Ben and McLean are 1!

Our sweet boys are one year old! I am blessed beyond my wildest imagination by these two little miracles and it is so hard to believe that this first year has gone by so quickly. We celebrated the big day with two parties. One this weekend here at our home and one last weekend at my parents home. It was wonderful to celebrate such a special occasion with our friends and family.

Florida Vacation

Over the New Year holiday my family took a trip to Florida. We had a blast enjoying the gorgeous weather, spending time with family, relaxing and Magic Kingdom of course!

(How did I not get any pictures with my mom in all of these??? Love you mom!)

Christmas

It was so special to be able to celebrate Jesus' birth with the boys this year. Christmas will certainly never be the same! We were not able to do everything we had planned since the boys were so sick, but it was a special holiday nevertheless. We woke up at our home Christmas Eve and had Santa with the boys that morning. Later that day we went to Columbia and celebrated with Gene's family and Christmas day was spent at my parents house. We hope everyone had a very Merry Christmas!

The Boys loved their horsey

It's the most wonderful time of the year!

I absolutely LOVE this time of the year. I think it is a combination of all of the time spent with family and friends, that Jesus and I have birthdays back to back :), the beautiful decorations, Christmas music, yummy food, parties and so much more.

Not only have I decorated my blog for Christmas, our house has been decorated since the weekend before Thanksgiving. We were traveling and I knew I would be too tired to do it when I got back, plus I want to enjoy the decorations as much as possible.

This past weekend we went downtown to the Christmas Parade. The parade itself wasn't too impressive, but it was so much fun to see how pretty downtown was decorated.
