Happy Holidays Everyone!!

Merry Christmas!

From our family to yours, have a wonderful Christmas

and a very blessed New Year.

Have a terrific weekend!

It's Beginning to Look a lot Like Christmas!

The yard is all decorated with our small inflateables that my boys LOVE,

and the bright lights are up!

Everyone is anxiously awaiting the big day!

Mary & Joseph are waiting the arrival of Baby Jesus

O' Christmas Tree ~ Decorated, Bright, & Beautiful

The Stockings Were Hung by the Chimney with Care!

It's the most wonderful time of the year!!!!!!

Wordless Wednesday!

Christmas Eve With the Family

What is it?!?!?

Trying to patiently wait to open presents.


A Transformers laptop.

Smiling with Nanny.

Every year I host Christmas Eve dinner for my Mom's side of the family and we exchange our gifts with them then. After a wonderful dinner we all gather down in my family room and exchange gifts with each other.

The Excitement of Christmas Morning

Wow...how did Santa know!

Buzz, Woody and Friends.

Daddy...will you open this for me? Ray loved it as much as I did.

Checking his stocking!

Look Mom and Dad!

Buzz Lightyear. The only thing he asked for!!

Chewbacka!

His face says it all!!


Waiting until everyone is ready to begin opening present!


If you notice, looking through the blinds in the living room, it is still dark out. Yes, we were up and ready at 6:10am!!


I could not ask for more!! Santa did a great job this year and they boys were thrilled with the MANY gifts Sants brought this year. Their excitement and joy is better than any present I could ever receive. It is all about the children and each year I make sure it is the most memorable Chrismas yet. I was once told, traditions and memories are made when they are young and I will carry on the fun forever!! Those are the memories I want to remember and create for their future. Merry Christmas boys!! I love you!! May you always remember these special Christmas times and how important family is.

Mery Christmas Everyone!!

Christmas Jammies

They are not decorated with Santa, Reindeer, or Candy Canes, but the kids are thrilled and happy when wearing them. It's all about the kiddos and each year Christmas Jammies are important.

How sweet - holding hands without me asking them to!

"To infinity and beyond" Buzz Lightyear and Toy Story are Adam's "thing" right now.

Star Wars is huge for Nick right now.
