Striped Jammies

Adorable boys on Christmas morning

Sorry Elmo

Last week we went to a Christmas party that was put

 on for the families of the deployed Marines. It was   

a lot of fun - Miles had a great time trying to bust open the poor Elmo pinata.

I like this picture because Miles reminds me of one of those ventriloquist dummies.

Here we have Miles and Miles. They get a kick out of having the same name.

Songs and Santa

Miles school put on a little Christmas program last week. It was so cute to see all the little preschooler performing the songs they had learned. Then the kids were surprised with a visit from Santa.

Nico the Bear

Nicholas Lamar

Our darling Nico is 4 months old today! I say it all the time, but he is an absolute angel. He is so sweet, so cuddly, so smiley. He is my little buddy and he makes me so happy!!

I look at these two boys I have and I feel so honored to be their Mom.

Motherhood is truly one of the greatest gifts.

Oh...

I miss him.

Thanksgiving

Three things that I am hugely thankful for this year are my boys! Lamar, Miles, and Nicholas make me so happy and I'm so grateful to have them! I look forward to next Thanksgiving, when all four of us will be in the picture. Lamar was happy because they had a Thanksgiving dinner that included "real turkey and real ham". I'm glad they got a little something special. Happy Thanksgiving!!
