We Wish You a Merry Christmas!!

This year we had a wild and crazy Christmas. The kids were so much fun -- Reese could not get over all the excitement that comes with unwrapping gifts and finding babies, and Charlie really enjoyed the paper, bows and the chance to "rip" things! We spent Christmas Eve-Eve and Christmas Eve at my mom and dad's house and it was so much fun.....we started off Christmas Eve-Eve with stockings from Kristen. The kids liked kicking off Christmas with a little pre-Christmas present -- thanks Aunt Kristen!!!

uuummmm, suckers!!

On Christmas Eve, my cousins and Aunt Sheila came over and we exchanged gifts....again, lots of fun!!

On Christmas night, we went to Reese and Charlie's Gigi's house to have Christmas with them. Their aunt Carol got them a Cozy Coupe -- another favorite!! It caused quite a few battles -- we're working on learning how to share! =)

"I want a turn....."

that's more like it - beep, beep, coming through!!

Charlie would stay in this thing all day if I would let him!!

On Saturday, we went to Reese and Charlie's PawPaw and Lala's house for Christmas with them (we were a traveling crew!!). Reese and Charlie got more presents and we had another yummy meal!

Merry Christmas!

We hope you all had as wonderful a Christmas as we did!

Our little wrestler

One of Charlie's favorite things to do right now is wrestle. He is so funny -- if you are lying in the floor, he will come up to you and give you a little "head butt" or try and sit on top of you -- anything he can to get you to wrestle him....of course his favorite wrestle buddy....his daddy!

Happy Birthday Mimi!!

Mimi and her "babies!"

David Yurman earrings.....surprise!!

Gingerbread House

We decided to start a new tradition around here.....we got a Gingerbread house kit and let the kids "help" us (which really means eat the entire time we put it together!) -- as they get older, we hope they can join in on the fun a little more! We did have a lot of fun doing this -- very messy, but lots of fun. It turned out pretty cute too!!! I LOVE Christmas time!! =)

Our finished product

This was the hard part -- keeping them from eating the entire house!!

Charlie actually managed to sneak a piece on us!!

G-U-I-L-T-Y!
