December

Our Family had a great holiday season, but its hard not to really.  We are so incredibly blessed and nothing beats lots and lots of time with my sweet hubby and munchkins.  I have been so so homesick the last couple months not being able to visit my home town or family their but my heart has been overflowing with gratitude for my heavenly father and for all the little things i get to enjoy everyday, especially for the birth of our dear Savior. Having such a full heart made being away through all the holidays much easier for this country homebody:)  We stayed here in Omaha and spent the holidays all with Seths side of the family. It was both fun and absolutely insane, we laughed after news years that we needed a vacation after this break! Between overloading my self with photo sessions, Seth applying and stressing over residency programs, being sick and having a billion things going on with all his family we are grateful for the new year and for getting back into a regular routine not to mention tackling those new goals! Here are a few pictures from throughout the month..

Visiting the Hoopes in Iowa City before Christmas. The boys loved having a little snow to play in.

 Brig (half asleep), Gray( about to cry), and cousin Flynn (haha Brooke? i have no idea)..

 Birthday dinner for daddy @ red lobster.

 Gray ate nothing but made lots of noise that awarded us plenty of priceless glares:)

 Our brown eyes monsters Christmas morning

 The boys are obsessed with helping us do all outdoor chores, raking, mowing, shoveling snow ect. only having just one of every rake, shovel ect really makes for a long outing with everyone wanting to get in on the action. Santa brought the boys a shovel of their own this year and luckily a couple days later we got just enough for them to try them out..they were all smiles.

 We have had nothing more than a skiff or two of snow..its depressing really. especially over the holidays. Seth being the great daddy he is shoveled snow from all around so brig could have his wish and get buried in a snow pile. I dont think it was quite what he envisioned cause he still asks everyday several times if we can go to Wyoming to play in grandmas snow

 I definitely live in a house with ALL boys, and luckily these two fit well with me and seth cause lets be honest on a ice cold windy saturday whats better than snuggling on the love sac and watching LOTS of college football? ..not much..

 The boys readying stories together in their underpants:)

 Sick baby..we saw lots of this miserable face over the break. he had double ear infections as well as a sinus infection..poor little man

haha proof that Gravy boy LOVES climbing up and messing with the computer when were not watching (notice his footprints in the chair?) too Cute!
