Winter fun!

                                 

The boys have been enjoying some indoor and outdoor winter fun. Enjoy the photos and videos! We are gearing up for a busy February including Owen's 4th birthday (crazy!). We'll have lots more to share soon.

Christmas and New Years!

Well we are finally getting back on track after a busy, but very fun holiday. Both Owen and Gavin got into the whole Santa thing this year. We had fun making him cookies and were excited to see that he ate them all! The boys had so much fun visiting all of their grandparents and other family in Iowa. Gavin loved helping Uncle Daniel with the luminaries, opening gifts "open it!" and wearing everything as a hat. Owen loved opening gifts, helping others open their gifts and decorating the Christmas cookies. He also commented on how fun it was to stay up late each night! They also had their first experience in the Flattery Talent Show. Owen, after a lot of thought, got up the nerve and performed his favorite song "Dynamite" with Grandpa Mike. Both boys did really well with all of the traveling. They have been enjoying their new toys and books. Santa brought them a mini trampoline and sit and spin which have been so helpful in burning off those sillies.

On New Year's Eve we had a sleep over at Uncle Jennon & Aunt Beth's. The boys had a lot of fun playing with cousin Cooper and friends Will and Addy. They enjoyed saying, "Happy New Year", wearing the hats and blowing the noise makers. (Poor Gus!)  We have been slowly getting back into the routine of going back to work, school and daycare. Owen started his first week of Dancersize and had a blast. They sang and did moves about cleaning the house! Gotta love that! Gavin is continuing to work on all 4 eye teeth. One is especially bothersome these days. He has been having a hard time sleeping but making up for it with lots of daytime cuddling.

Hope everyone enjoyed their holidays as well! We are looking forward to another great year!
