The boys on a fun tube ride.

Mom on a tube ride.

Braxton and Michael went on every slide but one in the waterpark.

This was a huge bucket of water that would dump periodically. The water force was pretty strong, it would take the boys' swim trunks down.

So...what are we up to now? The boys are exhausting their play on all of their Christmas toys. They are back to being super silly, and both entertaining and wearing their mother out. We have put away all the Christmas, the fun visitors are all gone, chores are back in force, and poor Dad is consumed with studying for his boards. I think we need a vacation already.

I wish they would stay this way, it would be so much quieter. I swear they did this to themselves, I had nothing to do with it.

> I figure I had better get some of our Christmas photos up before I forget. We had a great Christmas. My sister and her family visited us from Indiana. We had so much fun playing together and opening presents. The boys were a joy to watch. It was a nice relaxing day. We did try to set up webcams so all our family could watch, it sort of worked. We hope you all had a great Christmas too.

WAY TO GO SCOT!!! Scot graduated on the 13th of December. We are all so proud of you. We also enjoyed a wonderful visit with Scot's parents during this time. We miss you.

This past weekend we decorated our house for the holidays (when I say "we" that was just Mom with some help, if you can call it that, from the boys). However, the boys did decorate their gingerbread house all by themselves. Braxton was very meticulous about everything and Michael was really interested in eating it. It turned out great. The boys love having the Christmas tree up and are very excited for Santa this year.
