Nearly two months...I know...and I didn't even post around Thanksgiving. What the eff is wrong with me? You'd think I have a couple of kids and a full time job, and a house full of kitties and puppies...and not even enough time to pee when I get home at night...or something like that.
Anyway...Happy Holidays to anyone who reads this...may your days be merry and bright...and so on. And I truly mean that because I just plain love the holidays. I think that my favorite time of year just might be that handful of weeks that run from Thanksgiving to Christmas. It's pure magic. I might even be just as excited as Sammy this year...and that's saying a lot!
So here are some snaps from our Christmas (plus a few random shots that I love from our year)...just a handful but I think they say it all...family is what it's all about...we are rich in love and very very lucky to have each other.
Sammy in his power suit (all his idea) on the way to a Christmas party...he was the best dressed there and pretty darn proud of that fact.
Christmas morning with the big kid...he looks so grown up to me in this shot. Pokemon cards and Ugly Dolls have been replaced with itunes cards, shaving cream and a razor in this kid's stocking.
Oh my heart.
A happy Christmas morning smile from the bean...I just love that silly bed head boy.
Merry Christmas Kiko...
and Merry Christmas Casey.
Patiently waiting for Evan and I to grab coffee before opening stockings.
A boy and his dog.
We couldn't get over how very careful and deliberate Sammy was with his gifts this year...our little guy is growing up.
Sam's very own kid friendly, ipad-ish type thing...I think he likes it!
Observing his little brother's excitement.
Our little Harry Potter fan...dressed as Harry.
Look out Halloween 2012.
"You're frozen Miles!" That was the most popular Christmas morning spell.
A little bubble bread before breakfast...our first shot at it and it was delicious.
Sam's present from M...one word...perfect.
Merry Christmas my littlest love...I can hardly wait to see what new adventures you find this coming year. You make me smile and laugh, daily and I love that so much.
Merry Christmas my teenager...you seem to grow more every day and I am so proud of who you are...and to be your mom.
Merry Christmas love of my life...you are my partner in every sense of the word and I am so happy that we're together on this journey. I feel lucky every day to have you three guys in my life.
A belated Merry Christmas and happy wishes for a wonderful New Year.
2012 is going to be a good one...I just know it.
