I'm Back

But maybe for just a minute.
Adding a temporary full timer to my day

really makes for little free time.
Now that my kindergartner is off for the holiday
I spend most days refereeing and entertaining.
Which is good.
I've gotten spoiled staying at home a lot
since the little mister could care less if we get out.
However, miss Bella is a go getter...
she hits the floor in the morning ready to roll.

So for now...

here are a few pictures of Christmas thus far.

First, We Celebrated our Anniversary.

6 years.
Looking back... it seems like just yesterday,
but it also seems like we've been married

for more years than six.
Love being married to Brett.
He is better than I deserve.
Marriage has been work.
But oh so rewarding.
Cheers my love.

Christmas Eve Party at the in-laws.
That is, after the Christmas Eve service at church.
Santa came by for his annual visit to the
Christmas Eve party.

Rowan's gift from Santa.
He was beside himself.
Then the kids sang Christmas Carols to us. It was cute.

For the last few years Brett, the kids, and I
have spend the night at grandma's (biggie's parents)
on Christmas Eve.
It's a fun tradition.

We then headed to Houston to visit my
Aunt, Uncle, Cousins, my sister, and my nephew.

We had fun playing games,
visiting, eating, paying Rock Band,
watching movies, walking around the lake,
and did I say eating. Yum!
Brett was so pumped that he got 100% on vocal singing Sabotage.
Given my boy a squeezer.

Well, that is all for now. I can hardly keep my eyes open.

Hope you all reading this right now had a
blessed Christmas.
I know Christmas can be a very hard
season for a lot of people,
and if you are one of the those that has a lot of
pain associated with the holidays-
I pray that this year was the year that your pain
subsided a bit and that there was
unexpected joy all around.
Blessing upon blessings!!

Thanks for reading and I look forward to getting
regular again with this thing in the new year.

Since my blog is not private, and I am not sure how
my loved ones feel about their pictures being posted...
I try to stick to posting pictures mainly of our family.
However, if you are interested in seeing more...
e-mail me. I for one love looking at peoples pictures.
So I will not think you are weird,
as I hope you do not think I am
weird for typing this out.
