Catching Up: Christmas 2011 & New Years 2012

Christmas Eve we had a house full of family here with us.  We didn't do a good job of taking pictures though and never got a group shot.  Here are a few cute ones of the kids I managed to capture during the festivities...



Grandpa & Grandma with all of their grandbabies.  We could not get
the kids to all look at the camera and smile.  This was our best try.
Christmas 2011 was Marisa's first Christmas with us, so it was a very special Christmas!  Grandparents, aunts, uncles, and cousin Haley were all here to celebrate the day with us.

Sporting her new towel and dolly.

Kieran got a new train table, which he loves.

Marisa got a play kitchen- she plays with it every day.


New Years Day...we welcomed 2012 with some hot chocolate.  It's the simple things in life that bring so much joy to our little ones.  We were all exhausted from the holidays and getting over colds, so we didn't do anything celebratory but just played board games and put together puzzles that the kids got for Christmas.



This was Mommy's drink...notice the little hand trying
to take it away while I photographed it?  Nice try, Kieran!

Kieran's reaction to being caught attempting to
steal my hot chocolate.  :)  Mike's in the background
doing dishes.  He is my hero for many reasons,
one is because he keeps our kitchen clean.
Happy New Year to you!
