Hope everyone had a great Christmas!

Look what I can do!

I think Jackson has a little more Birdwell in him than we thought. He can catch, and here is proof! I think we will be in touch with an agent in the very near future!

This is cold and snowy!

This post is for my sister in Phoenix who swears she is cold in 60 degree weather. Kate tried to tell me over the phone that "60 really feels a lot colder in Phoenix for some reason". I love that.

This post can also be dedicated to my aunt and uncle in southern California who call with excitement to let us know that they "might get snow too"!

I hate to break it to you guys...this is what snow looks like! It is very cold (about 5 degrees at the moment) and actually sticks to the ground.

Jackson didn't quite know what to think about it this morning. I may chalk his un-enthusiastic attitude to the nap he missed. Either way, he kind of kicked it around and just studied the snow falling. It is so funny to watch his expressions sometimes because he is so serious while he is trying to figure things out for the first time. He is too young to realize it, but he has oficially had his first "snow day". Too bad he is not old enough to realize that means a free day from school!

Who says overalls are out of style? Thanks to a very stylish aunt of mine (Gretchen) Jackson has enjoyed so many adorable clothes! These overalls are another one of my obsessions recently and they are also very warm since they have this cute lining. We need all the help we can get when it is only 5 degrees out!

By the way, who could ever tell from these happy pictures that this kid has a double ear infection??? We are getting the tubes put in January 15th, so hopefully it will work...cross your fingers!

What is Christmas without a little "Gourmetta"? It is the most adorable thing ever! Each person gets their own little grill things that you fill with whatever meat, veggies and spices you want. How cute, right?
Then you take a little holiday gourmetta gathering, add a few really fun girls who never get a chance to drink (mostly myself)and voila...a very Merry pre-Christmas!!

Oops...did I forget to mention our wonderful husbands, who were also a lot of fun? Sorry guys, we love you too!

I thought we would never see the day! Jackson has finally found his way to help with Liam! Having two kids under two is challengins at best. The term multi-tasking, I am convinced, came from a mother with young kids. But all of the diapers, meals, whining, and spit up is a very small price to pay when I get to see moments like these. I know how blessed I am to be able to stay at home with my boys so I don't miss out on a single minute. You just never know when they decide to do something as sweet at this!
