A Blessed 2011

What a Good, Good Night! We rang in the New Year with a blast! What would New Years be without a sleepover? All the kids except Claire made it until midnight. We had a great night full of laughs. Looking forward to all the blessings in 2012!

Our New Years Tree - my mom used to make one every year for her parties and I always thought it was so fun! The kids loved picking their New Years gear off of it throughout the night.

The Next Morning!

I forgot I had confetti poppers, so we didnt let them go to waste!

The kids LOVED them!

CHRISTMAS EVE

It's Christmas Kick Off! Andrew was absolutely hysterical all day,

it was a day of one-liners from him! I've got to make sure I get the day in my journal.

They had a great day at Grandma & Grandpa Glass'! Claire did not cooperate well throughout all of the Christmas festivities and looking back through my pictures it looks as though Daddy didn't participate much either. Even though their may not be a ton of pictures as proof,

we had an amazing Christmas!

These 2 pics sum up her attitude for the day. Little sassy pants.
We had finished opening up gifts, and started getting ready for church when Andrew asked as serious as he could" Can I wear my helmet for God to church?"

Andrew says to me, "Take a picture of me with Uncle Christopher. (as he starts rubbing his face, and squeezing his neck) I love this guy. I really love this guy. This guy right here. I love him!" Aaaw!

All the prep is over! Ready for Christmas morning!

CHRISTMAS DAY

Big fat FAIL on pictures of Christmas Day / Night! Hopefully Aunt Chrystal got some that she can share with us. I did manage to capture this adorable one though:

We're all a little obsessed with the Keurig

Pooped out after a fuuuuuuun day!

CHRISTMAS MORNING

Best.Christmas.Ever!

Even though our kids were a little worn out from all heir "illnesses" the past month,

they were ready for Christmas, or should I say Santa. And so were we!

We were trying to race Andrew down the stairs so we could get his reaction on camera, he was so confused when I asked him to wait a second at the top of the stairs.

We had to wake Claire up so it took her awhile to perk up.

We had such a great morning opening up gifts, playing with toys, drinking coffee, tea, & mimosas. It truly was a blessed Christmas watching our kids experience the magic of Santa!

Christmas ~ Round 3

We had so much fun at Grandma V's! It was a great day with family and the perfect way to end the Christmas giving season. We were so lucky to see my nephew and nieces 2 days in a row for the holiday and enjoyed spending the day together with the entire family.

Hope everyone had a blesssed and Merry Christmas!
