Christmas 2009

We had a wonderful and very Blessed Christmas... I just decided to share our pictures of the kids Christmas morning. Santa was very good to them!Ha!

Avery loving her new coat!!

Here is the next Michael Jordan!!; )

The new fashion designer for America's next top model!

Now this was Seth's most favorite gift of all his wagon...he sat in it all morning!!

Well he did do a little grocery shopping too: )

I hope that you all had a wonderful Christmas and took the time to remember the true reason why we celebrate Christmas because of our saviour JESUS CHRIST! Happy New Year!

Christmas Card Carousel

I decided to join in this year on the Christmas Card Carousel... After lots and lots of picture and a little sweet one year old that was not crazy about getting his picture made for our family Christmas card. I decided to not make a big fuss over it and just use their picture on the beach from our vacation this year. You always look better in pictures with a little tan anyway!!

Merry Christmas!

Tis the Season for baking cookies!!

Avery did a little baking this weekend... for the most part all by herself!! She wanted to make some Gingerbread cookies and decorate them and she really did a great job!! They were so delicious especially with my coffee the next morning!

These are not my Christmas cards pictures but on Sunday while the kids were in their Christmas red. I wanted to take a few pictures... Well as you can see little sweet Seth Ryan wanted nothing to do with getting his picture made : )

By the time I snapped this last picture he was laying in the floor crying!! So we will hopefully get some pictures later.

Christmas cards????

This was last years Christmas card... I can't believe how much these two have grown up in the past year!! So now I'm in the process of getting this years card ready. I'm thinking a black and white photo outside. I try to do something a little different each year. Christmas cards are one of my many favorite things during the Christmas holidays. Everyday during the month of December I can hardly wait for the mail to arrive each day!! I really want to get my cards out by early next week so I better get busy...So what are some ideas you all have done in the past?? I'm always looking for new ideas!! Hope each of you are taking the time thru this Christmas season to truly celebrate the true meaning of Christmas~*~*~*~*~*~*

Can I have a Christmas wish list???

Lot's of these Peppermint Mocha's from Starbuck's... Oh my goodness they are so yummy!

This adorable red pea coat... How cute is this? I mean really!!

These for dining room... and I really do think I have my husband possibly talked into these MAYBE!

I really do want this leather living room furniture but the truth is I really want be getting this for Christmas!!

How sweet is the new Coach bag... Oh Santa PLEASE!!!

What do you want for Christmas??? Well the truth is all these things are great...But the true meaning of Christmas is all about Jesus!! My sweet hubby always makes sure I do get a few things on my wish list but.... Our heart is making sure others have a good Christmas and celebrating the true meaning of Christmas" Jesus". He is the reason for the season so before any of us get caught up in what we or our children want for Christmas lets try to think of blessing others first and what we can do this holiday season to make a difference this Christmas for someone else..

Terrible blogger...

I know I have been terrible about blogging lately.... I love to blog but my most favorite is reading all of your fantastic blogs!! I think every now again we all go into a blogging slump and yes that's where I have been. The holiday season is right around the korner and I am sooo excited this is my most favorite time of year. I love, love, love to decorate for the holidays I am a little worried about my tree this year because of a very curious 14 month old running around. If any of my fantastic blog friends have any advice on keeping my tree in good condition ; ) I would appreciate the advice!! I promise to get better at blogging... wait have I said this before?? Well I will TRY with the holidays here I should have lots to blog about and lots of pictures to share. Well gotta go get ready I have some Christmas shopping to do!

Happy Halloween... a little late as usual!!

We started out our day at fall festival at a church near our house. Here is Avery in a Jello eating contest she honestly is about to throw up.

We could not believe Seth actually sat still long enough to have his little face painted like Tigger!

Avery becoming a Beautiful Butterfly!

Look out here comes Tigger.... First stop Trick or Treating at my parents house.

Avery dressed up as a Spa Lady... complete with a face mask, robe, fake nails and all!!!

Tigger and spa lady on the golf cart ready to go trick or treating.... Well actually just spa lady because Tigger refused to get off the golf cart he had no interest in trick or treating... Maybe he will get the hang of it next year!
