Sleep in heavenly peace

She told us that she was going to make it until midnight. She was out well before 9:00pm. 

And Beau? Well, he took an impromptu trip to All Star sports with his baseball buddies. So cute. I've not seen him move that fast to get out the door and join his friends in a long time. And he is still not home.

Brian and I? Pizza, beer, chocolates, fire in the fireplace and Modern Family on TV.

2013 is ending on a high note! 

Many blessings for 2014!

OSU Basketball

We caught a Cowboy basketball game last night and it was so great to be back in Gallagher Iba Arena and this time to be with my boys! Because the students were out of school, we were able to sit in the General Admission seats on the floor. It was great! I love my Cowboys, and my favorite men, so it was the perfect day!!

 We were trying to get Beau to get us with more of the court behind us, and this is what he took. Really? It makes me laugh, though. Couldn't see your finger was in the way, buddy?

Marcus Smart. 'Nuff said.

 Beau "kind of" getting his picture taken with Pistol Pete. Ha ha. Great night. Great seats. Great company.

Christmas in Oklahoma!

Always a fun and fast day - spending time with our cousins (for Beau and Bren) and my siblings, in-laws, parents, and nieces and nephews. The kids are getting so big, and man, do they love to be around each other.  We were missing Makayla this year, but she was off having fun.  The other kiddo's enjoyed their time together, though.  Always a good time at Me Ma and Pa Pa's.

The boys.  Game planning, literally.  They are playing the Wii.

My love for this lil' gent….is strong.

My loves.

I think he digs his cape.  I know I did.

Every puppy needs their own blankie.

This sweet, sweet face.

They  are so cute together.

Dirty Santa!  Now the fun starts.

Ryan is quite the gamer.

Sweet hands rolling dice.

Whadda you get Alyson?

Yeah!

I love these sweet faces so much. And why can I not remember to take pictures of my parents or my siblings?  Geez.  I am a terrible photographer.  Resolution for 2014 - take more pictures of my family and not just my kids!!

Christmas Day!!!

Always a lovely day in the Grant house. We stay in jammies all day. Play with new toys, and Brian and I try to take naps, although, that never seems to happen. We spend most of the day picking up the house. Amazing how we spend all this time prepping for Christmas, and it's over in a flash! Oh well, here are some special moments.

"Softy"  The new dog that Santa Claus brought.

His new chair and ottoman that Santa brought. It's so cool.

New books to read!

New X-box game

headphones!

KD shoes - I think he liked them.

I loved this doll. She is lukewarm on it, though. It's not a dog, for those of you keeping score at home.

We had a great day. Sure love our kids. And oh, let this be remembered as the Christmas that Brian and I bought each other - unknowingly - the EXACT same OSU sweatshirt. Yep. Sure did.  I took mine back.  Love you, but not enough to dress like twinkles.

Twas the Night Before Christmas….

And all through the house…. the kids slept in the spare bedroom so they could listen for Santa Claus, or at the very least, wake up at the same time to see what he left.  So sweet.

I loved our tree this year.  Gold and leopard.  Great combo.

Bren decided to leave a note this year too.

Ernie is our Elf. The kids miss him after he leaves.

Come and get it, Santa Claus and your reindeers!
