Merry Christmas friends!  I took the last few days off to spend with these little munchkins…and will be back at it next week, but I wanted to wish you guys the very merriest Christmas.  I hope it is filled with family and friends and loved ones (yes, even fur babies count!) and full plates and even fuller hearts.  I really really do.

We have lots of family plans for this weekend…and the boys are counting down the HOURS till Santa comes.  And the best news is that my Grandmother who we call Mummum is doing a lot better.  My mom and dad went up to my grandparents house this week and I got to FaceTime with them last night around midnight.  Yes…my entire family is chock full of night owls and they were about to start a movie 🙂

My Mummum had a couple strokes earlier this year and we honestly didn’t know what this holiday season would look like but she has had a couple procedures that have helped her and her talking is even back now!  It’s a huge improvement even since Thanksgiving!  AND…now they have wi-fi!  It’s a christmas miracle 🙂

This weekend we are doing our Christmas eve church event….three out of four boys are in the service and the bells are really something to behold.  Literally, it is a very joyful noise.  And we are all looking forward to christmas with cousins, Jeremy’s annual Christmas waffles, and lots of remote control trucks.

ALSO….and this is a BIG surprise that the boys don’t know…..THIS YEAR WE ARE GETTING A PUPPY!!!!

We have been talking about adding a family pet for quite a few years now and we finally decided to get a pup!  We talked to a lot of different people and decided that with our particular needs (small children, allergies, etc.) we would need to go through a breeder and we have been watching the mommy dog (her name is Poppy! How cute is that!) as she was pregnant and gave birth to our little guy and we even have a name picked out and he will be ready in mid January.  So this christmas we are giving the boys all the dog gear and a ‘late delivery’ notice from Santa.  They are gonna go nuts!

All that to say…we wish you a very very Merry Christmas!

p.s.  I announced on Instagram that if you had any extra Christmas cards that you wanted to send our way….it’s a highlight EVERY year for us.  The boys LOVE seeing your kids and your pets and your happy faces!  You can send them to….
