck :)

LOVES to play Peek A BOO!

2015 Christmas Program at Church

I am happy to say that this year's church Christmas program went well!  Beau didn't trip Banx, and Banx didn't cry up on the stage :)  SUCCESS!  Beau was a pirate for his character, and boy did he get into it.  He kept telling me his hat was itchy, but when it was time for him to sing in front, he made sure to put his eye patch and hat back on.  He was too cute :)

Sleepover!

The other weekend, we had Banx and Bond over to stay the night.  Joe and I LOVE having the kids over.  Having a house full of kids who are running around, chasing each other, fighting, and then cuddling while watching a movie, is exactly what I want in my house always.  That is also one of the reasons Joe and I want such a big family :).  The four cousins are each others best friends right now.  I truly hope this never changes.  Even being an adult now, my cousins are still my best friends and I also want to hang out with them over my other friends.  Family is where it's at! :)

Banx's Dance Recital

Banx had her Christmas Dance Recital the other weekend, and she did such a great job.  I was so proud of her for being brave, and dancing on stage in front of a large crowd.  I think she likes the spotlight ;)  Beau loved to watch the dances, and even started showing off his own moves too :)  I think he gets his moves from his Daddy!
