OU Basketball

 BASKETBALL...
my boys LOVE basketball right now
I think the boys loving basketball for Brian is equivalent to Ella loving dance for me
This is one of the OU games we made it to...

Legos in OKC

 JuJu told us about a fun exhibit in OKC with Legos.  
We had a free morning and headed that way!
When we got there we ran into lots of friends...fun surprise!
 Haynes loved the Thunder exhibit
Port loved making his own creation

Day of Fun!

 Since Port had a fun day planned, I had to find a way to make Haynes and Ella's day seem comparable:-)  They've been asking to go to JumpZone for months so I surprised them and headed that way.  
Halle loved it!  
She hasn't been there since she was a few days old.  We let her cry it out there because she had her days and nights confused and the loud fans made it bearable for everyone else:-)
These two can be best of friends and worst of enemies all within the same minute!  I have to admit they did a GREAT job playing together, especially since there wasn't any other options:-)  We had a great day together and they definitely look forward to their day with Daddy!

Port's Day at the Brick Plant

 Brian should probably write this post, but I will have to make do....
Brian had told Port that he would take him to the plant with him one day over Christmas break, Port couldn't hardly wait!  He got to bring his new 3DS to play with during times that Brian couldn't entertain:-)
 He got to go out on the yard and climb on all the trucks!
 Spend the day with Grandad and tour the plant
 Check out the fire brick!
His cousins even came down to meet them for lunch.  They invited him to come back home with them, but he chose to stay with Daddy.  I would say the day was a complete success!

LOVE THESE TWO...

Our kids REALLY love to cuddle with us!  We actually had to have a family conversation about staying in YOUR bed:-)  Brian lead the discussion and while he was talking I was thinking, "they are still going to sneak into our bed!"  In the next instant Haynes asked, "can we still sneak into your bed!"
  I love that kid!!
These two cuddle bugs melt my heart...I'm so thankful for cuddle bugs:-)

Movie Night

Lolli had these cute sleeping bags made for their Christmas gifts.  We had a movie night and everyone grabbed their sleeping bag for our family night!

Christmas Eve....

 Norman Community had their very own Christmas Eve service with the kids acting out the Christmas story.  Lolli and Champ came to watch...this is with their two angels!
 The kids did a great job.  The boys were shepherds and did an awesome job on their speaking part.  (you can kinda see the BIG shepherd Brian keeping up with the little ones)
Ella loved her part but did face the back while saying, "GLORY TO GOD IN THE HIGHEST!"
*Our favorite part might have been when Beau, the star, came down the isle and was greeted by Shepherd Haynes with a high 5!
 Next to Poppy's house...so thankful for these memories!
Ella and Izzy made the punch and didn't mind tasting it along the way either!
 Next to Lolli and Champs for Christmas PJ's!
Granma did a great job...look they all fit!!
Final phase of the night is back at our house to put things together.  We didn't have much work to do this year, so we decided to play the Xbox instead...
yes EVERYONE enjoyed a little dancing!
