V is for vacation!

the past two years we have lived in WV and have at most gotten three inches of snow. it was hard to feel festive during the holidays when its anywhere from fifty- seventy degrees outside. Especially when your used to ice cold wyoming winters with tons of snow. Well this year we of course moved because lets face it thats what we do best! we moved to the flat land.. aka..Nebraska. Seth had always said Nebraska has horrible winters blah blah blah.. i never bought it, i always though yeah right like it can beat a few feet of snow and -45 degree weather (which is what i was used to coming from Wyo) Let me just say..I WAS WRONG! no it never gets down to -45 but iit does get windy, and cold windy is SO much WORSE than dry cold. best way to describe SV cold v.s Omaha cold.. SV below freezing makes your bones ache and almost makes moving feel slow motion, Omaha below freezing bites you.. literally bites. ever had a mole removed? ya know when its so cold it burns.. yeah welcome to Omaha! It doesn't slow you down, it speeds you up. i swear everyone outside runs to get back inside..kinda funny. these are just some pictures from this month and some from our Christmas vacation.. vacation from hospitals, from school, from snow drifts, and from wind:)

Christmas clothes form Grandma and papa.. i cant get over this hat, love love it. and also love Gravys goofy face..such a clown:)



Brig sporting his new "Husker" Helmet and Christmas sleeping bag( cutest things ever!)

Brig thinks he is the next HEISMAN / HUSKER.. and of course daddy really hopes so:) funny story: the other day he was playing in his huskers uniform and he told me he was thirsty, so i got him a bottle of water and he says, mom i cant drink that water im a husker i need a green bottle (like the gatorade bottles all teams use) and then i have to open my mouth and squirt it through my helmet..he may have been a little exposed to football this year:)its so funny to me the things they pick up on.

Gray blown away by this toy.. so cute his eyes practically popped out of his head when we turned it on and the lights started changing colors

sitting in his BUMBO, eating his fingers..

brig opening everything he could find too open..

me and the hubs enjoying time together during the break it was so nice to be able spend time together, we even got to go on a date.. wow i know!! thanks mom and dad for camping out with brig (they slept in sleeping bags on the living room floor with him so he could try out his new sleeping bag) he loved it! and for listening for Gray so we could have a fun night out together.

boys entertaining themselves , Brig is such a tease but Gray doesn't mind, he s always just happy to be big enough to be involved:)
