HERE we are!!

So I wrote a post about Thanksgiving. but haven't gotten the pictures uploaded yet so I am a little out of order on my post. But at least I am finally posting about something right?!!? Anywho, we have gotten Christmas ready at our house!! FYI, I started getting ready while it was still November. We did wait until after the 1st to decorate the tree though! All the Christmas shopping is done. Just a few crafts and homemade gifts for family left to do! I have been feeling a little inadequate and down in the dumps lately, so all the Christmas decorations are helping me smile!! We tried to get a picture of all the kids, and a dog, before the tree was all up and decorated....ya we took like 20 pictures and no one would cooperate at the same time!!


 
We brought the prison tree back again this year. Cason still feels the need to touch everything on and under the tree and Brody is also another challenge this year since he seems to be a Cason Jr. when it comes to mayhem and destruction. It has proven a success yet again so far!! I cannot beleive Christmas is here. I feel like this year has just flown by! I mean it is Brett's 3rd year of medical school! I remember getting here like it was yesterday thinking it would take forever to get where we are even now. AND we had a baby!! A baby who is almost a year old!!! OH my goodness!!

I am so excited for the holidays, however. We get to go see a ton of family in Colorado. Everyone will be together...hasn't happened in at least 2 yrs I think?? It's going to be so fun...and exhausting. BUT good exhausting haha.

 Oh the finished product....without the gate around it just yet =)

 I got the boys dressed tonight in their matching pjs.
 
 Reminded me of this picture.
