Moments on a Monday

I just dropped the boys off at school. KC is playing with her Sesame Street toys. I can't help but feel a little sad that our break is over. Our tree is up, the lights are on and I have no intention of taking it down today. I love this feeling. 

I'm sharing a few moments from our break (in no particular order). Moments that I want to remember for the feelings of family, friends, and contentment they bring. 

decorating the tree - 

the boys couldn't wait for me to finish putting the lights on before they started placing ornaments

we made sparkly snowflakes

T decided to make a special one for daddy

Christmas cookies

the boys were very self-sufficient this year

a sweet unprompted moment crossing the street

nativity animals at church and slightly obsessed

new chair and a left over Santa cookie meant she happy for at least thirty minutes

no denying when she's tired

dad's pancake breakfast

jump houses to our selves

pizza uptown - they looked so old

nativity play practice and running through church

that shepherd is pretty cute

my favorite christmas day picture and what happens when my parents bring presents

i was totally against a baby doll

then this melted my heart

serious battleship match

new year's mr. t

pie face playing was the hit of the party

new year's peek a boo

the sparklers that almost weren't because we didn't have a working lighter

and a baby that wanted one so badly

Thanks for following along this past year! I appreciate all the support through the rough times and the shared joy in the happy ones! Here's to a great 2016!
