It has been an incredible year.  There are no words to describe my gratitude for everything 2015 has brought to me and our family.  

And as it is New Year's Eve...we continue the tradition. We have always hosted a new year's party.  And although in the past it was all adults, food and drinks...some things haven't changed.  No matter what the makeup, the { L Family } has always been there.  The last two years it has been just the 8 of us.  We played, laughed, drank (well...not the kiddos unless you count the sparkling grape juice)...it was the best way to ring in the new year.    

I like to see him doing something for enjoyment sake.  He works so hard and gives so much to us...I wish he would take out more time for himself....he deserves it and so much more. 

Just so you know.  If you eat homemade pizzas in our house, you get a little something extra special with them.  Made with love by { baby little } and mommy.

Daddy is home with us for the whole week....and we are truly loving it.  

He asked Santa for the Lego space shuttle set for Christmas.  I imagined that it would take him a couple days, maybe a week to complete.  It took 3 hours.  He's a smart one, that boy.  And then he showed me how it works.  I love his imagination and creativity.  

It was a Lolly the Trolley Tour to the Christmas Story house.  As long as I can remember we have spent Christmas day watching the movie on a loop.  Pawpaw, Nena and our little fam enjoyed exploring the home.  {Big Boy Little } and I recreated parts of the movie ourselves.   

Baking sweater cookies for Santa, writing letters with stickers with their Crayola's....a Christmas movie and some cookies for the boys.
