Christmas 2012-Oh How Long Ago you were

Christmas was forever ago but I'm going to try to remember the activities that revolved around our celebration. This is mainly for our memory bank when we get old and gray(or more gray). We had a fantastic Christmas!!!!! I had a little attitude about Christmas this year because we were going to be alone but it ended up being a blessed time with our kiddos and we created many memories(hopefully). :) The first thing we did was attend Zoo Lights. Tobin enjoyed the lit up penguins. He liked them so much he was a little affectionate with them. After seeing the fake birds we moved onto the living. Ander tried to stay warm. Tobin decided we were lost so thought he should sit down and look at the map to help us out. That's our Tobin. Tobin standing in awe of this huge, white bearded stranger. The next Christmas event was making our first "ghetto" gingerbread train. Christmas Eve was a time to get our jammies on and go search for Christmas lights. We came home and went through our stockings. Christmas Day we opened gifts and made our traditional candy cane cookies.

Thanksgiving/ Birthday Fun

We had a Fantastic Thanksgiving. We met Rob's family in the mountains in North Carolina. We were there for a week and did lots of celebrating birthdays, family and God's beauty in creation. Rob and Tobin both turned another year older.

The boys had lots of cousin time.

And of course...... lots of Gram and Poppi time!!!!!

The last day we were on the mountain they started blowing snow and it was below freezing!!!! We got the kids out to sled but it only lasted long enough for a couple of times down the hill. Corwin and Ander were miserable and spent most of the time in the van with me.

We had a great time and made so many fantastic memories. Thank you Gram and Poppi.
