Merry Christmas!

So, work has been a little busy for Brian and I. We tried to pre-plan a lot of activities so we had a fun holiday season with Cian. Just forgot one little thing - to ship our presents out in time. Yikes!

boxes ready to be shipped

$444 dollars later- ugh! Next year, we ship via mule in November

This little boy was super excited to track Santa on Norad

Super excited!

 

Video of Cian, on Christmas Eve

Santa came!

Christmas morning and one excited little boy!

Daddy got a star wars toy - oh, I mean Cian!

Loving the rug for his cars that Santa brought

Such a mild December that people are golfing, in shorts, while we open gifts!

Off to g-ma's house- just want one nice picture Cian!

I think this is the best I am getting!

Playing our new game "pie in the face"

I didn't take a lot of pictures this year - was too busy enjoying the fun! Sorry!

Christmas at Pop pop and Grammy's

Our Christmas card!

So our Christmas card this year got messed up. Ordered them on Dec 6. Some people got them after Christmas, some are still waiting. Bummer!

Our first holiday concert!

Our first holiday concert!!! Cian never sings or dances. But we have been practicing. And hearing about the grand finale- a hard song you have to sing with Attitude! We are just happy he finally got the words to the Dredel song correct- for a while Santa and presents made an appearance in that song!

we were expecting Cian to be the "statue"

Here is the long, but super cute video:

Santa Visit

Here is our visit to Santa - no tears this year!!!! We didn't want to sit on Santa's lap so the stool in front worked just fine!

holiday arts and crafts

We got awesome Christmas crafts this year from Cian! Love these!!

This is too funny!

Nice smirk!

Come January 1st, its healthy eating time. The card reads: I love you mom and dad because you let me eat gummies and cookies. Awesome parenting!

I have been dying to do something creative to forget about work, so made these cute teacher and co-worker gifts!

Yummy!

Army Navy

Army Navy this year was a little different. First, it was like 65 degrees out so we didn't know what to do with ourselves. And I had to work the suite at the Linc so no fun drinking day for me : (

Maybe next year we'll take Cian

Video of Cian rooting for Navy!

I am at Army Navy and not wearing socks!!! CRAZY

Never have been in the stadium early enough to see this stuff!

Cute view!

December fun

Couple of funny random pictures

This is how we found Cian asleep one night!

Baking cookies with Cian!

Text between Brian and I when I was traveling and Brian needed to get Cian to school earlier than normal...

Christmas parade

Getting into the Christmas spirit - went up to Noel and Kristin's for their town's holiday parade!

Seriously, trying to get these 2 to smile...

Santa arrived! Their reactions are priceless!
