December


Playing memory with Daddy

Today was the first time Anders was brave enough to actually drive the John Deere!

Jaden and Anders love riding the "tractor" with Daddy!

Thursday, we met Spencer when he got off the bus at his house and brought him to our house to play! -After a milkshake :)

Got our Christmas cards ready to send out!

Afternoon Christmas movie and popcorn!

Spencer and Parker got to spend the night Saturday night! They played all over the house and then after baths, we went to the shop and played ping pong. For supper we had French toast, pancakes (some with blueberries) and bacon. They all cleaned their plates!

Nana and Papa Joe were out, so they stopped by while we were watching Arthur Christmas and eating popcorn and cookies.
The boys started off one way, and ended up another. At least they all slept through the night! :)

Ready for church Sunday morning. So handsome!

Sitting with Mimi and Pops, watching the Christmas program at our church. 

Monday morning brunch at City Cafe with Papa Joe!

The Farmers Federation was in the Christmas parade this year! The kids had so much fun!  


We finally retired the Monkey Boots. They were tough!! Now we have Lightning McQueen Boot!

Brad's beautiful work with our Christmas lights!

After we dropped Jaden off at school, we  went to get new tires put on my car. While we waited, we called Mimi to see if she wanted to have some company, while she was out. Luckily we got to stop by Krispy Kreme for a treat!

Part of our Sunday School class, during our Christmas party. 

Anders kids at Aunt Merrill's Annual Christmas party. 

December 14th, we had breakfast with Santa and got our face painted!



After breakfast, we came home a watched How The Grinch Stole Christmas. I love this time of year!

Hobson Family Christmas party
Jaden did so good at his Christmas program Sunday night!

Brotherly love right here! Sharing a milkshake!

I don't know how there is any candy/decorations on this Gingerbread House! But we finally completed it!

December 18th, we found out we ARE going to have a SISTER!! Jaden's been telling us for 5 months now that I had a sister in my tummy! We can't wait to meet Miss Cora Lynne Crow in May!

Making pink cupcakes for our "reveal" party!

Jaden sang so good at his dayschool Christmas program! Brad and I are so proud of him.

Wednesday night, we had a birthday party for Jesus in Mission Friends!

Our first time to EVER go shopping for a GIRL!! Anders wasn't sure what these things were...

Going to see Christmas lights. Had to have our popcorn in the car! (and all in the carseat...)

I've been noticing some decorations were missing recently...

SWEEEEET brothers :) 
They make me happy 

Mimi and Pops took us to The Zoolight Safari at the Birmingham Zoo! It was so much fun!

They play so well together

We had ALL of our family Christmas parties at our house this year! It was so much fun having everybody over! Probably won't do it again though... :)
(I will post another blog entry with more pictures from each party)

Jaden watching Home Alone for the first time! His giggling the whole time was priceless. Glad to have a new Christmas movie we can all watch!

Anders Christmas!

Faucett Family Christmas party

We forgot to take our Christmas morning picuture, so we had to take a Christmas night picture. I love these fellas :)

The day after Christmas, we went to the beach for a few days! It was a nice break with no worries. 

Eating at Cozmo's
Scoops at the Condo!

Being silly on the beach

Thankful for technology on night rides home!


2013 was a fantastic year! Jaden and Anders have grown closer everyday and love playing together. I can't wait to see what 2014 brings. Can't wait to meet little Miss!
