Christmas in South Carolina

John peering out his Thomas the Train tent window. Wil's favorite gift...a scooter! John's favorite gift...a piano! We made our first annual train cake for the boys. The coveted car was the engine with the rock candy smoke stack.

Montana - Kid's Museum

Montana

We had the joy of spending 10 days in early December out in Great Falls, MT. All of Cory's family live there. That's Papa, Grandma and 2 brothers with their families makes a total of 8 cousins. That equals BIG fun for Wil & John. We crammed a lot in to our time there. A trip to the children's museum, several trips to the Gibson Park duck pond to feed the ducks, a trip to The Big Sag or The "Big Sack" as Wil calls it, a visit to a farm to see the Highland Cows...this was one of Wil's highlights because he'd never seen cows with curly hair before, and lots of reading with Papa and coloring with Grandma. Our family graciously celebrated Christmas two weeks early just for us.

The Big Sag-Montana

Uncle Chad & Aunt Marsha took us to The Big Sag...a large ranch that Uncle Chad leases for his hunters. The boys got their first horse ride on Lil' Joe and also enjoyed riding their cousin Walker's 4 wheeler. Wil got his first hunter's safety lesson from dad and Uncle Chad and got a little target practice in with a 22. They loved playing with their cousins Walker and Wyatt.

32 Candles!!

Once you have children, your birthday cake is no longer your own. I had lots of help celebrating my 32nd birthday at my mom's house.
