Year In Review...in pictures

Christmas!

We had such a great Christmas this year.  I have to admit I am finally starting to feel more like I have my own family now, having two kids.  Christmas morning Jake and I got up around 8:30 and waited in anticipation for Carson to wake up.  He didn't wake up until about 9.  We told him that Santa had come! (he didn't really understand, the only time he saw Santa this year he cried hysterically.  it was pretty traumatic for all of us :) )

But he still came with us to the family room to see what Santa had brought him!  Carson was the perfect example of how kids should act on Christmas morning.  Every parents dream.  He was very excited to open every present and with each present he was extremely excited with what he got and wanted to play with it right away.  It took him about a half an hour to open them all. 

 Meanwhile, Dallas was still asleep so we all opened our presents and then began to open Dallas' for him.  then he woke up and I piled his presents on him to get a picture.  He was VERY happy as well!

 we are so lucky to have these two little boys.  I love them so much it's insane.  I never really understood a parents love until I had kids of my own.  now I know what it means to love someone so much it hurts.
 
we had an amazing Christmas this year! I hope you all had a great time too!
