This blog was started in 2008 when we did IVF for the first time to build our family after 5 1/2 years of infertility. We now have 14 and 8 year old boys (thanks to modern medicine) and we are enjoying our blessed life as parents ♥ In the summer of 2016 we took another huge step and moved across the country from Oklahoma to New York! This blog is about life and everything in between

Merry Christmas 2020!

The holidays are just about behind us, and we can say FAREWELL to 2020 next week!

I hope you all had a merry Christmas and thank you to those who had to work on the holidays. I was blessed to be able to spend it with my family since I only work weekends!

We started off the celebrations with some festivities at our town library. They modified their usual fun to make it more safe and pandemic-friendly for the community! The boys were happy to be able to see Santa in person, as well as a donkey and horse. They got to drink hot cocoa and eat candy, got a present from Santa, and say hi to the police dog Otto!








On Christmas Eve we baked chocolate chip cookies for Santa, as well as tiger butter fudge! We made our traditional Arby's imitation dinner and watched Home Alone 2. After the movie we went and looked at Christmas lights in town, then had hot cocoa before bed.







That night, I caught Santa bringing all the presents!!!


The boys were so excited when they got up! They couldn't wait to tear into their gifts. Bradley's main present was a brand new Raspberry Pi computer, and Jacob's favorite was a game and a drawing pad. Their stockings were full of candy and goodies! After presents, we enjoyed biscuits and sausage gravy for brunch.







We continued our NY tradition of a delicious Mexican feast for dinner! Nick and I made homemade tamales last week, so to that we added chicken enchiladas, Mexican rice, refried beans, and jalapeno poppers. YUM


Apple pie was dessert, and the boys slept soundly after a full day of fun and food.
