Cannon waiting for Dada

This is Cannon waiting for Dada to come back in from feeding. He was so mad that Travis didn't take him out to feed, and waited by the door for him to come back in. I'm very glad the blinds are built into the door, if they weren't I'm sure they would have been destroyed.

Day #3 - Christmas Day

After a long trip home, we finally got the boys to sleep Christmas Eve. Before the boys were sent off to bed, we were able to leave Santa a couple of cookies and APPLE JUICE. That's right, Apple Juice. I tried to talk Brody into leaving milk for Santa, but he insisted that Santa wanted Apple Juice. Alright!!

Brody was very excited to see the bike that Santa had left for him, and Cannon loves his Basketball hoop (he throws everything through it)

My family came over for Dinner and, yet again, more gifts. No the boys didn't get Gator #3, but they did make out with some great loot.

Thanks everyone for an amazing Christmas.

Day #2

Christmas Eve we headed over the mountain to the Deal family in Oregon. We started the morning off with breakfast, and of course GIFTS!! They received lots of wonderful gifts from everyone. The boys once again walked out into the garage to receive a gift, and...............another Gator!! They were just as shocked and excited to see this one. They love it!! Thank you Grandma & Grandpa Deal.

This is the quilt I made for my in-laws.

Day #1

On Tuesday 12/23 we had family over for Gift Exchange and dinner. The boys were totally spoiled! Nana (my mom) got the boys a John Deere Gator. They were so surprised, and totally loved it!! The best part was Cannon's expressions while Brody was driving.

Coeur D' Alene Resort

Papa Craig had to see if the strings were real, so Brody had to check it out also.

Cannon was not so impressed by the Santa Chair

A couple of weeks before Christmas we made a trip to Spokane to visit my Dad. While we were there we made a visit to Coeur d' Alene resort to see there amazing light show. They didn't have any available reservations for the boat trip on the Lake, but we were able to see some amazing Christmas lights.

Brothers

I thought I would take a quick picture of the boys sitting together. This happens quite a bit, not usually with Cannon on Brody's lap........since Cannon almost weighs as much as Brody. They really do get along well, most of the time. The funny thing is, Brody picks on his brother and teases him endlessly, but if anyone else bugs Cannon, Brody is right there to defend him. Thanks goodness for big brothers!

Thanksgiving

We spent Thanksgiving with Travis's family this year. We headed over on Wednesday evening. The boys were really sick, and not very social. We were pretty lucky to get this picture out of them. It is difficult to get 5 grandkids together all smiling and looking in the same direction!
