Christmas!

Way fun Christmas!!! The anticipation up until the big day nearly killed Tate! He was soo excited and a lot of fun! The best part was having the babies this year! We didn't even get to see them last year on Christmas because of a nasty snow storm! Whit could even say HO HO Ho this year, and he knew right when to use it! It really was an awesome day. I have a million pics, but here are just a few!



I love it everybody under the same Christmas tree!

Whit never got off his horse, he loved it!!

Tate was like the Tasmanian devil going from one thing to the next!

Reese..she thought she was big stuff walking with her stroller!

I told you, he never got off this thing!

Sea toys, when Tate opened this he said."OH He got this at Toys R US!!!!"

This is just how I felt after all the festivities!

I LOVE this Wrangler butt!

Once Whit did get off his horse, I looked over and he was eating the leftovers of Santa's cookies!!!

Christmas Cheer!

I have to say, I have never really been a Christmas girl, I like Halloween, but kids make the magic of Christmas so fun!!!! I have kept my word about going all out, and doing a lot of fun stuff this year to make up for last year, and it has been a blast. We had our annual cookie party with Heath and Steph, and the boys, and my parents, we had the Hopes family Christmas party, a few parties with friends, a party with santa at Garwee's......we went to breakfast with Santa, and out to Thanksgiving point to see the Reindeer and the lights, and have a little dinner! FEEEW!!! And the best part of it all is that we were all there together, no running back and forth between 3 kids! The twinkle that is in Tate's eyes this year is awsome.... I am really starting to LOVE Christmas!!!!

Happy Birthday Babies!

Today is the babies birthday, and I cannot believe that they are 1 !!!!! What a year it has been...an up and down roller coaster of emotions in the beginning, and pure fun chaos since then. I have gotten choked up more than once this week. On the 1st of Dec, I kept thinking back to the panic that struck when we realized that they were coming sooner than we thought.

These two are tough, there have been very few days that I haven't thought back to the NICU days. And not one day that I don't thank heaven for being able to leave there as lucky and as healthy as we did. My heart drops when I see a baby with a helmet on...that totally could have been Whit, and every time I get Reese dressed and see her scar, I have a moment!

So today was celebration! We had a party tonight with all our family, A far cry from the whirlwind we had going on this time last year! I felt so lucky to be in the situation that we are in! Happy Birthday babies, WE LOVE YOU!!

Double Love It!!!!

Really I couldn't do it without Tate, he is so much help in the mornings, when I am getting ready for work! He wanted to feed Reese, so I got the bottle jumpd in the shower way fast and this is what I found!.....Double love it!
