Christmas holidaze

Yes, I am aware of the misspelled word in my title, but really, that is exactly how I feel much of the time. Twin babies don't exactly go hand in hand with a blissful night's sleep. Sigh. But I digress . . . here are some Christmas pics.

Marcus got to spend TONS of fun time with his little cousin, Tyler. They were in town for a week and a half which I think is the longest amount of time we've ever had those two boys together. Very cute, very fun, and together they were awesome dancers.

We didn't have to travel at all this season, so the snow meant nothing but fun for us and for one little three-year-old in particular. Also, did you know that those cheap plastic pools make awesome sleds in the winter. Seriously.

We had lots of visits from lots of family. My brother and his wife passed through on their crazy trek north and Marcus took to him like peanut butter to jelly. Alecia stayed with us and made us so much yummy food and took care of Marcus and the babes so that I could get some sleep. Bless her.

Speaking of sweet babes, here are the boys in Christmas outfits from my dad. Owen and Eli are a month old now. Owen continues to be a chunk and Eli continues to have huge eyes. They are both precious little angels sent straight from heaven above though I am scared to death for Monday when I am all alone with them and with Marcus. It will be our first day without a helper adult around. Oh wait, this is one of those times when I'm supposed to say, "Well, at least I don't have a painful uterine infection." There, I knew that phrase would come in handy. I feel better already :)

Here is Marcus with his Christmas haul. It was a wonderful holiday. I am so blessed to have three wonderful boys and a wonderful husband. They make it seem like Christmas all year long (oh, the cheese!!). I hope you all had a wonderful holiday, too.
