A Great End to 2014

We celebrated the second half of our Christmas break in Florida with family.  Our trips there are always fun and it was awesome to watch all of the kids play together and swim.  It was a great way to ring in 2015!  We’re really looking forward to Bryan and Becky’s wedding this spring and can’t wait to hang out with everyone all together again.

The Beginning of Our 2014 Christmas Vacation

We’ve officially started our Christmas vacation and it’s been great so far.  On Christmas Eve we went to a beautiful church service and came home to eat, play and wait for the arrival of Santa.  Christmas morning started at 6:30 with two very excited little boys.  It was so fun watching them open their presents and to see the looks on their faces.  Definitely one of the coolest parts of being a parent.  The four of us are really looking forward to this next week and I’m sure will have lots of fun pictures to share!

Here are our top 5 of 2014:

1. Hayden started Kindergarten

3. No more training wheels or water wings for Hayden
4. We celebrated our 10 year anniversary
5. Bennet began his first year of preschool

2014 Santa Visit

The boys had another great visit with Santa this year and were very excited to tell him all that they wanted for Christmas.  Bennet told him that he wanted a monorail and Hayden said he wanted a rainbow loom.  After we met with Santa and played around in the Bass Pro Shop, we picked Daddy up from work and had a nice lunch.  It was a really fun morning out, and now we are very excited to celebrate the birth of Jesus and wait for Santa to visit our house.
