Year 2013

Year 2013 was a great year! There were fun times along with some difficult times. This year was filled with lots of change as well. I love looking back and seeing how God worked. It is amazing to think of where we were a year ago and where we are now. I also love to see how much the boys have grown in a year.

The year started with a big snow storm! So there was lots of sledding!

We fell head over heals for this girl.

What an amazing year! I am looking forward to what 2014 will bring!

Christmas at Grammy and Granddad's House

After waking up at our own house on Christmas morning, we headed out to see Todd's parents in Jonesboro. Tallulah was not quite sure about what was going on, but Bailey knows the drill. He's laying down resting.  She cried for the first few minutes, but then she laid down and never made another peep. Sweet girl. 

More presents at Grammy and Granddad's!

These two always love to get in Grammy's big tub!

We had lots of food and fun at Grammy and Granddad's house! The boys always love spending time with them, and we always have a relaxing wonderful time.

Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas from the Bunches!

Christmas Eve and Christmas Morning

This year we went to Immanuel's Christmas Eve service. It brought back so many memories from when I was little. It was a little challenging keeping both boys quiet and Ben scratched his head while holding his candle and almost set his hair on fire, but other than that it was perfect. ;-)

We came home and had a quick bite with my family. Then Santa came!!

He brought a bicycle, train set, and microphone for Luke, and he brought a punching bag, wii with games, and cowboys and Indians set for Ben. 

Ben was so excited to see what Santa brought the next morning. Luke wasn't so sure. ;-)

Luke loved his microphone the most!

Ben fell over from all the excitement. 

Trains!

Ben is explaining how Santa knew the exact cowboys and Indians he wanted. 

Luke got Ben a gigantic whoopie cushion. Ha!

Piano! My little musician wanted drums, microphone, piano, and guitar for Christmas. Sweet boy.

Bow and Arrow!

Guitar

Now Luke has a bike like big brother!

Santa brought Mommy a special treat! I was very surprised! :)

Tallulah says "Merry Christmas!"

Luke putting his instruments to good use.
