New Years Eve

My boys love to throw a party!! So excited!

Jackson requested a cookie cake for our New Years Eve Party.

The Yangs came over again for dinner and fireworks.

Lincoln has no fear and loved the fire and setting them off with Daddy.

Extra fun that the neighbor boys were out too. The more the fireworks the better!

Cheers to 2016!!

We played a few more games, and we all were in bed before midnight!

Praying to love God and people audaciously this year!

#hartzchristmas2015 Christmas Eve and Christmas Day

We went to Christmas Eve service at church, and came home to make a pizza.

We all opened our Christmas Eve pajamas, ate pizza, and watched a Christmas movie.

The boys put out cookies for Santa and sprinkled out their Reindeer food.

Santa delivered his presents and Buddy left the boys a note.

Christmas morning the boys were up bright and early. They checked out all their goodies in their stockings while breakfast was cooking. Brian snuck a few surprises in my stocking as well, he knows how much I love Kendra Scott!
