Christmas 2013

We were lucky enough to have Mimi and Papa with us for Christmas. 

And we could not have been more blessed.

{Christmas Morning. Santa found us}

Quite possibly the best surprise of the day. 

A knee pillow for this sweet husband of mine who is always using pillows between his legs then leaving them in my spot each time I get up with a baby. In turn, I throw them off the bed and he has to find another one. This could easily happen a few times each night and I was sick of throwing pillows off the bed and Jesse I'm sure was tired of finding new ones each time. This one can stay between his legs always so it solved everyone's problem.  

One of my most exciting gifts! 

You better believe I love taking pictures and videos with this thing!

The boys received more toys than they possibly needed and of course were more fascinated with lids

and a little box 

and trying to eat all the wrapping paper scraps and tape.

But we all had the most wonderful day.

So in no particular order, it looked something like this.

It was a Christmas of tools at our house.

We were absolutely spoiled. 

{Briggs loved these little hankies and packed them around all day}

This is what a good Christmas looks like.

And I caught this gem. These boys thought Papa was hilarious!

Monsters

I saw these monsters and couldn't come home without them.

They're just too cute.

Just like these guys.

And maybe someday they'll learn to love them as much as I do.

I see London, I see France...

Love to Snuggle

Cutie Patooties - Nine Months

I just am smitten with how cute these two are so of course we needed a mini photoshoot.

{Briggs in green, Ian in grey}

And this sequence just cracks me up. Briggs just kept tipping backwards more and more towards Ian

 Finally, Ian had enough.

And Briggs basked in the aloneness. 

And Ian came and visited me

 {And then I forced more pictures on him}

{And Briggs was just being a hoot}

 

Love my boys!

Bubbles!

The boys had knocked over their shampoo/body wash earlier in the day and I hadn't thought anything of it until I went to fill the tub for bathtime. 

There was large pile of soap, so a bubble bath it was!

It was pretty hilarious to watch. They loved it!

And Ian must have been eating bubbles...

when he looked up at me with this face I almost died laughing!
