For me, it is so hard trying to narrow down which pictures to showcase, so thank heavens for collages! 

Say Cheese!

After Thanksgiving we were able to take some family photos which has been something I have been wanting to do for a very long time. I admit I do have an obsession with taking photos of my children and husband whenever I can conjure up cute photo ops. But this time around, we had a professional photographer do the clicking for us. Her name is Kelly Jacks and she is wonderful! The boys looked so cute and were such good sports for us the entire time. We were lucky enough to take them at the JW Marriott here in Vegas which for me was a perfect background. Lots of trees, grass, and water. Kind of like my own little Washington. I am also a big fan of candids and so is Kelly. She was able to capture Josh and Drew perfectly as well as the whole family together. This really was a dream come true for me as corny as that sounds. Hopefully we'll be able to continue and make this a Hixson tradition.

Trying Again!

Well, here's to another try at blogging considering our first and last post was in October.

Playing at the Park

Josh absolutely loves, loves, loves to go to the park. I'm pretty sure he asks me EVERYDAY if we can go. :) In his words..."Can we go to the park?" "I want to meet new friends." He is our very own social butterfly and will play with anyone who is within his line of sight. He loves to make friends and play on the toys!

Thanksgiving

This year we were able to enjoy having Jeremy's mom and brother come visit from California and share Thanksgiving with us. Josh had such a good time with "Nana" and uncle Jason. He loves whenever we have family visit. This was Drew's 1st time meeting uncle Jason and it was fun to see the two of them together. It was also funny to watch Jeremy and his mom have fun wrestling with each other. Besides celebrating Thanksgiving, we also did an early Christmas with the kids so that Nana and uncle Jason could watch the boys open presents. It's amazing what a wrapped present does to a child! The trains were a big hit with Josh and Drew couldn't keep the toy dinosaurs out of his mouth. We are so thankful for all we have been given, especially for our families and friends. God has truly blessed us beyond measure.

 

It's About Time

We went to a friend's Halloween party at a park where Josh and Drew dressed up as bats. Josh had lots of fun playing with all the other kids.

What cuties!

Josh as a bat! He loved running around with his arms out so his wings would show.
