Christmas 2010

Do they look like brothers or what?

She got packing tape. I"m sure there is a story behind that somewhere.

She got her purple hippo pillow pet! She has been wanting that thing for almost forever!

Good but sad book.

To wear while he rides his horses.

He got these things called magforms. They are from QVC and they are pretty awesome. K wants the purple set.

Crazy girl.

Christmas 2010 was spent in many different places this year. We "did Christmas" in New York when we were together with Daddy's family. The 4 of us "did Christmas" a few days before we left for Pensacola where we "did Chritmas" actually on Christmas day with my family. This year's Chritmas was a little lean due to circumstances but we all still made out pretty good.

I've just now realized that I never put pix up of NY Christmas so we will start with those. Then tomorrow's post will be FL pix. I'm so behind (and so confused!) And sorry if the pictures are first and the blogging is second. I'm sick and don't feel like re-arranging everything. You'll be OK :)

And it came to pass in those days...........

I have no idea how to rotate video! So sorry! You might have to turn your head.

Anyways. I haven't had much time to blog and I am so far behind! I thought I'd give you one quick blog. This is from Christmas day which will get it's own post later. But I thought this deserved one all its own. And it won't take me long--so then I can say "I blogged!"

Grandma and Papa asked C to read the Christmas story this year. I was a little worried that he would stumble on some of the hard words. (I meant to have him practice but in all the business-kept forgetting.) (He did practice one time with Unca right before) I was so proud of how good he did! That's my boy!

So enjoy the best reading of the Christmas story ever (until next year anyways).

Happy Birthday!

To my favorite brother! He's getting old!

New Year's Eve

Got a little wild this year. If this is what C ended up looking like, well I can't speak for the rest of us.

Just kidding!

We did have a great time at J&T's. We sat and ate--just the 4 adults. Like old times. The kids were--somewhere. Then we played band hero or guitar hero or whatever it was called. We all pretended we were in a band. We had a bass guitar, a guitar, drums (me) and a singer. It was a blast. We were there until 1:30! I say this often. I love the age/stage my kids are at. They were not at all grumpy (until right at the end. and then K got a little teary/grumpy). They all played well. So much harder to do when they are younger. And then--don't faint--my kids slept til 9:30 for K and almost 10 for C! A big deal in this household. Daddy and I were awake earlier than that (we are getting old. enjoy staying in bed till 5 brother. you'll get old one day) What a great start to a New Year.

Isn't he so cute?

And no, this isn't about my husband.

Or my son.

Or my brother.

I love sock monkeys! (My hubby does NOT). And even better, these are S&P shakers!
