Christmas Season

Cooper was our first round of basketball this year, and he loved playing, he is our most obsessed with this sport with the other two not far behind :)  Cute coach too huh!

We had fun doing holiday baking.  I made peppermint popcorn this year by the vats for friends and neighbors.

This little one finally decided to walk at 21 months, and as ran head first into terrible twos.... he knows the word NO way too well!

The boys were excited for the first decent snow and the first school delay for it... I wish every school day started a few hours later.

We spent another Christmas at the Ranch.  This year with the owners :) 

They each have their own unique pose in this picture :)

Christmas day my little soldiers got fully outfitted as a yankee and a confederate :)

Mimi got this little car, it has been fun for all of us as it holds up to 220lbs.

Missy made the boys BEAUTIFUL quilts this year.  Both her an my mom have gotten into quilting the past few years and we are reaping the benefits :)

The whole gang, this will sound funny to some but a small group for Christmas dinner as we usually have extended family that come over for the meal and evening. 

We headed to Memphis for a few days on the drive back home for some time with my family and the newest addition.

We also go to see my Gyn and Pere.

AND most importantly to celebrate my dads retirement from ExxonMobil!  Woohoo!  We are so excited that he is able to retire and live back on this continent and spend more time with us!

The boys were bummed to miss the BIG snow that happened in Indy while we were gone, but we came home with lots still on the ground to play with.  Joel didn't want to take his snow suit off once inside.... I guess this is better than fighting me to put on his coat and snow suit.

I hope you got to spend your Christmas break celebrating with family as we did!
