Another Christmas come and gone...

But definitely one of our sweetest ones yet!

It was almost off to a rocky start. Luckily "Santa" had just barely finished wrapping presents and setting them under the tree when at 11:50pm on Christmas Eve little Miss Sammy walks into our room and scares us to death. We were nearly caught red handed, but luckily we were just finishing up on wrapping presents for friends and family.

However, she was so disappointed to have just missed Santa (wink, wink... and our hearts are still pounding at this time because we knew we just dodge a HUGE bullet). Apparently she had be trying so hard to stay awake to hear the reindeer on our roof... how sweet is that!! So after a big glass of water and one midnight trip to the bathroom she was back in slumber land. Only now when she woke in the morning there was no big present reveal... it was more like... yeah, I saw all that last night, no biggie. What a little stinker!

Of course... of all the $$ presents the kids received this year... it's the $1 store slinky's that are the hit!


These were Brooke's favorites...



And this was Brody's favorite... CANDY! CANDY! CANDY!


This probably has nothing to do with him throwing up the minute he woke up this morning... naw, it couldn't!! :-)

Random photos...

Whenever I have a photo shoot planned at my house in my little “studio” I always beg and plead with the kiddos to sit for just a second so that I can get the lights and set up just right before the actual shoot. Well, in doing that, I always end up with the most random of photos... ENJOY! [taken December 2011]

Brody stories...

Here’s another Brody story for ya... A few weeks ago the kids put in a Wii game to play. Shortly after the game began Samantha calmly walked over to me at my desk and in a super low voice said, ‘umm Mom, Brody just said a bad word’. Mind you we have taught our kids that words like stupid, jerk and shut up are all bad words so I wasn’t sure what to believe or expect. I then said ‘are you sure it was a REAL bad word’...to which she enthusiastically said, ‘oh, I’m definitely SURE this is a bad word’. Well, not wanting to spoil the plot I told her not to tell me and that I will just have him tell me. I called Brody over and with an oh-so-cool-matter-of-fact-tone I just asked Brody what he said while playing the Wii game? In his equally oh-so-cool-matter-of-fact-tone he said [referring to the Wii game] ‘oh, I just told Sam let’s get in there and kick their ass’! I know the boy should have had a bar of soap shoved in his mouth, but really??!! How can you not chuckle...or in my ca...
