Christmas!!

 We had a nativity Christmas Eve. Kaden and Gavin were wise men. Rylee was an angel. Sidney Mary, Porter Joseph, and Gavin baby Jesus. They all did a great job and looked so cute all dressed up and acting out while my dad read the story of Jesus' birth.

Waiting on the stairs to see if Santa came!

 Gavin thoroughly enjoyed himself from the bouncer, holding all the new toys he got.

Even with all the new toys he got, Kaden still wanted us to bring the race track down so he could just play with that. Uncle Stu had a fun time playing with him.

All tuckered out by the end of opening. It's so hard to be a tiny guy. 

Both boys got spoiled lots but who could resist they're such good boys! I love Christmas and the magic it brings. I'm grateful for my Savior and His birth. Grateful for families that we can spend eternity with.

How our days are spent lately

We have a lot of fun around here with these two boys. We are getting so excited for Christmas. Having kids at Christmas is the best!

Gavin's Blessing Day

Gavin's blessing day was so wonderful. Kaden had a sleepover at my parent's house so it was very low-key here. We enjoyed our morning with Gavin then got him all dressed and ready for his special day. He was so good during all of church, including his blessing. When he started to think about fussing during the blessing my dad gave him his pacifier and he was happy again. What a sweet boy. We all came home and had lunch after and enjoyed the celebration. We ate a yummy lunch and Allen took some great pictures in the backyard. How great it is to have our family all close to share in our special occasions and be there for each other. I feel so blessed today that the Lord has given me two great boys. I am so grateful I get to be their mom. I can't believe the tremendous love I feel for both of them, it is indescribable. Kaden has done so amazing through all of the changes he's had. He's the best big brother ever. I can already tell these two are going to be the best of friends. We love you Gavin Chase and are so glad you came to our family. Daddy gave you such a special blessing today that we will always remember. You are so loved.
