Christmas lights

I love the holidays for all the fun things there are to do as a family. Not that there aren't things to do the rest of the year, but Christmas is just so special. Last year we attempted the drive-thru Christmas lights at the Portland International Raceway with Jack. No go...he wasn't the least bit interested in all the pretty lights and characters. This year we decided to try again with our friends and their son. It went much better, plus we finally got to use the second row seats in my Tahoe! Love my car! The boys jumped up with their daddy's and soon had an even better view from out the sunroof! Gotta love daddy creativity!

Getting a boost

Love those little bottoms!

They spent most of the time yelling at everything and everyone!

A great time was had by all, pretty sure I missed most of the lights, but watching the boys and their daddy's was way more entertaining. A big thanks to our friends for joining us and helping us to create such great holiday memories! Happy Holidays Everyone!

Nostolgia is setting in

This past week I've been working on a photobook of Jack's first year. Its been so fun to look back and see how much he's changed, remember when he was first born and relive some amazing memories. Here are just a few to share... oh how things have changed in the last 2 years!

Old Family Photos

I've mentioned before one of my favorite websites/blogs Ohdeedoh which has a great collection of childrens rooms and kid-themed ideas. They recently had a post about people re-creating old family photos and it is such a hoot! You have to check it out!
