Grandma B Turns 90!

Grandma B turned 90.  She is truly an incredible woman!!  We celebrated at Legacy with family and friends.  Grandma B loved it!!

 The photographer got a lot of these photos...He had about 5 cake pops!!  They were within arms reach so it wasn't entirely his fault.  He's the cutest....

Christmas Day

When I was little I thought that Christmas was AMAZING.  And it definitely was.  But, now that I have kids it's even better!!!  Kids make it even more magical, if that was ever even possible!  Lincoln was so into Santa Clause and everything this year and it was so fun.  We started Christmas Eve with a letter and treats for Santa.  Linc dictated what to write and it was so sweet.  

  Christmas morning was wonderful.  Linc got his remote control car and his scooter and he loved it all.  It was so fun to watch his excitement!

 Griffin loved it all too!!  He loved his airplane and gloves the most.  So sweet!!

 Us kids made a book for my parents and they loved it!

 Mom outdid herself with breakfast!  Delish!!

 Next we drove over to the Mellors and enjoyed a delicious Christmas feast!  

 Brett made a puzzle with pictures of highlights from the year for Claire and she loved it!!

 Watching a movie with Papa...
