Happy New Year!!

First of all...Happy New Year to all! I am so excited for 2013, but don't want the time to go by too fast because that only means that our boys will be growing up too.  It means Cash will be 1 and walking, and Colton will be 3 and potty trained and before we know it they will be in school and some days I would agree that I am ready for some quiet time around the house, but as I have experienced already, it seems as I was just pregnant with Colton last week!! 
Second of all..I must apologize. I have slacked in a BIG way of keeping up with this blog, but good news....New Year, New Me!! I have committed myself to at least one blog each week.  It may not be as fancy or entertaining or inspirational as some/most of the blogs I follow, but more as a timeline of how fast Cash is growing, what Colton is doing that he shouldn't be, and how we are surviving along the way.  So here it goes!

Getting in the Christmas spirit around this house was quite entertaining and fun! It had to be started off my getting our Christmas cards in the mail by Dec 1st and I met my goal, but my pictures nor card met the Pinterest expectations I had in mind that I had been pinning for the past month.
I did capture several great photos that we will all cherish forever!

Cash was loving the photo shoot because he had his clothes off!

Larry didn't enjoy it as much as Colton did!!

 This is how awnry Colton is:)  Tell him to say "cheese" and smile and it

turns out like this a majority of the time!

Then an almost perfect, but definitely good for me:)

I thought it turned out great!!

Time to decorate the tree.  We ended up decorating the top half only after the first night of Colton playing with Matt's collectible sports ornaments.  They usually ended up in the Nativity Scene along with Thomas the Train going thru the stable, along with Jesus on the back of a train and even had a picture of Matt and his brothers in place of the 3 Wisemen...Classic! How did I not get a picture of this?

Cookie baking time with Mr. Matt Crocker.  4 hours in the kitchen and a lot of help frosting and eating from Colty, 13 dozen cookies were made from scratch to share with our families on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day.

Wildlife Prarie Park had a great event for the kids which included meeting Santa, decorating cookies and eating with the elves and Mrs. Clause, choo choo ride to the North Pole, making reindeer food, and even feeding the "reindonkeys."  We had a blast with Colton and can't wait to do it again!
