December

It’s so fun decorating around the house for Christmas. The boys love pulling out all our ornaments and memories together to decorate our tree. Asher was thrilled to do the honors of putting the star on top of our tree this year!

So cute. Beck made a gift for us in his classroom, and it was the first gift under our tree this year.

Christmas lights!

The boys had a fun-filled December at school with lots of partying. Thankfully Beck’s teacher is awesome at capturing their fun times together, so we have some cute keepsakes. We’re thankful the boys enjoyed their time in class and the first part of December, because the next few weeks that followed were pretty overcome with sickness…even on Christmas Day.

Beck’s Ugly Christmas Shirt Day at school. I asked him to smile and he said, “Mom, I’m a Christmas tree, we don’t smile, we just hold pretty things.”

So blessed to get to have two sweet family Christmas celebrations!

We will forever in a day cherish this picture. So sweet. Big brother helping little brother with his tie for Christmas Eve services at church.

The night before Christmas. Snacks and notes for Santa. Asher’s says, “Dear Santa, I hope it’s not too late to say sorry about what I’ve said, if it is I would like nothing! Just family cheer. Asher.” (insert a big smile from us, ha!) Beck’s says, “Thank you for the presents. Beck”

Christmas morning! We had a fantastic day together with Grandma and Grandpa Necas hanging out in our backyard and making homemade pizzas!

Randomness.

Beck spent a lot of his piggy bank money, and some of Grandpa’s, to buy me these nice figurines from our neighbors garage sale. He put these nice Cardinals by my bedside. I love them, and he’s so sweet. But, I was getting a bit of a rash thinking about having to wake up to these every morning, ha! Thankfully, Daddy was brilliant and decided to name them the Christmas Cardinals, so now they will make a seasonal appearance :).
