Christmas Day!

Ooh....did Santa come?

He did! And he brought the Barbie house!!!

The haul from the stocking.

Showing Sassy her new toys.

More presents.

Callie loving her new "bone."

Yay! A mini pillow pet!

Jeepers! MORE presents?!?

A cat amidst the chaos...

The day after Christmas we headed up to L&R's house and J&J met us there and we exchanged gifts with them and hung out and laughed and watched a movie and enjoyed our time together. What we didn't do was take any pictures :( 

Amazing Christmas season with all the people I love!

Happy Birthday!

Christmas - Day 2

Christmas Eve at Auntie D's

Lots of yummy yummy food.

Lots of silly cuteness.

LOTS of presents!

LOTS and LOTS and LOTS of fun!!!

Christmas - Day 1

So, that's it. We made it through the Christmas craziness intact and without any major incidents :)

Once again - there were 4 days of celebrations, though I only have pictures from 3 :(

Here's Day 1 - Christmas at Grammie and Bumpy's!!!!

Grammy and Bumpy were VERY generous this year (as usual) and Iz received clothes and squinkies and barbies and movies...the list goes on and on. Hubby and I got a new phone for our house (YAY!) and some green (always good!).

After opening presents with them we all headed over to a Christmas party at Hubby's aunt's house which was a ton of laughs and ever more yummy food!!!!

BEST. CHRISTMAS. EVER.

I know this video is dark - we were filming by just the light of the Christmas tree but I had to share it. Iz's reaction to her present is priceless. Listen carefully and you'll hear her voice crack - my sweet girl almost cried :)

It was definitely a very Merry Christmas around here - more pics coming soon!

Santa Came!

MERRY CHRISTMAS!

Santa came to our house and he brought a ton of stuff!

Most important is the big pink thing on the left...

The B@RBIE  DRE@M  H0USE!!!

Iz's reaction when she saw the house....Pricless!!!

Hope your Christmas is wonderful!

Christmas Eve

We got home from Auntie D's tonight with just enough time to get things set for the big guy to stop by :)

Cookies & milk and carrots for the reindeer.

(Thanks WW for the new cup/plate/letter set!!!)

Iz's letter to Santa - sort, sweet and to the point!

Merry Christmas!

What Happened?

Where have I been? Where are all the pre-Christmas pictures? What have I been doing? Am I done shopping? Am I done wrapping? Am I ready for the big guy in the red suit to come in a couple days?

Well, let me tell you...my laptop died :(

My whole LIFE is on my laptop - all my pictures, my documents, patterns, music, links...everything. I took it to the shop and it's DEAD. The good news is that there's nothing wrong with the hard drive so we were able to save everything (whew!). The bad news is that I'm back to using my old laptop which runs with Vista (blech!) and it doesn't ave a lot of space so I don't have pictures or anything on it to share at this point.

We will be looking for a new laptop after the holidays but for now I'm using an old, slow one. Better than nothing, right? The downside is that pictures and stuff take FOREVER so there won't be a lot of those for a while :/ I have a ton to share - they just have to wait.

Gotta go - cookies to make, a big gift to assemble and last minutes errands to run!

Happy Christmas Eve Eve Eve :)
