Christmas memories...

He made his list and he checked it twice

and I'm happy to say...

He thought we were nice!thanks Bernard for the good report. we miss you hanging out around here already.

there were towers with cousins...

milk and cookies for the jolly ole saint nick...

and lots of toys he generously left from his pack!

a train from padre...

a new camera for me!!! now- all i have to do is learn how to use it!

there must always be the annual stand by the tree and get the Christmas day pics of the fam...

(and no- that's not our new puppy. though- Briley did ask Santa for one this year. that's mimi's furball Otis).

and there were cousins we hadn't seen in years.

can't believe we let life slip by us without getting together in a couple years.

can't wait to plan our next party. we had a blast!

(this is 2 of my 3 girl cousins on my dad's side of the fam, my sister, me and of course our kiddos)

for mimi and padre- i'm glad we snuck in your Christmas pic with the grandkids. only a day late- not bad, not bad.

we are so incredibly blessed this Christmas season and look forward to celebrating the new year and all it brings (Bristol- it can't be long now!)!
