Christmas was wonderful in our home this year! Filled with all the things the Holiday season should be filled with! Love, laughter and the making of memories together with our Family! My boys clearly made Santa's nice list.. and, ToysRUs and Kohls clearly are much richer because of it, but I digress.
Christmas Eve we spent at my Sister's house exchanging gifts with my wonderful nephews. There is nothing greater than seeing the excitement in Owen & Aidan's faces when they see my nephews! They adore them, and my nephews are so incredibly amazing with my boys! I'm so thrilled that we have all boys.. I can't wait to see them grow up together! They will be the best of friends!
Christmas morning was perfect. I expected there to be tears and meltdowns at some point, but both boys were awesome! Owen was excellent with opening gifts! I really didn't have high expectations.. I figured maybe a few, and that'd be it! But, he was great! It was really nice being able to enjoy that time together.. the hustle and bustle of the season can get overwhelming at times, but seeing the excitement on Owen's face that morning was so worth it!
We rounded out the day with Christmas dinner at my Aunt's house. There's probably 25+ of us that get together for dinner. It's an amazing tradition, and one I hope we continue to do for many years to come!
New years was also very relaxed for us. I took Owen with me to do some shopping earlier in the day on NYE. I win Mother of the Year award for taking him in to the liquor store to buy Sparkletini and happy new year hats, but whatev. Jason thinks taking a picture of Owen with the alcohol bottle was worse than bringing him into the liquor store.. he actually said "don't post that on the internet or it will end up in one of those 'parenting fail' articles".. oh well! I contemplated waking them up at midnight to celebrate, but then opted not to.. I value my sleep A LOT, and didn't want to risk them not going back to bed.. plus, they have no idea what the new year even means..!
2011 was amazing.. I married my best friend and shortly after found out we were pregnant with Owen.. 2012 brought us the most amazing blessings.. the birth of our Owen, and finding out we were expecting again! 2013 brought us our Aidan man.. the sweetest little baby that just fills our hearts with joy.. I can't wait to see what 2014 has in store for us! Whatever it may be, I know it'll be a fantastic year!
