Ho Ho Ho time!

"Its the most wonderful time of the year..." You sure??

Our first snow fall. It was such a fun day, and so exciting with Christmas coming. But wow, it hasn't stopped snowing since!!

One of my favorite days of the year (more then Christmas day), is decorating the tree and

putting out all the holiday decorations. The Magic never ceases to come. This year was even more

fun because we got to dig through my moms decorations! I think it turned out nice.

Off to see Santa...this year we took a horse drawn sleigh ride to his work shop. Got to mix it up!

"not quite sure who or what you are, but Halle and Cohen seem to like you..."

 

Christmas Party with my girls. Hope we are still doing this when we are 60!!
Love them all to pieces

 

 

My Loves

 

 

Christmas Eve breakdown: take-out from Texas Roadhouse, decorating cookies for Santa, missing our parents, skyping with our families, missing our grandparents, HYPERNESS, pajamas under the tree, a LONG night of wrapping & wanting to cherish these moments forever, even when they are hard.

My brother Chris and his daughter Nina joined us this year

 

 Here is some cookies Santa!! Yum Yum

Turning 32..not much else to say

Christmas "sing a long" at Cottonwood Elementary

Can't have Christmas without toys. Here are the kids out shopping & playing with Dad

 

Christmas morning happened so fast and with very little pictures taken. The hot story this year was my kids, Giant bears & Elelephant. This was their big present from Santa and they have loved them to pieces ever since. Halle also got a "baby alive" who really does pee and poo, and Cohen got his first "laptod' (touch screen computer). James was excited about all his cars and nick nacks. Mommy got a nice new set of dishes:) Ahhh.

 

Merry Christmas 2012!!
