Merry Christmas

My favorite time.
All is quiet.
All is calm.
Santa has come.
Children are sleeping.
Tickles in my belly.
Can't sleep.

Then they wake up!

Skates for Bryce.

Stunt Psycho too.

Baby Alive for Hailey.

Big Girl Doll House too.

Christmas Eve Photo Shoot






















Christmas Eve

Brian decided to take Bryce golfing this Christmas Eve. He thought he was the coolest boy on the planet! Now if they do it again next year, we can go ahead and call it a tradition.
The swing...

The glance...


"Snow" in Florida?












My sister, the kiddos, and I took a trip to visit some man-made "snow" one night...the kids thought it was the best day of their lives. However, the "snow" was about 1/2 inch deep and covered only about 10 square feet. Funny...but enough to make a bitty snowman out of.

I'm sad...

Because for the first time EVER, I am not sending out Christmas cards! As I looked over my To-Do-List this year, I realized that something just had to go...this was my choice. It's actually a tad more liberating than I originally thought it would be (as my friend Shirley put it). Anyhow, here were our pictures that were going to be on the Christmas card that never happened for 2009!

Green Meadows

I took the day off today to go on Hailey's first field trip! I have to say, she and I had a complete blast. She was so excited and was running from place to place yelling, "wait for me" to the tour guide. I enjoyed every minute...well almost...I could've done without the "smell". Us prego's are very sensitive to those sorts of scents you know.










I think this is one of my favorite pics I've ever taken of her! Such a big girl!

Spooktacular Trick or Treating Event

I have to say...this was certainly one of those nights where I was able to stand back, watch the fun, and think..."I don't want this to end"! Thank you to everyone who came! We all truly had a blast. Our garage, transformed into a Spooktacular Place.
