These are some proud and very loving big brothers!

Thanks Grandma Jastifer

Grandma Jastifer came over the other day to spend some time with Ethan, Caleb, and Blake. It was nice to have her here and she even brought dinner! Thanks for all the help with the boys! Grandpa came to hang out too!

Blake Marcus Jastifer

Christmas Eve was very memorable this year with the birth of our third son, Blake Marcus. He weighed in at 8 pounds 8 ounces and was 22 inches long. He is so precious and we feel so blessed! A wonderful Christmas gift!

Playgroup Christmas Party

Our playgroup had their Christmas party a couple days ago with good food, friends and of course a visit from Santa where all the kids received books and a candy cane! Ethan was super excited asking Santa how he got there and where his sleigh was parked. He even told Santa that he could hear his reindeer up on the roof. It is so much fun to see the excitement and joy on the kids faces in awe of the big man in the red suit! Santa just showed up and the kids did not know what to think!

Ethan about to get his gift from Santa :)

Christmas Cookies

Yesterday the kids decorated Christmas cookies and enjoyed cutting the cookies out, frosting them (of course, licking the frosting off their fingers), pouring on the sprinkles, and the best part of all....eating them!

Gingerbread House

Now that my kids are getting older, I find it fun to get creative, especially around Christmas time! This year I bought a gingerbread house for the kids to decorate all on their own. My hope was they were more interested in decorating with the candy than eating it and for the most part, Ethan did. Caleb on the other hand could have eaten it all! They had fun and surprisingly worked well together since I only had one house for them to decorate. Ethan told me tonight as I was putting him to bed that he hopes the candy is still good after Christmas so he can eat it off the house :) Like I said, Ethan wanted to eat it afterward!:)
