Christmas 2013

Our Christmas in pictures...

 

Beginning at the weekend slumber party at the Wassons...

 

 

Then Christmas at our house...

(We changed things a bit...  oops not "change", Josiah doesn't like that word, I meant we "switched" things around!  Okay, it's the same thing, but it sounds different.  LOL.)  We opened Christmas gifts on Christmas Eve...  that was a first for us!  The boys didn't like that idea at first, but now they love it and think that they'd probably like to do it like that again next year. :)  We'll see 'cause I'm still on the fence.  But, we had a great time together!  I love these special days with my family!!

These three handsome boys steal my heart!!!

(I guess I need to ask someone to take my picture sometimes so I have proof that I'm here too!  I should probably ask more often.)  Photo creds to Shep!

 

He was so surprised!  Josiah gave him his iPod for Christmas!

 

Christmas morning stockings!

 

 

My parents came over on Christmas day and we had so much fun hanging out.

(And the Duck Dynasty marathon...  laughing til we cried)

 

Sweet times!

Snow Days at the Farm

A Christmas Carol performances were rescheduled for next weekend...  (the pictures below tell why!), so we were able to enjoy a weekend in the snow!

I'm thinking that a snow day in the country is really wonderful!

I enjoyed getting some pictures of our house and property covered in snow...

 

John loved having a reason to use his tractor!

 

And we had LOTS of fun playing!

 

I loved this!  Woo hoo!

This is one of my most favorite pictures of the day!  I really love my man!!!  (Photo creds to Shepard)  We took all our snow pics with my phone!

Josiah finally decided to come out and join us for a little bit.  

 

 

So... next weekend we look forward to the play! 

(Now we have to wait one more week for the boys to get haircuts... oh my!)

 



Getting Ready for A Christmas Carol

Just one more all-day Saturday practice...

then it's time for the production!

The boys are getting excited...

Trunk or Treat 2013

We don't usually do much for Halloween, but our two youngest really love to dress up...  so we decided to try Trunk or Treat this year.  (It was a bit too crowded for mom and dad, but the boys loved it!)

 

Josiah feels a little too old for this, but he was a great sport and tagged along on the family outing.

(But no pictures of the oldest son for this one.)

 

Our Dynamic Duo!!

 

Now there's lots of candy around here!

Shepard with his hair grown out

Shepard has to grow out his hair from the usual buzz cut for his part in A Christmas Carol.

And he has been liking the new look.

But, (sigh) he's a Wasson boy and doesn't like to fix his hair, so he would rather wear a hat than fix his hair.  (Which means we will probably go back to the buzz after the play.) :(

But, I wanted to get a picture of him with his hair grown out...

so last weekend the sun was setting and it looked like a beautiful time to take pictures.  I love him in brown (so handsome!) and so we rushed over to the pond before the light was completely gone and took a few pictures. 

This one makes. my. heart. melt!

I love his FUN poses, too!  He makes me smile!

 

Love this fella!
