Christmas 2012

 Christmas at Maw Maw Barbara's. We went for lunch this year and had a good time. One of my favorites of the day was the ham!

 Putting out reindeer food

 Making cookies for Santa on Christmas Eve. This was the first year ever we were at home for the evening. We had so much fun making cookies, talking, laughing, making a huge mess, and drinking Grinch punch. Woo hoo.

 Noah's Nike 6.0 cookie for Santa.

 I'm sexy and I know it... (Owen)

 Our poor little Owen woke up at 1:00am with a mild case of the stomach bug. He threw up several times so we didn't have a whole lot of pics but he was a true champ and made it long enough to open presents.

 Noah on the other hand was about to die to open up presents. He was up several times waiting and then was into everything and basically bouncing off the walls.

 Looking at the new ramps.

 Can you tell the difference of healthy vs sick???

 Owen losing the battle. About to pass out.

 Noah still going strong. This kid is psycho over presents. He's not greedy or selfish just loves to open them.

Owen is officially wiped out.

 Me and my boys. The best gift ever. Can't believe they are 6 already.

 Playing the wii. Owen is feeling better now. At least it was a quick bug....

 Christmas afternoon at Maw Maw Cassie's. We had spaghetti this year. Great as always. Had fun and Owen still hanging in there tired and puny.

We had another wonderful Christmas all things considered. Busy and crazy as always. I love all of the Christmas traditions, extra family time, and just the true meaning of Christmas. We have so much to be thankful for. Most of all I am just glad to have such a wonderful husband who makes me so happy and 2 bright, energetic boys that I love with all my heart anod soul.

Santa

 We went to the mall to talk to Santa. He was much better this year than last.

Feeding the horses at Bradley's. Owen loved them.

Our family Christmas card picture. Owen always with a crazy look and smile. We were just lucky to get a family pic made b/c they were sick on and off all December.

Pre- Christmas Festivities

 My 3 boys at Mr. Brown's.

 Had to go to Rocky Knob Mtn Bike park after we got our tree. We were disappointed b/c the pump track was gone and that was the main reason we took the bikes. Oh well.

 Scott and I played on the super cool playground.

 Noah  decorating

 Owen decorating

We had a great time decorating the tree. We let them do everything but the lights. So we had a think covering of ornaments that was in the middle of the tree which was just their height. They did a wonderful job again this year putting on the ornaments. This special day is one of my favorites of the year. (going to get the tree in the mtn, bringing it home and decorating it)

Ninnys Christmas Gathering

We went to see my Ninny in the bnursing home a few days before Christmas. It was fun to see and hang out with our entire family. The boys loved playing with the girls. They played football and got the ball stuck in some vines. We always treasure these times together.
