Christmas 2013

The holidays seemed to go by in a flash this year.  Not sure if it was due to the fewer number of days between Thanksgiving and Christmas or if it was the fact I had 2 very active boys running around this year....or both.

This year was one of the best yet.  Full of laughter, great food, and traditions.

We kicked off the season with our annual Christmas tree hunt at the farm.  Corbin was a great helper this year for the tree decoration, even helped me with the lights this year.  Him helping me with the lights was a lesson in patience for me, as the tree lights is one of the things I want a certain way.  But, I just couldn't say no to the help.  Corbin already has plans for next year's tree:  there will be 2, 1 for Garrett to decorate and 1 for us to decorate.  Garrett's will have 1 garland, and ours will have 5.

Corbin's finishing touch. 

On Christmas Eve, Corbin wanted some garland added to the tree.  Garland was cheap on that day. :)

                                   

Of course, we went to go see Santa.  Garrett was less than impressed.  Corbin is a pro and was at the ready, and told Santa he wanted "Doggie Doo" the game.

We then spent a weekend at Seabrook with Mom, Peg, Wes & the girls.  While our house didn't have a Christmas tree like it did last year, the weekend was a good mix of fun and relaxation.

 I tried to get the annual Christmas Eve picture of the boys in their jammies. It didn't quite work out as planned.

Corbin was all about the Legos this year.  Garrett was all about anything with wheels.  It didn't take long for him to want all of the toys out of the packaging.
