*Christmas at the Cole's*

What a wonderful Christmas we had this year. We are so blessed to have such wonderful family and friends. On Christmas we were joined by my mom, Larry, Brison's mom, and then of course Brison, Carson, and I.

Carson had a great time opening presents. I think his favorite one was a bike that Brison got for him and I. It is one that I can push him on until Carson is old enough to do it on his own. We had a fabulous dinner that my dad provided for us since he was not able to make it. We sure did appreciate that a lot. We wish everyone was able to be with us during these times, but we understand how things come up and it is just not possible all the time. We sure did have you all in our thoughts and prayers though.

However, we did have the joy of talking and seeing Brison's family in Missouri on our new webcams. So exciting. We bought his family one for Christmas and then ours is built into our computer, so we got them all set up and working Christmas eve so that we could see each other on Christmas day. Another exciting thing that happened on Christmas was that my brother, Jason, from California called us to wish us a Merry Christmas. I have not talked to him in a few years, so what a great ending that was to such a special day.

Well there was a run down to our Christmas, hope all of yours was a wonderful as ours. I cant wait to read about yours and see the pictures as well. Enjoy!!!!

Winter Wonderland

Today I found the perfect sled for Carson, I was so excited to take him the next time we received some snow. As the day progressed it started to snow and I was so excited to get Carson bundled up and go sledding. I had to wait anxiously for 3 hours while he took his afternoon nap. Then, we ended the evening with a perfect sled ride around the block. He loved it and would get cranky when I tried to take him back inside, so we went for another lap. I have a snow baby, YAY



This is the picture I took while waiting for Carson to wake up.

Present Snatcher

Carson was so determined to crawl over all the presents to get to the last one with a bow on it. Nothing stops this child. After a few leaps and bounds, he got the gift. Too cute. I got the really good one of him leaning off the big present about to fall head first into the tree, on my phone. Bummer, but if you want to see it ill text it to ya.

New Baby Blair

Jen is now 15 weeks pregant and starting to show just a tad. We had so much fun tryig to get pics of her belly. Some turned out good and some turned out bad. Here is an insight to some that I love. Oh ya they find out on the 30th what they are having. Very Exciting!!!!

Decorating the Tree

After church on Sunday we went up to my mom and larry's for a day of decorating and homemade chicken noodle soup. The girls and kids did most of the decorating while the men caught up on previously recorded UFC fights. The kids had so much fun with the decorations. Khy was so good at giving them to us to put on the tree and Carson was so good at taking them off and eating them.






Oh Brison bought these for mom cause they were called Dum Dum candy canes :) He likes to give her a hard time.

Candy Cane Hunt

Jen and I took the kids to the candy cane hunt at Lincoln Park on Saturday. It started out by creating frames for a picture with a snowman, followed by a Christmas puppet show, and ending with the hunt. Oh my gosh, what work that was. We decided that next year the daddys need to go with. It was way to hard to try and take pictures, video tape, and keep track of the kids. I cant imagine how it will be when we both have two or three kids each. YIKES!!! It was so much fun though.




Carson is of course eating the stickers

So sweet, sitting together wathing the show
