These pictures were my Christmas present from my parents. I was feeling really guilty for not getting family pictures done this year and was extremely glad that my mom is on top of things. I still have to download Christmas and birthday pictures from my camera.

Brandon had his fourth birthday right after Christmas. He was more excited for that than Christmas. He wanted Thomas theme again so that is what we did, with a little switch on the cake. He is still full of energy and always wanting to go and know why. He is an amazing kid. We are so blessed to have him in our family.

James just turned two. Trying to keep up to his brother on everything and landing quite a few bruises along the way. He is his own person and has his own personality. He has started to potty train himself...which is a lot easier when they instigate it. I am glad.

We are expecting a baby in May. Another little boy. We are all really excited. We are struggling with name ideas. I still say that is the hardest part of having a baby. The big brothers can't wait. We were at the ultra sound and James asked if he could hold him after seeing his feet. The fun things kids say.

We hope everyone is doing well, and has a happy new year.
