Beach Day

Backyard Camping

Daddy put the tent up in the backyard. Mommy had to help a little bit because it's a big tent! The boys played in it for a while. Daddy and the big boys were going to sleep in it...and then Daddy and Jack...and then everyone decided to sleep inside instead!

Easter Lunch

After church, we met Grandma and Uncle Chris for lunch.

It was a gorgeous day!

Then, we headed home to have an egg hunt.

7 Years Together

Christmas

The boys snuck upstairs like little ninjas to get to their Christmas presents.

Luckily, they were so excited by their gigantic sand shovels that they didn't tear into the presents until Mommy, Daddy, and Mason got upstairs.

They tore into their gifts from Santa, Grammy, Papa, Uncle Aaron, and Miss Lindsay.

They played for a while before Grandma and Uncle Chris came over.

And then round 2 of present-opening began!

The boys stayed in their pajamas all day. We had Christmas dinner at our house.

It was a very merry Christmas.

Opening presents from Zach and Benny before dinner. He waited all week, with them sitting on the counter, but he was done waiting to open them! Thanks, Zach and Benny!

"I've been looking for this! It was on my list!"

Thanks, Grandma Helen!
