Amber, Landon and Evalyn came to mom tonight to stay before Christmas. It was so great seeing them. Evalyn is growing up too fast and we don't get to see them enough. She loved the boys and they kept her busy. They played with the bucket of toys and had tons of snacks. That girl loves jello and yogurt just like the boys. Before bed we watched the Ref which is one of the many favorite Christmas movies that we love to watch. Evalyn didn't sleep well that night though. We were all up @ 4am with her making Christmas eve a very very long day.

December 21st


I didn't realize how often the trains ran past my parents house. It took me a day or two to get used to all the trains. So I had to take some pictures for a reference when we put the boys train track together that my dad got them. Just need to finish up the basement so we can set it up and get the town built.

December 17th Cupp Christmas

Great Grandmother and all the grandkids

Cupp family Christmas was a success. It was nice seeing Jenn and her family and Cathy and her family. We only get to see each a couple of times a years so we look forward to these special occasions. The boys had a great time playing with their cousins and their grandparents and of course exchanging gifts. It rained most of the weekend which was a change from snow but I am thankful for that since we did a lot of traveling. WE had a great prime rib dinner and had our annual Wii tournament. Owen and I made it to the second round but ended up losing so unfortunately we did not get to bring home the trophies. Justin stayed saturday night with us but had to leave sunday to head home for work. The boys and I will miss him but we look forward to visiting with everyone for 2 weeks

December 16th Lori's Birthday Dinner

Happy Birthday to Lori!! We took her out to dinner @ El Torro's for some margueritas and tacos. We had a lovely time visiting with each other. Lori's birthday theme was coffee since she loves Coffee. She got chocolate covered espresso beans, a Kaluha gift set, coffee flavored whip creme, a bunch of different flavored coffees, and so much more!! After we closed down El Torro's we headed through McD's for some sweet tea and cokes then on to the purple store. It was a great night :)

December 15th Our Christmas




Instead of hauling all the presents we bought for the boys home we decided to let them open them before we made the trip to Indiana. They were so excited to see what they got this year that I hardly got any pictures. They tore through their presents so fast. But above are the best one I took. Merry Christmas to everyone and we hope you have a safe holiday

Owen hanging out and playing video games before bedtime. He is so excited to be going home this weekend. He is ready to visit with everyone in Indiana :)
Ashton has mastered his pogo stick. He is showing you how he jumps with one leg and is currently trying to master doing it with now hands. I am not so sure if I like that idea but what can you do... this child is a daredevil :)
