Christmas Day

Christmas was so much fun this year! There's nothing like watching a child open gifts on Christmas morning. Nicky learned about Santa this year and asked Santa for a blue car and a green car, which of course he got. He left chocolate chip cookies and a cupcake for Santa and was so excited to get his cars just as he had asked for. While all the gifts were exciting, we had such a wonderful time as a family and have so many beautiful memories. Here are a few pics of our day...

Merry Christmas!

Well, it has been a busy Christmas season and I think we are finally ready for Christmas. Although I didn't get around to Christmas cards this year (mainly because I didn't get around to insisting on a family picture and the last one I have is from Easter), we finally did get around to taking that picture. Merry Christmas!!!

Playing Catch-up...Again

Okay, so I don't update as often as I should. Perhaps I should just get used to waiting a few months and then doing really long entries :). Anyway, here's what we've been up to...

Nicky was a monkey for Halloween and he had a blast at our church's fall festival. He loved the games and the bounce houses and all the excitement of seeing all the other kids dressed up.

Back in November, Mimi & Gramps took Nicky to SeaWorld for Cookie Monster's Birthday. Unfortunately, it was sprinkling so Cookie Monster couldn't come to his own b-day party (what is up with that?) but Oscar the Grouch did come. Nicky loved meeting him and still tells me how he got to give Oscar a high-five and that Cookie Monster didn't come. Perhaps next time...

Just last week we got back from our trip to Oklahoma. Nicky got 2 weeks with Nannie & Grandpa and was spoiled rotten :). He had a great time and asks me all the time when we get to go back.

Last but not least, we found out right before our trip that Baby #2 will be a GIRL!!! We are very excited and I'm antsy to get her room in order. There's a lot to be done before that happens and my mom will be here in January to help me do it. Well, that about covers it for now...
