Christmas

so, two months ago it was Christmas. i gave the kids the gift of a mom with no voice. they should be so lucky next year. ;) it was a  bit non traditional, but the kids had both their grandmas and spent the day in the pajamas. we didn't have a traditional dinner either but mark grilled and we got to see some dear friends that evening for a quick visit.  

mark had a work trip to china so i entertained myself and took some pictures by the tree before christmas eve. i was glad i did it earlier this year! :) 

"For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counseller, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace." Isaiah 9:6

our sweet + spunky little 2.5 year old! :) hard to believe my "baby" is half way to the three. he is still super cuddly at bed time. he loves his "blanks" as he affectionately calls them. he loves to eat all foods and is getting into coloring and painting. he still hasn't decided which hand he wants to use. 

we celebrated valentine's day the way people do with kids! cake + candles!

it took a few days for us to sign all of our valentine's but this kid got it done. they were paw patrol of course. he also had his valentine's day party at school! love his sweet teacher! we also love our little cousin who is turning into a big girl herself. 

this right here. pretty much sums up life with these two. i never have a clue what they are trying to do but they seem to have fun together. until, they get themselves in a situation when they need me.

this girl celebrated her 100th day of school. she made this cute shirt with her gigi. me + gigi got to help out at her school with different activities for the occasion.
 
last, but not least the broncos won the super bowl! mark is still riding the high from that game!

avery lost her first tooth. it's also pretty apparent how proud her littlest brother is. it was also well documented. :)
