Kyle and Reed celebrated their birthday with their friends over the weekend. We found a fun restaurant that included the outdoors, fire (it was cold), and swings for chairs. What more could you want?
Reed had his first school basketball game on Thursday. They only get to have 5 games, and we only get 2 tickets to each game.
They won 50-9 (they turned the scoreboard off at halftime). I asked Reed if they were that good or the other team was that bad, and I think it was a little of both.
Reed is #12
Kyle got a giant Twinkie baking kit for Christmas. It was one of the best and funniest presents I've ever seen.
Kyle and Jason made it the other night, and the ingredients for a giant Twinkie are about as ridiculous as you'd expect. I think there were 3 cups of heavy whipping cream and something like 6 eggs!
But it came out beautifully, and we have more than enough white cream center filling left over to last us few days (or weeks).
The boys toasted to their 13 years with left over NYE sparkling apple cider
Kyle and Reed turn 13 today, which officially means I have a house full of teenagers (until May when I'll have a child that's a legal adult).
I say this all the time, and I'm sure I've said it on here a million times, but Kyle and Reed are the easiest kids on the planet. They have been able to do anything and everything since I can remember, and pretty much just raise themselves.
They make my mom job so easy, and it is so fun to just get to sit back and enjoy them.
I bought gingerbread houses for the boys to make before Christmas, but with everybody having to "study" for finals time just got away from us, so they actually wound up making them between Christmas and New Years.
Like everything in this house, decorating turned in to a contest and I asked Facebook to choose a winner.
People must really love gummy bears, because that seemed to be the overwhelming reason for the win.
Which means this kid was the winner.
