Holiday catch up

















We spent Christmas at home this year and it was quite busy for us. We have 6 sets of missionaries serving in our ward and they needed somewhere to go Christmas morning, so naturally Steven volunteered to have them over. It was really quite fun to have such a full house but we spent lots of time cooking! I made mom's cinnamon rolls successfully (last time I killed the yeast), monkeys, and bacon while Steven cooked the biscuits and gravy.

Before all the boys ate us out of house and home, Tanner got to see what Santa brought him. He was super excited about his new tool bench and tools. He looked super cute in the outfit that nana sent for him. Tanner was feeling a little overwhelmed so he decided to sit down in his Elmo chair. He sighed a big sigh of relief and started listing off all the different new toys he had to play with. That was the best part of the day!

We went to Orlando to spend new year's eve with Serena. We had started a harry potter marathon but ended up switching to a new discovery firefly and serenity. I gave Steven tickets to the last Bucs game of the season for his birthday. We were 8 rows from the field! Serena was nice enough to watch Tanner so we could go enjoy the game. It was 19 degrees outside with the wind blowing! the Bucs lost, but it was really fun to watch Steven get so excited about his very first pro football game.

Happy New Year!

Tanner's new favorite thing seems to be playing the wii. He will often say, "Play games? I play games? Dadda play games? Momma play games?" When we are tired of playing, he usually throws a fit b/c he's not done playing. Steven brought home the new Mario Brothers game and we played it until 10:30 last night. Steve jumped and missed something and said, " Oh Crap!" Tanner immediately said, "Oh Crap!" I looked at Tanner with a surprised face and then he gasped, "Oh no!" I couldn't help but laugh! time to start screaning what we say, do, and watch around our child(ren) in August!
