It's Beginning to Look a lot like Christmas

Just a cute picture of Cohen sleeping in his swing. Doesn't he look deep in though? The swing is has been or "go to" method anytime Cohen wouldn't sleep. He loved it and never slept better!

Daddy reading Cohen his favorite book "Goodnight moon" because as TJ says its fun for kids and adults too. (because he gets to look for the mouse on each page!)

I LOVE my boys!

Cohen enjoying a little tummy time before it was time to decorate the tree.

This Christmas my whole family was gathering in St. Louis for Christmas since we are the central location for everyone and we have the most room. Thanks again to Pops and Gem for allowing my family to stay in your beautiful home. We decorated the basement with our Christmas decor since we don't have near enough to cover the whole house.

Mommy and Cohen decorating the tree. He was such a good helper.

The Sunday before Christmas we celebrated with the Bunnell side of the family. This included a delicious dinner, ginger bread house making and lots of presents.

It is a BIG tradition on the Bunnell side to make gingerbread houses. And not with gram crackers like my family always did, real gingerbread. Karalee made the gingerbread and Mike and Jay did an amazing job cooking it and cutting out the different pieces of the houses. It's a lot of work and usually Gem does it all herself.

Kelan saying "cheese" he loved decorating gingerbread houses just like his mom...and what kid wouldn't love being surrounded by candy???

Mirae, Jay and Cohen observing the festivities.

Devin, Sterling and Karalee all in on the action.

The finished products. Aren't they beautiful!
