Our own little Christmas

This was our first year to spend Christmas with just us.

It was strange and a little lonely, but really wonderful too.

I have some work to perfect the dinner, our moms always make the best food.

But all in all Christmas was very magical and one of my favorite times of year!

Christmas eve was kinda a disaster. Mark had to work so I tried to make it fun and special

and we really only made a mess.

Boyce loved Christmas! He savored every gift which made Christmas morning last almost all day! And he hasn't stopped thanking us from his gifts.

So classic! There is the toy behind Eve but she is so happy playing with the box.

Old Town Christmas

made it & love it

who knew that such a little blanket would take sooo long to make!

Thanksgiving

My parents came all the way to Nebraska to

celebrate the holiday with us.

My mom came early and we went to Lincoln to the capital building and we shopped, and shopped and maybe shopped some more.

My dad came for the weekend and Eve couldn't

get enough of her "ba pa"

Thanks for coming!!

My mom is amazing at knitting and so sweet. She knitted this gorgeous dress for Eve!

beautiful fall

halloween cuties!

We enjoyed a couple different trunk or treats this year.

Boyce couldn't believe people were just giving away candy!

It's the only way we got him to dress up.

Kids make holidays so much fun. Every year it's more fun!

We stayed home and passed out candy on Halloween

boyce loved that too!

Boyce was complaining about his wedgie all night.

of course the hat didn't fit!
