why was 2011 the best year ever?

Two reasons...

 Reason #1

His earnest way of ambushing every drop of wisdom from the world around him, his sensitive heart and invincible spirit, his gentle yet courageous soul that ever stands on the threshold of adulthood, and his maddeningly witty nature - made this year the best ever.

 Reason #2

His blazing smile and enormous laughter, his busy intentions and stampeding pleasures, his tender embraces and sympathetic nuzzles, his invigorating certainty and dazzling dances - made this the best year ever.

To our boys, you light up our life with a million stars of hope and happiness.  Thank you for making 2011 the best year ever!

A Great Day...

Merry Christmas!  As you can see, we had lots of fun around our house!

There will be more pics to come, but I just had to share this one of Blake opening his Red Rider BB Gun.  I think we scored some points with that one!

Tree Shopping!

We got our Christmas tree last weekend!

As you can see, the boys had so much fun finding the perfect tree and decorating it.  Well, Luke didn't decorate it as much as he undecorated it!  We now have a tree that's only decorated on the top half, but it's beautiful nonetheless!
