New Year's Eve

 Traditional Chinese food for dinner

 Then we played games together! Kinsey chose UNO attack first

 and Ephram won!

 which made him want to play again...so he picked it too:)

 Braden chose triominoes

 Cailey picked Guesstures

 It was a fun game that we all loved playing

 Love doing life with this guy

Christmas at Granny's

 I was SO SAD that I forgot the camera when we went to Granny's for Christmas but thankful I had my iphone. Sigh. Granny and the grandkids

 Courtney came later in the evening and Ephram LOVE HIM some Courtney!  He wants her to hold him the whole time.

 Brian and his mama

The kids got some pretty CRAZY and AMAZING gifts from Granny and Hunt this year. Braden got an electric guitar, Ephram got a set of drums, Kinsey got an Asian Bitty Baby, and Cailey got Molly (the American Girl Doll)! We got video of their reactions because they were priceless!  They weren't expecting these gifts at ALL.  

When we got home the kids immediately started singing and playing instruments..lol.

The next morning Ephram said, "Mommy, I woke up at midnight and wanted to play my drums for you, but I couldn't find my sticks."

Umm...good thing, buddy! Thankfully we talked about it so he now knows not to play them while anyone is asleep.

Ephram learned how to pump his legs on the swings and LOVES spending time practicing. He has literally spent hours on the swing at a time...seriously. Kinsey will come in and say that he even wants to eat his lunch out there while he's swinging :).
