Winter Wonderland

This Christmas and New Years' was a fabulous, busy holiday season.  I could probably have posted five or six times but either forgot or got too busy with all the fun family get-togethers that come with the holidays.  So here is the abridged recap of what's been going on:

 We enjoyed the Winter Wonderland that was the holidays. . . and then even MORE snow after the holidays ended.  This winter is definitely preparing us to live in Minnesota!  Chase took the boys sledding outside our apartment, and later on, I used my parents' 4-wheeler to pull them on a tube.

 We enjoyed going to the Stander family and Sainsbury family Christmas parties.  Here is a picture of us at the Sainsbury party during the talent show portion.  I haven't been to this party for over 3 years, so it was fun to catch up with some of my cousins I hadn't seen for awhile.

 We spent Christmas Eve and Christmas morning with my parents on the farm.  Our annual picture on the stairs we take every Christmas morning is getting harder and harder as our family grows!

 Mckay and logan loved opening presents.  This year Mckay really began to understand the whole concept behind opening presents.  It was so fun to watch him enjoy his toys.

 After spending Christmas Day with our Sainsbury side, we journeyed to Kamas and enjoyed opening presents with our England side.  Mckay and Logan loved reading their Christmas gift with Grandma England.

 Mckay sure enjoyed all of his cousins on both sides of the family.

Tucked into all these other family parties, we celebrated Logan's 1-year-old birthday party.  I love my little peanut.  He is my sweet, snuggly little boy.  He will snuggle with me every day, and loves to climb stairs, play peek-a-boo, follow his older brother around, and play catch with Dad.  He love to say "Ma ma", "More", "No," and occasionally, "Mine!"  He eats a lot, doesn't like milk, still likes to get up once or twice in the night (ugh!), and can pull himself into a standing up position but is in no hurry to walk.
