I think I may quit blogging... I am terrible at it!



We had a nice, but rushed, Christmas Eve with Robs family. They were supposed to leave Christmas Day to head to Brazil to be with Carrie and Wes but the flight got moved to Christmas Eve afternoon (they didn't know till that morning). So, we rushed through presents and ate standing up but we still got to enjoy it!

Here are a few pics...

Annie slept through most of it...

Anyone need their nails done?

So then we headed to my parents house to spend Christmas Eve night and then again on Christmas Day... Andy, Julie and Sarah (my brother, sis-n-law and niece) got there from Louisiana that evening... The kids had a blast with their cousin! (this is new for us)

Juile did a great breakdown on her blog so I am going to refer you to her posts...

here, here, here, and this is pretty cute too!

Here are some more pics from my camera...

So happy to see Sarah....I don't think she knew Syds face literally would be in her face for the WHOLE time she was here~
The best we could get with the 3 of them...

An attempt to get the 4...

Aunt Katie(still not used to that) and Sarah

Christmas morning coming down to see what Santa left... Love his face.

Love her face...

Syd got a new, bigger bike. She also got one last year from Santa but needed a bigger one! Hopefully next year she will ask for something different.

Gabe asked for a new goal for our playroom. He had worn the other one out!

Poor Annie was so stuffed up her little eyes were so watery!

THen we made the long trip (5 doors down) to my parents house in our jammies...

Reading the book my mom made for Syd...

Yearly Christmas shot...

Self- timer shot...

We really had a WONDERFUL Christmas and are blessed beyond belief!

Hopefully next Christmas the kids other two little cousins (Graham and Gibson) will be in town too!!!

Cutting it close

We usually do this like right after Thanksgiving....Better late then never!

I really wish this Santa would come read me a bed time story....he has the BEST voice!

She's trying to be one...

A thumb sucker that is... I've never had one but Annie is working pretty hard to be one. I have to admit...It's pretty cute. I may not think that when she is 5 but for now it's okay.
