16 Days of Family Time --- Christmas Vacation 2014

The holidays with kids are magical…just magical. Although both of the boys had some upper-respiratory yuckiness, we had a great time together over the holidays. Truly a great time.

So many fun memories --- JE's 1st Christmas and RF's 3rd, cousin-time, the Georgia Aquarium, lots of Finding Nemo, Planes, and Curious George while curled up on the couch together, arts and craft projects, and sleeping in (sort of, sleeping in for our boys is 6:30).

We are so excited for what 2015 holds for the Hawk family and are thankful for the blessings 2014 brought to us.

Christmas morning…
Well our Christmas morning at home. We spent Christmas in Georgia, so we did Christmas at our house the weekend before. 

Loving his car from Santa...

Ellis wondering what in the world he is looking at...

I don't know about this, mama...

Opening his Harold the Helicopter (his want - we do the four present rule - a want, a need, a read and a wear present) from his daddy and me. 

Alright, mama. I see how this works...

RF's favorite spot in his Nana and Babu's yard…the fish pond. 

Picking flowers (dandelions) for mama...

Playing peek-a-boo with daddy...

Playing with his new train table and his new Toby engine from Nana and Babu on Christmas morning...

Ellis's first Christmas (wearing the same pajamas as his brother did on his first Christmas)...

This is why I call Ellis my Happiness…all smiles. 

Something else to chew on, mama…teething stinks. 

Playing trains with Nana…

How cute am I, mama? 

RF teaching Ellis about his trains...

"Robert's on a train, mama!"
