Happy New Year

We rung in the new year with our friends The Reed's. They are our neighbors and they have two kids that our girls play with several times a week!!! One of the many, many benefits of having young kids still...they can't tell time yet! Ha! We celebrated the new year at 8pm and had the kiddos in bed by about 8:30! But, we had a great time enjoying dinner and playing games, and celebrating the new year and spending time with good friends!!! Enjoy!

Christmas 2010

Merry Christmas!!!! We had a great Christmas this year. Both girls are at such a fabulous age to really enjoy themselves, and Jim and I really enjoy watching their joy! We invited a customer that goes to one of Jim's stores everday down for Christmas Eve Mass and dinner. We had a great time celebrating with John and he enjoyed sharing in our family evening as well! Bryden helped him open some gifts and really loved sharing in his joy with him. Bryden is at a magical age at 5 years old now, everything is so amazing to her, and it is so cool to watch her enthusiasm for the Christmas season. And Emmy, at nearly 2, knows who Santa is and what he says ("Ho Ho Ho Hooooooo"...haha! So cute!), and she LOVES him, but she doesn't get yet what he represents, but she did have fun opening all the gifts that Santa brought! Bryden had a blast opening her gifts and helping Emmy open hers. And as you'll see, Jim enjoyed his big gift too..."It's an award, I won an AWARD!!!" Haha! Enjoy!

Our Nighttime Glow

We LOVE Christmastime in our house. Jim is like a big kid with all the decorations and of course the girls love them all as well. I need to get a picture of the whole yard, but Jim keeps adding to it, and we still need to get some lights on the house, but here is a sneak peek! Enjoy!

Decorating the Yard

It's Christmas Time...The Most Wonderful Time of the Year for sure! We do up our yard pretty good each year, and this year both girls we huge helpers on a chilly day! Bryden put together the whole merry-go-round all by herself, and both girls decorated the front door! Enjoy!

Breakfast with Santa

Jim took the girls to have breakfast with Santa at Bass Pro Shops one Saturday morning! He said it was a pretty sweet set up, the Santa was awesome, and each kid got a special toy from Santa! Here are some cute pics of our family getting in the Christmas spirit! Enjoy!
