November and December 2013

Holy Smokes! We made it through the two busiest months I think we have had yet in our marriage.  Rusty is in school, works at DeVillbis Healthcare, is the Executive Secretary and I made a very large amount of Cinnamon Rolls by order from my facebook group page and previous customers. 

I have wanted to update how are family has been because so much changes with our cute boys day to day.  We had a really nice holiday spent together with family.  We have so much family in town we don't even get to see everyone during the holidays. 

 

This Christmas Karter was really starting to get into the whole Santa Clause business.  He was so excited about getting a bike for Christmas.  He said he wanted to tell Santa what he wanted.  Thinking he would be past the stage of screaming on Santa's lap (we didn't take him to see Santa last year).  This picture is of the boys waiting in line to see Santa.  I took them by myself the day before Christmas Eve.  I sat in line for almost 2 hours.  I am not sure how we did it.  The closer we got to Santa Karter started loosing interest in seeing Santa.  I was not going to let that time waiting in line go to waste.  We did it! We sat on Santa's lap....or should I say they sat on Santa's lap.  Karter screamed and Keaton looked up at him with a bit of wonder and turned to look at the camera.  Priceless! Worth the wait...I think?  :)

 

Christmas Eve we always spend with the Fife Family.  It is the one time we are all able to make our schedules available to be together. We actually got a family picture! This picture below is of us and Rusty's parents.

 

 

I always forget to take more pictures of Christmas morning with my family and the kids.  We didn't wake up Keaton to open presents with Karter b/c he is still so little he doesn't get it. We opened presents at our house and then went to my parents to open presents from siblings and my mom and dad. It is one morning we all get together.  Last year we added another in-law (my brother Craig married Murphy)  and so our family is growing! It's pretty awesome.
