Being a MOM is the BEST!

These two just know how to make you melt and also to pull out your hair. I wish I could saying pulling out may hair is very rare but that would be a lie! But these two definitely make me melt all the time. Those are the times that I forget about all the frustrating, stressful, tiresome, annoying, whining times. 

These are just some random pictures I have taken of the kids over the past few weeks. I just love these two. They are so cute!!!

I am just the luckiest mom!!! How could you not love these two! I know I love them more than anything.  I am so blessed to have them in my life. 

Gingerbread House's

For family home evening last week we made some gingerbread houses. Payton really enjoyed putting the candy on and eating it.

I can't believe how easy these are to make now days. I have never boughten a package like this. My cousin actually gave them to us. They are just so easy and you don't have as big of a mess. They are still a lot of work though. 

Josh assembled them and Payton and I decorated them. Scarlett really didn't do much. She was too tired.

Payton really did a good job. 

He did get very messy. Once he tasted a candy and the frosting he realized they were yummy. It was hard for him not to eat a lot of it.

This is Payton's house that he and I worked on together. 

Josh's house he did all by himself. 

Once we were mostly done Payton was eating the frosting I had used for the walk way and the grass.

Messy face!

Here he is just swiping his hand across and shoving it into his mouth. He loved it!

Yummy! Frosting!

Josh was about done at this point. He didn't much as much candy and frosting as Payton.

Payton trying to help his dad with his. 

Josh's all finished!

Payton and Josh very proud of the gingerbread house's. What dorks, but I love them!

3rd Annual Friends Christmas Party

Since we have moved here we have made some really good friends. For the last 2 years we have gotten all our families together and have done a little something to celebrate christmas. It's always fun when we get together. The kids really enjoy playing together. They are a little loud and crazy, but thats normal. This year everyone came to our house. We ate some food, the men watched football, the woman chatted, and the kids made a big mess everywhere. We each bought every family a little something. The kids of course loved opening the gifts. 

Here are some pictures of each of the families. 

These guys actually have a daughter also, but she wasn't feeling so good so she stayed home with her grandparents. 

These guys do have kids! They actually have 3, but they didn't want to deal with trying to get them all to cooperate. 

These are just a few pictures of the kids opening different gifts. 

We had a really nice time with our friends. It's so nice to have so many good friends!
