SANTA BRUNG IT TO ME!!!

Hope everyone had an AMAZING CHRISTMAS! We were home for the holidays but got to see Papa Bear and Gramma Jo via Yahoo Messenger on Christmas Day. We opened gifts and could actually see each other it was so cool! Audrey got some adorable outfits and Josh and I got gorgeous wallets and a shopping spree to boot! Being in person would have been better but it looks like we will get to hug everyone in January in Tennesse as we celebrate Jacob's one year birthday! GOD ID GOOD!

We had "Brandon's" famous ribs for dinner on Christmas Eve and opened presents with the Lopez Clan. Audrey made out like a FAT RAT with dolls galore and even a vtech laptop. Josh surprised me with a real COACH handbag and wallet! I think I heard the angels sing! I know I'm so vain...you can say it. Josh got clothes, Playstations games and an automatic Skeleton watch (the kind that shows all the insides).

Traditional Christmas Ham and all the trimmings came on Christmas Day. Food was great! Relaxing was better!!! Saturday we headed to Uncle Charles' house to viosit with family from out of town. We had a BIG day. All the pics will come later. We've been having internet interuptions due to weather. Here's wishing you and yours a fabulous holiday. Thanks for checking in with us! Till next time...be blessed!

Reindeer Ridin, Christmas Treats and Smiles

I put on the movie SPIRIT for Audrey (which is about riding horses) so I could go in the office and work a bit. All of sudden I noticed it was really quiet in the living room. I snuck around the corner and this is what I saw...

: )

SO ADORABLE...she loves her reindeer RUDY!

We hosted the dessert portion of the Youth Progressive Dinner Saturday nite. I made banana pudding, peppermint cupcakes, coffee punch and hot apple cider. We had a blast playing charades and family fued with the kids. I was pretty proud of my decorations so I snapped a fews pics for ya!

Had to share a kiss with my little blessing! PRICELESS

SMILES LIKE THESE MAKE LIFE WORTH LIVING!

I love you Audrey!

Till next time...be blessed!

ANGEL

Audrey and Deacon were angels in the Christmas program at church last week. They looked so adorable! Katie and I walked them all around the assembly and Audrey just waived like a beauty queen. It was so cute!

She couldn't keep her huggers off Deacon!

All the kids singing The First Noel! They did a great job!

Till next time...be blessed!

BAD HAIR DAY

We finally got her hair into a ponytail for church Sunday night. She eipped it out before we got home so I don't have pictures of that adorable ponytail. Instead I have the "troll hair" pictures.

AH MAN!

Titus loves me anyway!!!

The first ornament Audrey has EVER put on a Christmas Tree!

WE ARE THANKFUL

We had a fun Thanksgiving with the Lopez clan. We missed the Winkler and Tuley side of the family but did get to visit over the phone. Next Year we need to SKYPE!!!

Audrey discovered a love for ice cream that had everyone in stitches. We found some great after Turkey Day sales and ate till our tummy's content! Sorry bout the blurry pics below. Miss Thing was on a MAJOR SUGAR HIGH and wouldn't be still!

Uncle Brandon let us try out his deer hunting earmuffs! You can hear everything crystal clear with those things. Even a whisper but we don't know how to do that yet.

Hope your holiday was filled with joy. Till next time...be blessed!
