Christmas and New Years

Christmas Eve we went to Riley's brothers house to eat breakfast for dinner and decorate gingerbread houses.. The kids had a lot of fun playing with their cousins!

The kids with the finished products!!


Chase pouting because he wasn't being held the whole time!! Silly boy was so dramatic :)




Opening their pj's



All the kids!! Funny cause Shane yelled for all the Bevell kids (meaning his) and he got 2 extra to come.. they are Bevell's too :)
After we all piled into our cars and went to see the Christmas lights around the area... we saw some pretty cool ones, a few houses had lights on EVERYTHING and one had music playing with the lights to go along with the music! Lots of fun!

CHRISTMAS MORNING!!



Coming down stairs... Blake checking to see if Santa came by looking to see if he ate the cookies and milk



Once we walked down stairs Santa left Blake a Buzz Light Year... he ran picked him up and gave him a big hug!!! VERY cute!!



Before we started the madness!!


Stockings!!


Chase checking things out.... enjoying his juice!!



Chase not quite sure what to do with a wrapped toy.. but quickly figures it out!



Chase enjoyed playing with the paper!!



The boys stuff... It was too much I had to take 2 pictures!!

It was a great year we enjoyed Blake being old enough to know what was going on and he was so cute with Chase helping him open presents and telling him what the toys were!!



Riley's gifts.... my gifts

Blake's photography!!



We went over to Riley's sister house for New Years and ate some good food and enjoyed each others company.. Joe decided that he would come see how we celebrated New Years... He had fun eating, playing games and hanging out with all the kids and us crazy adults!

Chase and Blake loved having uncle Joe around for a few days!!


Blake didn't want to go to bed and its the one night a year where he didn't have to... he was able to stay up until 11:30 ish... then decided that he was tired and made himself a bed on the floor and feel asleep!!

He decided he wanted to sleep in only his diaper :)
This year we have been so blessed in our lives... Chase has added so much to our family and Blake has been learning new things and its so fun to have a conversation with him!! We have really enjoyed watching the boys grow and become friends and play together!!! We had a fun holiday season and we got to do so much with Riley even though he was busy!!
We are very grateful for our health and our family that we are blessed to be an eternal family and be so happy together! I hope it only gets better next year!!
