We had a wonderful Holiday Season this year.   Because of the many different celebrations we have had in the past two weeks, I decided to publish a series of posts.   We started off the season on the 22nd with our annual cousins gingerbread house party at Aunt Amy's house.   Everyone brings some candy or frosting and the gingerbread houses are made with graham crackers glued together with a hot glue gun.   My boys love this tradition and it is always exciting to see what they create.   Such different personalities in this group!   Thanks, Amy.



We then had our "Weeks" family christmas party on the 23rd.   This year we are going to be with Erik's family for Christmas.  I forgot my camera, so no pictures of the family party.  We had a great "dinner" which is mostly appetizers and it was delicious, of course we all ate too much.   The cousins exchanged gifts and Grandma and Grandpa gave them all fun sweatshirts.   Thanks for a great party everyone and for the fun gifts.

Two Weeks in a Row!!!




I have to say, I LOVE our new family tradition.    The boys have done the dishes for two Sundays in a row!  Thanks guys!

Ok, I can't help it.  I have just decided that I have the cutest baby ever, clogged tear duct gunk, messy face and all.  (I have to add a disclaimer.   The tub pictured above was scrubbed clean the day before this picture was taken, yes it needs some caulk, paint, completely new tub, whatever.)   And, maybe you can't tell he is sporting a sleek new hairstyle, but Laurie gets credit.    Goodbye mullet.
