Christmas!!!

We had a great Christmas day! We opened presents here at the house and then headed out to Memom and Poppop's for more fun! We sang Christmas carols and ate ourselves silly. We came home and played Wii til all ours of the morning. It was a wonderful day!

Christmas Eve with Friends!

We have a tradition here at our house......we always have breakfast on Christmas Eve morning with our friends at Friendly's. This year was no exception to the rule! We had a great time eating and opening presents together. The kids are more like cousins than friends and it is so fun for us moms to watch them interact! I hope that their friendships last as long as Heather's and mine has!! We are soooo blessed!

Family Christmas

Today was "Family Christmas" with Marsh's side today!!! Fun was had by all!! The kids got along great and we all ate WAY too much food. I will post pictures later from Christmas day.

Hot date!

What do you all do with alone time with your husband?? Marsh and me?? We decorate gingerbread houses!!!
This week was the annual Ladies Banquet for our church and they needed over 30 gingerbread houses for the centerpieces. I volunteered to make 2 and enlisted the help of my very creative husband to help me with this task. For those of you that have never done one, it is quite a challenge! We had fun though....rummaging through the almost stale Halloween candy in search of more props. I think we ended up finishing them after 11pm!!
I had forgotten to take pictures of them but luckily I attended the banquet on Monday night and was able to find both of ours to snap a picture. I also included the picture of the "winning" house that got the coveted spot on the head table. (wink, wink....it was the hostess' husband.....sounds fishy!! Kidding Melis!)
For those of you that are wondering, mine is the first one, Marsh is the second and the winner is the brick looking house. I didnt get a picture of the back of Marshall's, which was the best part! He did a stained glass window made out of fruit rollups!!
Headed up now to start another day of fun and play with the boys!! Have a great day!

Zach is 3!!

So, my baby turned 3 last week!! (I am struggling with this a little.) We had a family party for him on Friday night and it was a blast!! He has been saying for weeks that all he wanted was balloons and a horsey, balloon birthday cake. Now where was I gonna get that? My friend Jamie came to my rescue and you will see that she did an amazing job!! Zach was thrilled and kept asking me all day if it was time for cake! We barbequed and opened presents and had a great night together. Zach was exhausted by the end (as you can see in the picture of him in the chair!) and we all slept well!

So sad....

This is last week's photo and it is of all of us eating together. This doesnt happen very often and I thought I had better capture the moment on film so that we could remember it over the next few weeks. It will be that long before it happens again.......
