Christmas 2014

Merry Christmas!!!!!  Something happened to my date/time function on my camera & so all the pictures I took on Christmas were all mixed up - I decided to take advantage of that, put some music to it and BAM! - I present to you our Family Christmas 2014:

Dear Isa, Maybe next year you won't play with the remote control as much ....

6th Birthday Sleepover Extravaganza!!

Part of Olivia's birthday present from us this year was an sleepover at our house and although she wanted nothing to do with the fact that it was her "birthday" I'm pretty sure she enjoyed all the fun and special attention :)

Isa's here with Mason & they brought a Christmas craft.....

24hours of sheer fun =

Happy Birthday Olivia :)

By the glow of the seahorse

One day I will motivate and put all my pictures of my kiddos sleeping into a photobook 

Just trying to catch a 10min rest while we wait for the second half of the day to begin.....weather has been gorgeous.  I will be the last to ever complain about it being warm enough in December to lay on the hammock with my baby while a cool breeze rocks us

The most wonderful time of the year

The time of the year when every single weekend is filled with celebrating the holidays - excuses to go to the mall at 8am, eating and drinking around the clock,  Birthday parties and Christmas parties, baking for hours, giving & receiving....

Double timed my holiday work pace....
Christmas cards are done, baking my trillions of cookies are done & only one more gift to buy.

Pour me another glass of 'nogger :)

NO ONE does happy like Logan does happy

This kids happiness needs to be bottled, passed around the world & then drank every. single. day.

Today was his first day with his new school schedule.  The bus was picking him up at 7am and dropping him off at 11am but the class size has grown - A LOT - so to help, they hired another teacher which in turn meant that Logan would be moved to the PM class.  The bus now picks him up at 11am and drops him off at 3pm.  

He was tired when he got home - but some fresh air and belly swingin put him right back to his happy place :)

Snow Day

Not really a snow day but Logan's bus never came to pick him up?!?! So all the same in the end - No school for Logan :)

Wild & Free

I have no idea what is going on in this picture.....

The girl has an imagination that is wild & free

Reagan & this little guy have become good friends so lucky for her we had him over an extra day this week :)

T.G.i.F!!!

Merry & Bright

I love the Christmas season. 

Think it was the first year in a long time that we haven't decked the halls the day after Thanksgiving...in our defense we were returning from our camping trip.  But you best believe we had it done the day after the day after Thanksgiving.  

It's also our first year buying an artificial tree :/  I guess in Texas evergreens don't grow like weeds as they do in Connecticut - so a fresh tree comes with a fresh price tag.  

She's tall and pleasantly plump & looks good all dressed up (kinda like me....lol)

And then this was my husbands doing....

Christmas shopping is not done, Christmas cards haven't even begun to think about beginning & I have no idea when I will manage to bake the trillion zillion cookies that I have in the past....

only 22 more days.
