and so are the days of our lives: 2012

Brewer Cousin Christmas

On the 27th, The Dallas Brewers, Grandma, Aunt Janet, Uncle Jeff and cousin Fia came over! We had a great time hanging out with our cousins!

Waiting for everyone!

My Loves!

Karsyn hanging out in her chair!

Aunt Julie called!

opening presents

SOO, Zachary likes to tease uncle jeff about liking girl stuff. They always joke back and forth about who wants more girly things….lesson here? It’s not a good idea to joke about girl things with an aunt who is a Mary Kay consultant! Zach got a bag full of lipstick, gloss, and fingernail polish! Somehow we talked him into putting it on!!!

Brady in heaven with his super hero art supplies!

The 3 big boys all playing their iPods! It was so fun watching the boys play together! They got along so well, and we’re so thankful for this time we got to spend with them!

Karsyn loved sitting with Luke! Luke was so patient with all the kids! He’s so grown up and I’m so thankful he’s so good with my kids! Just wish he lived closer so he could babysit!!

attempting a group photo…didn’t really work out!

Kaden, Zachary, Fia, Luke, Karsyn and Brady

Poor Brady had hit the wall. Too many days of celebrating mixed with a cold….

…and this is what you get 10 minutes after everyone leaves! Poor baby!

Happy Birthday Jesus

We spent Christmas eve getting ready for the big guys visit, and talking a lot about Jesus’ birthday! We made cookies, prepared dinner for that night, and some of dinner for christmas night, and hung out as a family.

Grandpa and Grandma Nan stopped by for a few minutes to drop off presents

Brady…excited that his present is the biggest!

sister got a little help from Grandpa

The boys both loved Brady’s pirate ship

Sweet Kaden sitting in part of his Chair! The twin’s chairs were ordered oh about 6 1/2 weeks before Christmas. After many heated conversations with pottery barn, and
Grandma Nan’s blood pressure skyrocketing, Kadens cute cover will be delivered after the first of the year!

He doesn’t seem to mind too much!

Karsyn loves her chair!

After the kiddo’s went to sleep, Santa got to work! He had a lot to put together!

And from the looks on their faces, He did a good job!

Brady got a batman cave, race track, and art supplies

Karsyn got a music table, a princess, and a tea set

Kaden got a Chuggington Track, trains, and a police car

playing with their toys!

I’m pretty sure he liked it!

Stockings!

Twinkies!

Brady opening his present from Mommy and Daddy! He got his very own iPod touch! He was beyond excited!

We spent the rest of the day relaxing, and playing!

Later, Grandma came over for Christmas dinner! She gave the kids this awesome art table!! The boys are loving it! And one day Karsyn will too!!

We had an amazing day, and are so thankful that God send his son to save us!

Christmas in Dallas

We headed to Rockwall on the 21st! We had a short visit, but managed to cram in lots of cousin fun, a trip to Granny’s, and LOTS of presents!

my boys!

Grandanny and Nana’s boys…ready for presents!

Kaden is infatuated with Catherine! He loves to hold her, and pat her head! However, I’m not sure Catherine feels the same way!

The kids!

Elizabeth, Brady, Hannah, Karsyn, Kaden, Jacob, and Catherine

Present time!

the big boys got RGIII jersey’s! They were pumped

and this would be where the battery on my camera died! and of course I didn’t have my charger…so no more pictures from our trip…but trust me, we had a blast!! My kids were spoiled and we’re so thankful to everyone for being so generous!

The week before Christmas

Phew! It’s been a whirlwind around here! The week before Christmas was jam packed with activities. We had a blast, but this momma is ready for some down time!!

To highlight a few of our adventures…

we met Grandpa and Grandma Nan to see the trains at Second Baptist Church and the lights at the Houstonian
