In Tyler's words, "I'm just a cute little boy!"


Christmas Morning






Riley and Jeremy spent a lot of time this christmas season making gifts for their brothers, Lane and I. All of this was their own idea and their own paper creations. We didn't even pull the craft stuff out. They just did it and then asked for help wrapping. Lane and I were a little concerned how some would be received (i.e. having the proper enthusiasm when they are side by side with all the other gifts). The boys all surpassed our expectations. Those special paper creations were the best. I enjoyed the gratitude that the boys all showed when opening one of these handmade gifts from their brother. My absolute favorite gift was one Riley made about 3 weeks before christmas. A paper taco for Jeremy. As Jeremy opened the present he pulled pieces of different shapes and colors, and Riley announced, "I made him a Taco because I love tacos and so does he!" Also included, a set of directions to assemble the taco. The picture is not a good one of Jeremy but it showed the taco. Jeremy was so pleased!
