Last Day

Soooo, it's the last day of school and I did not meet my goal. I was totally going to have the blog up to date as of today. I could do it. I could post all the events of the last 5 months right now and meet the goal and be done---But I do not want to. I want to lay down and sleep. Relax, let my mind and my emotions disappear into the night. Sleep. Sleep. Sleep. NOPE not now---the kids and husband are playing dodgeball in the other room, surely someone will be crying in the next 5 minutes. Maybe by the end of the summer the blog will be up to date. Or maybe not. HuMMM.....

Christmas 2009

Christmas Eve 2009

My cute mom and Caeden--Caeden could not get enough of Grandma--To bad Grandma was sharing her lap. My Mom said "I know that it is bad to say this as a Grandma, but I think she (Caeden) is my favorite." Do not tell the other kids. She is just so cute, and curious, and silly. She gives great snugglie hugs, and she has a smile to die for. I don't blame my Mom right now for playing favorites.

Christmas Eve

We had dinner and a lovely time with family as always on Christmas Eve.

The MAGIC of Christmas morning.

Not much compares in the mind of a child.

--Santa's special deliveries--

All smiles and fun after unwrapping the gifts.
I love how Christmas was just relaxed--not rushed or busy.

We visited everyone and enjoyed it all.

Queen of the presents.

This box would have been at the top of her list, if she could make a list. Just the right size and shape to climb on. Bright and colorful--then she could rip the paper off later.
