Early Birthday

Back in December my mom put Brycen's name on WKDQ birthdays and he won the cake! We had never used the voucher. My brother was coming home for supper one night the week before Corbin's bday so we had a little celebration and used the cake that B won (C the wanted a friend party this year instead of a family one). 

This is my brothers friend that he went to college with. He was down visiting so we were excited to get to see him.

Christmas Morning (in the afternoon)

We normally do Christmas at my parents on Christmas morning, but Ryan worked the night before so he needed to sleep and my parents had just moved so we decided to do it here instead.

January 2016

January was a busy month! 

We started it out by going to the movies with our besties- the DeCoursey's. 

We went up north to Martinsville to surprise my grandma for her birthday 

Girls day plus my two boys 💗 she was so surprised (she thought just my mom was coming)! 

We spent a lot of time at PC games! 

These two- forever friends. 

We babysat Caroline and took her to one of B's games :)

These boys hanging out at a PC game- thankful for good friends- and yes Corbin thinks he is one of the big kids! 

We played in the snow 

Both my girls went to the cheer clinic and cheered with the varsity girls! 

We went to the skate palace for our friend Alba's birthday and the kids all got to use the new roller skates they got from Grandpa Ed and Granny for Christmas. 

We played in the snow some more. 

We had extra playtime due to snow days. 

Corbin went with The DeCoursey's to Indy to the children's museum for Zane's birthday (this was his first time to go with anyone somewhere besides us or my parents. I was a nervous wreck but he had a blast!). 

He also lost his third tooth! 

We babysat baby Caroline two more times! We all love our time with her! 

We cheered PC on some more - AG needed her picture with sweet Erica! (Her mom used to babysit me and then I babysat for her!). 

At the PC game B got his picture taken with Princeton's Jackie Young- the new all time leading scorer in Indiana! 

We watched B play some more- his season ended Thursday. Ryan was helping coach and I coached the cheerleaders so I'm thankful it is over- - we need a break from basketball/cheer 3-4x per week. 

AG and our Lily at a PC game. 

Erica was crowned homecoming queen Friday night! My kids were so excited! They all love her! She is so sweet and very deserving. 

And last but not least - we had a date night! It was great! We aren't good about making this a priority, but we are going to try harder this year. we had a blast and I love laughing with my hubby! 

Can't believe the first month of the year is over! February is rolling in ready or not!  

Christmas Eve

Christmas Eve we had downtime during the day. Corbin and Avelyn had both been fighting off temps/sickness. 

That evening we hosted Christmas with my mom's dad's side of the family. 

After everyone left we did gifts with just our family (and my brother watched because he was spending the night!) 

Annual Christmas pj picture :) 

I got my girls cabbage patch dolls (that come with adoption papers-

So special!). Brings back memories bc my favorite dolls were cabbage patch dolls. They LOVE them and play with them more than any doll before! 

Brycen and I stayed up late (Ryan had to go into work) playing Santa and putting together the littles presents from "Santa" for Christmas morning. It makes me sad my kids are getting so big, but sometimes it is really nice and I appreciated his help so much! 

I'm sure he hopes his dad won't have to work next Christmas Eve night because I am Not a patient toy maker and get quite frustrated! Haha! I love Christmas Eve! 

Knepp Christmas

The Sunday before Chistmas we went to have Christmas with Ryan's family. We had lunch and the opened gifts. The kids all love playing together and it was a nice afternoon just being together. 

Daegan and Mya - they are 2 months apart. 

B and Hailey are 10 mo apart. 

Apparently I was too busy hanging out to take many pictures!
