Merry Christmas 2012 & Happy New Year 2013

Oh my!  I have been working on this post for about three weeks!  I had a lot of pictures to go through, to pick out the ones I wanted to share and then load them!  We had a wonderful Christmas 2012!!!  It was a lot of fun because Hudsen grasps all of it and Nolen just wants to do what his big brother does!  We looked at A LOT of Christmas lights and both boys loved them!  Nolen would get so excited and just yell!!  It was so cute!  We ate a lot of food and spent a lot of family time! 
 
I will give a run down of our Christmas season and maybe that will limit the captions under the pictures, since there are so many!!! 
 
Hudsen had a fun preschool Christmas party!  They sang cute little songs and Santa even paid a visit with gifts!!!  Tim's brother and his family, Brian, Erin and Weston, came out this year!!  We had fun celebrating Weston's first Christmas!!  The boys played non-stop for about 2 weeks and did not take a nap for about 5 days and were still so so good!!  They had so much fun Christmas morning seeing what Santa brought!!  Tim had a fun birthday and my dad and Ashton came for about a week!  It was so much fun!
 
 
 
 

Lots of playing with his birthday toys.  He was good to share with Nolen too!!
