January 16

Memphis was not feeling the best on this day.  He couldn't keep anything down and was just so tired and cuddly.  Once Randy got home, they thought it would be best to lay down in the hallway!  Thankfully they didn't campout there too long.  But as you can see it was just one of those days of relaxing and trying to take it easy!

Thankfully he is doing better now, however we are just battling ear infections!

January 2

After our trip we were finally able to celebrate Christmas with Grandma Bailey and Nancy.  We had a nice dinner and a great evening of opening gifts!!

And yes Chris, when you take my phone and take a selfie they might end up on here!!! HA!!!

Disney World 2015

This year Mom and Brent took us all to Disney World to celebrate Christmas!  What a great time we had!!!  The 5 days of vacation went by so quickly.  The weather was awesome, 86 degrees each day!  The boys had such an amazing time and none of us wanted to leave.  Memphis was just tall enough to ride most roller coasters!  He loved them all, so did Noah, minus the Tower of Terror, I do not think he will do that one ever again. Memphis was not a fan of the characters.  He liked to watch from a distance just not up close, so you will not see him next to any characters except Cinderella and that was only if Randy was holding him!
We ate at some amazing restaurants, even the boys ate the food!  Thanks for the wonderful trip, mom and Brent!
Part of the trip was also from my grandma (nan).  She asked mom to make sure to take all of us.  It was nice knowing that nan was there in spirit with us.

Here are a bunch of pictures!  In no particular order.

Christmas Day

Merry Christmas!
Today is a much more laid back day.  We sleep in, or sleep as long as Memphis will allow us to sleep!  Which is usually until 5:30 or 6am.  Once we all got up we headed to Creston to celebrate Christmas with my family.
This year we decided to keep dinner to something simple and not a huge dinner.  It was wonderful!  Sandwiches and chili and some sides.
I forgot to take a lot of pictures as after lunch and opening gifts we (adults) sat down and played cards.  We all brought a bunch of quarters. I think Randy and I won a whooping $8!!!!

Christmas Eve

Santa comes on Christmas Eve morning at our house.  The boys woke up very excited and couldn't wait to open their gifts!!  Grandpa and Grandma Palmer came over with cinnamon rolls to have after we open gifts.  Then they have to take off shortly so they can get ready for Christmas at their house later that day.

Memphis was so excited to open gifts he rushed right through his in about 3 minutes!!  Noah took his time and enjoyed opening his gifts!

After we open gifs and rest for a bit we then head to Craig and Peggy's house for Christmas with them.  We have a big dinner and then open gifts!  It is a full day of fun and lots of gift opening!!

As you can see from the pictures we had a wonderful time!

Randy got a new hat, which he loves.  Peggy and Craig got everyone their pictures (which is a nice picture of them).  Chris wanted to recreate a moment from a couple of years ago of him and Memphis in a box.  This time we added Bailey!  

We took the annual picture of Grandma and Grandpa with the grandkids picture.
