Christmastime!  It’s so fun unraveling all of the boys ornaments, and listening to their memories about each one.  We try to buy a Christmas ornament each year for the boys to symbolize their interests that year.  This year added to the tree a soccer ball for Asher, and Minecraft for Beck, which pretty much sums up the year :).

This we did not expect.  Apparently Beck is so scared of heights, he didn’t want to sit on Daddy’s shoulders to put the star on the tree, ha!

Create your own pastry dessert night!

Lots of shopping with Beck in December.  And, lots of requests for me to take pictures of all the toys he wanted, so we could talk to Daddy about them for Christmas :).

Our Community had a little event with snow, lunch, face painting and sleigh rides!  Asher asked Beck what he was going to build in the snow, and Beck said, “England”.  Ha!

Asher had a cute Christmas performance at school! He had been working for weeks to prepare for this Russian Dance, and he had the sore legs to prove it :).

This is how Asher welcomed all of our guests at our Christmas Party.  Hiding and shouting, “HEY!” when they came to our door.  Oh my, it made him so happy, ha!

Fun date with my boys to the zoo!  We LOVE no school schedule!!!

We just have so many pictures of them like this.  They love each other so much!

Beck has been working so hard on learning his butterfly stroke!  He’s such a little fishy!  He also has the best swim coach, Mr. John.  They’re friends :).

Star Wars!

Forts with Daddy!

I mean, who doesn’t ride a zip line like this, right?!  Ha!

Letters to Santa!

So blessed to have Grandma and Grandpa Necas and Auntie Dana spent Christmas with us!!

Enjoying Christmas gifts!

It’s been a pretty rough winter for the boys, especially Asher.  Lots of sickness, and not super encouraging news with their weight and lung function.  We pray a lot for our boys.  We love them so much!!
