The presents



We had a small party for Jonas on Dec 13 inviting 3 of his "closest" friends. I took over 100 pics and only chose a few to share since it would take forever to put all my favs on the blog. The kids painted canvases, which they LOVED. Jonas has really been understanding what a birthday means (sorta) and has been singing Happy Birthday Jonas for 2 weeks now. His actual birthday is December 22 (tomorrow) and I can't believe my baby will be 3. More to come as we will have a small party on his birthday too. Thank you for all the gifts even if you were unable to be there. We love you!

Different Santa and tacky lights

This house is in Sherwood and was featured on our local news. We drove by there and it was just too much. The owner was dressed like Santa sitting at the end of his driveway. Super nice guy and seems pumped about all his yard decor!!

Breakfast with Santa

Arkansas Children's Hospital hosts a breakfast with Santa and this year we decided to go! I had already thought that Reese would be scared of him and I was right on target! Jonas enjoyed seeing Santa and even told him he wanted a choo-choo train.

family love

There are those sweet times that just melt your heart! BTW, I love that we had our first 2 children this close together. Don't get me wrong, I have just about lost it a time or two, but they are the best of friends! Since I don't have siblings, I just LOVE to watch them interact with each other!

Jason got a new job back in May, but didn't officially start selling bonds until August. His Christmas party was the first week of December and we got to dress up and enjoy a free meal!

The (not-so-fun) One-Ring Circus

Don't get me wrong.... not that it wasn't fun, it just wasn't fun for my toddlers! I miss the 3-ring show and all the characters and animals that go along with it. This was more personal with less circus people and the kiddos were ready to go shortly after it started. We stayed for 2 hrs and ended up leaving early. I would think that a 6yo would have loved it! It never fails that I take lots of pics where-ever we go, so here are some fun ones from our cold night out at the circus!

One Tacky Christmas!

These are a few of our pics when we were aiming for our Christmas card. Even though I printed plenty of pics for our cards, I ran out of cards. I plan on buying more this week. If you haven't received your card and you normally get one from us, hang in there! I hope to get them to you by the end of this week. I have started receiving cards from you all and I just LOVE getting them! Thank you for thinking of us this season!

Christmas Tree Farm

Of course my camera went dead right after we petted the animals at Motley's Tree Farm. What a disappointment since after we cut our tree down, we watched the pigs race! We went the weekend after Thanksgiving and had a great time there. They added the petting zoo and pic races this year. Oh well! You do what you can, right?

Thanksgiving Day Weekend

Jason and Jonas were playing a game and thinking of different foods to say outloud. It was funny! This is what they did while mom and I shopped at Garden Ridge.
