Aaahhhh, Spring.

Well, for a couple days, at least. I think it will cool off again for a little while before it's actually here to stay, but I'll take what I can get. I've always said my favorite season is summer, but I'm starting to realize that I also love spring very, very much. Maybe it's the anticipation of tank tops and flip flops and sunny heat. Or maybe it's having my windows open without being too cold or too hot and trips to the park without bundling up. Whatever it is, I like it.

A Few of My Favorite January Pics

What a Man!

Izaak asked what I wanted for Christmas and I told him I wanted a new shiny brown bag. He and Shiloh picked this out all by themselves. Didn't they do a great job? I was very impressed. :)

Christmas at the Toliver's

I love Christmas - the smells, the lights, the food. And Christmas with kids is absolutely the best. Here are a few highlights from our house.

The boys each got to open one gift on Christmas eve - matching PJ's. Cheesy, I know, but so cute!





Then we took a middle of the night trip to meet our brand new niece, Elyse Noelle. What a fun gift! Shiloh thought it was time to open up presents when we got home at 3:30 am, but we told him he had to sleep again for a little while... poor confused kid. :)




Shiloh could hardly contain himself Christmas morning. We open our gifts one at a time, and we had to force him to take a breath in between. He also got double duty this year - he opened all of Eli's presents too. :) Eli loved the paper, just like an 8-month-old should. Here are a few of my faves. I know. I have a lot of faves.

Merry Christmas!
