Cookie Party!

My pal Crystal held a holiday cookie decorating party at her house last week for the kiddos. We had so much fun! We even laid out all of the babies for a baby snowflake picture. (Paloma, Madison, Charlie and Alexzander) Thanks for the good time Crystal!

Christmas Card Photo Shoot

My dear friend offered to take some pictures of the kids for our Christmas cards this year. Here are some of the (unedited) ones we had to choose from as well as some of Paloma and Madi together. Enjoy!

ALL GONE!

The "house" across the street has been vacant since we moved here over 2 years sgo. The day we had been waiting for finally came...on Saturday December 20th we woke up to the most wonderful noise ever...





...the crash of it getting knocked over for good! Yippie!

Another VIsit With Santa!

We attended the annual Christmas Celebration at our friends house this last weekend. It is always so much fun. There were well over 50 people there which made for a great time. After a huge dinner with all of the fixings...there was a loud noise coming from the roof! All of the kids got sooo excited!



It had to be Santa! Sure enough, there was a knock at the door and in came Santa himself with a huge bag of presents for all of the kiddos! (provided by parents of course)



Nicolas was beside himself with excitement!



Santa redeemed himself and Nicolas made out with the Pirate Ship he has been longing for.



Yeah Santa!

My Birthday

For my birthday my parents came to visit and took us all out to dinner at the Madonna Inn. Nicolas loved looking at all the beautifully decorated cakes and all of the other amazing decorations. Thanks mom & dad for a wonderful birthday celebration!

Even the giant olives he got with his dinner were a big hit!

Picture Update

I realized I have a bunch of pictures on my phone that I haven't shared with all of you yet. So here they are!
