Christmas Holiday

We had an exciting and busy Christmas break! Grammy and PapPap came for a visit. They took the boys to the movies, created in the kitchen, saw Santa, visited the Festival of Lights in College Station, and more. They even came up to Mommy's school to give out gifts to her students! I don't know who was more excited - Ricky and Everett or the students?!? On the 23rd, we took the whole family to the doctor's office to see an ultrasound of our baby and learned we were having another boy - Sawyer James! The boys were a little disappointed to learn they would not be having a sister, but quickly recovered and can't wait to meet Sawyer! They are both so excited to be big brothers! On Christmas Eve, Pap Pap always reads Polar Express to us, and then we watch the movie in our pj's. Christmas morning was a blast! The boys were so excited to see all their presents!

Ricky took the approach of slow and steady! He wanted to open each gift and play with it before moving on to the next one. Everett, however, tore into each gift and was finished long before Ricky! He organized his gifts into nice, neat piles - looks like a touch of Mommy's OCD! Then Ricky told Everett he could open the rest of his gifts while he played. Everett was more than willing to help out his brother! He would get so excited and say "Look Ricky what you got!" After all the presents were open under the tree, they found more under the other tree in the dining room! They got their very own brand new computer for their playroom! Then they found a set of keys that led them to the garage to discover their Jeep they could drive! They were thrilled! The day after Christmas we spent with Nana, Pappy, and Grandma! It was so much fun! At the end of our break, the boys had a visit from their cousins! Ricky and Everett adored spending time with Dylan, Chloe, and Brandon! We went to the park and had a sleepover! We made pallets on the floor and watched movies like we were at the theatre! We were all sad to see them go! We rang in the New Year with our good friend's the Alford's! The kids had the best time! We also went to our friend Emily's birthday party at Pump It Up and had a great time! It was a busy break packed full of fun times and memories!
