Christmas Snowman

well with the awesome snow fall we got our last day at nee nee's it was imperative we build a snowman even with our head colds not quite gone yet. Jeremy and Auntie Nattie were on building detail this time around. how cute are these kids? and what a gorgeous background of snowfall.

this one didn't want to go outside.

 Ah! I can't see!

 Daddy to the rescue

 better thanks!

 snowball thrower apologizing

Christmas 2010 - picturefest!

okay so lots of snap shotshots and no great pictures but it tells the story right? right!
we technically had four christmases this year
#1. Grandma Trudy's (christmas eve-eve)
- um forgot my camera. LAME. highlights were zhu zhu pets and getting used books from the library. sweet deal people, you need to check into it!
#2. Christmas Eve at home
- much hot chocolate and watching of family videos (so our family isn't very old, we're talking blake's birth and the following three years, lol)

trin got these balloons at g- trudys and played with them all christmas eve

 stockings!

 yee-haw! it's a jesse doll! (and it's obnoxioulsy loud)

 the great stuffed luigi! the only thing blake asked for/ basically expected

 happy boy = happy daddy

 my christmas cutie

 What is this?

 I always wanted clothes from macy's. . . .not

tricked you! it's Zoo Tychoon 2

#3. Christmas at Grandpa Ray/Grandma Sue's (actual Christmas Day)
- much eating by the grown-ups and playing by the cousins. serious good time, pretty laid back this year.

#4. Christmas at Nee Nee and Granda's (sunday night) - part 1

 caught posing

 loving the jammies from g-trudy

 nee nee's fabulous country christmas tree

 tangled shirt! nee nee took us to the movie. AWESOME

 footsies!

 I call this his "mother teresa" expression

 what's this? a waterglobe challenge?

 Ha! no Match for me!

 most awesome vest ever. Mom wants one in her size!

SCOOTERS!  the highlight of christmas I think. Nee Nee sacrificed her good kitchen floor in the name of "practice" with these things. now that's christmas spirit.

- Part 2
highlights would be SNOW! and my family, not that I am partial but your family is your family right? everybody gets that. who else do I have nearly thirty years of christmas memories with? = )

trinity and blake angels we have heard on high

I dig the girl grooving on his right, and also the cranky boy at the opposite end. =) trinity you can see is singing, she was sick poor thing. Oh and I so do NOT take credit for the "yeah clap for me" ending. He was only following the director on the floor. ; )

trinity and blake away in a manger

if you double click it you will go to you tube and the sides won't be cut off as it plays

Molbacks!

i love this store. I love it most at christmas. I love that I have a husband who will go with me and not look embarressed as I take picures of EVERYTHING. =0 love that man. So apparently it's a fad to put your tree on the ceiling. . .well it does clear up floor space but I'm not sure I'm sold. Still, it was an amazing blue color scheme so eat your heart out nat. Mom check out all the twigs everywhere. The kids were being hilarious sitting next to each other. Blake and trin each got to pick one little flower pot and they carried them all around the store. it was very cute. Then we went on a World Market christmas shopping spree. sigh of happiness. I've decided doing things as a family is a gift in itself and all I really want from Jeremy this year is the same willingness he had today to step away from the computer and "spend a little time with me".

 nat this centerpiece is tailor made for you

 how much do you love this light?

 mom, these colors were gorgeous

 nat do I spy some favorite things?

 sparklies

(blake) "dude I can't believe mom is making us do this again" - (trin) " I know now just smile already!"
