Christmas and more

This is called catching up time. My computer had to visit the virus doctor for almost two weeks. It was hard not having a computer, but actually probably good, because I realized how much I don't need it and the time that I was wasting on it. So although I'm thankful to get it back, I feel much better about setting boundaries around it. So while the boys nap....I'm going to try and get some pictures posted and recap some missed time.

We had a WONDERFUL Christmas season. I can't say enough about it. It was so nice to not be traveling and be one of the thousands stranded in airports this holiday season. We enjoyed waking up in our own beds (although earlier than we would have liked!) and just enjoying time as a family. This year Silas started to understand more so it was so cute to see him excited and opening presents. We really tried to keep Jesus at the center of our celebration and so everyday for like two weeks you could hear Silas singing Happy Birthday to Jesus. Now, he continues to ask when do we get to celebrate Jesus's birthday again? How fun!

Other than that, Kurt had two weeks off so we had such a nice time interacting as a family. It really hit us hard Monday when Daddy went back to work, but we're getting back into some sort of routine! So here are a few pictures I'll try to post and maybe catch up more as time goes on.

Some of the best times leading up to Christmas was all of the boxes that we got. The boys loved playing in them!

Christmas eve before our church service, we got some neat pictures in front of the tree.

Our new race track....ahhh...boys and their toys.
