Crazy Kiddos

These kids are so crazy. Or maybe it's their parents?

Changing Reed has become a full contact sport.

And conversations with Maddy are too funny!

Mom: Hey Madge... Do kids at school call you Madge Badge?

M: No.

Mom: what about Madgellon?

M: No. They do call me something though. Guess.

Mom: What? Madelyno?

M: No. What does Jesus call me? They call me what Jesus calls me.

Mom: Jesus calls you? 

M: Yes mom. He calls me Maddy. I don't really like Maddy. I like Madelyn. 

What a wonderful December 20th

For Reed's birthday we decided to keep it low key and have only a few close family and friends over for pizza and cake. What a wonderful, perfect night it turned out to be. Papa made a surprise visit (he was supposed to be at home recovering!), which made Reed scream with excitement. We had so much fun celebrating Reed's big introduction into Year 2. We once again felt unbelievably blessed both for the wonderful kids we have- and for the family and friends who love them. 

Birthdays

Happy Birthday sweet boy. You have brought so much joy, laughter, excitement, and of course balls. Love you my favorite 2 year old boy. 

Journey to the North Pole

Ray and I pulled a couple strings for Reed's birthday and got a couple of tickets to see Santa, via the Polar Express of course! 

What a magical night!

A Mimi Christmas

Mimi doesn't make too many appearances on the blog. She is usually ducking away from the camera, but I got one!

We had our Mimi Christmas tonight. Mimi is busy taking X-rays on most holidays, and next week she has to work both Christmas Eve and Christmas Day so we exchanged gifts tonight. (That may also be partly due to me being so excited to give her, her gifts.)

We are very lucky to have our Mimi. 

She provides love, understanding, and patience to the craziest of days.

Doctors masks!

We've Almost Got...

A birthday boy!

Balls, not Ties.

Some boys just want to play ball.

It doesn't matter how much you want them to wear a tie. Ties get in the way of playing ball. (Photo courtesy of Grandma & Grandpa)
