Merry Christmas!!!

Okay, I know...way too many pictures. But, I love x-mas and Hubby and I have so much family there are just too many memories to post. So, get ready you might be here for a minute :)


It all began x-mas eve at Aunt R's house

Cousin M and Captain having fun in the playroom

Adorable A (he's getting so big)

Belle and H (the two cutie pies)

Xmas Morning at Home

Captain was good this year...Santa brought him a Basketball Hoop
Cuddlebear was good too...He received a Spiderman Bike

Santa brought Belle a Kitchen Set. The boys also love this gift.
Although, they would never admit it.

This is Noble. Our best tree ever. It smells soooo good!

Mom and Dad got Baby Belle this sweet horse.

Papa made his famous & delicious ham and eggs

B made all sorts of wonderful pancakes...Yummy!

This I Love!!!

Cuddlebear may have been most excited about this classic game.

As you may know I am in love with Africa and I now have a wardrobe to prove it thanks to my wonderful husband and loving mom...Thank You! Thank You!

Baby Bele got a beautiful bracelet from Nana, Aunt E and Papa.

One of the funniest gifts was from one of my cousins to Hubby and here they are the now infamous...
Blue fuzzy socks.

Nana with her new coffee pot.

Some of the chaos

Sweet Cousins made us each our own blanket. They are so soft and snuggly...Thank You!
Well, I was going to say that is all. But, I will have to post our final x-mas with my extended fam at a later date. Like I said lots of family. But, we had a wonderful Christmas and we loved spending it with all of the people who mean so much to us.

A Sneak Peek






I thought I would stay on top of all the vacation pictures by posting at nap time on vacation. However, my packing skills were a bit lacking and I left the card reader at home and have not been able to transfer pictures until now. We had to purchase a new card and mail it to our hotel b/c we were going to run out of space...AHHH! But, everything worked out and her a a few pictures from our trip thus far. Stay tuned for some more cute pics to come.

I Love X-Mas Time!!!


Captain decided to dress up like Santa, Cuddlebear found this to be hilarious

Hubby purchasing a bag of fresh made donuts at Mission Inn...Yummy!

Cuddlebear wanted a picture by the creepy Santa Doll

We joined Grandma D (Captain refuses to call her Nana anymore) & E for a ride down to Mission Inn. There were a lot of lights, some creepy animated figures a lot of antiques and delicious junk food. We had a fun filled night.

This past weekend was full of x-mas in a hurry. We are leaving on vacation in about a week...YIKES!!! So, we hung lights on the house (thank you Aunt E for babysitting while we decorated), we went out to pick up the tree (almost went too big this year), and we took our annual pictures of the kiddos for our x-mas card. Baby Belle was having so much fun until all of the sudden she decided she was done.

Boys Birthday Disneyland Trip!!


The Two Birthday Boys, on a ride mom refuses to ride!

Cuddlebear as Stitch

The boys went to Build a Bear and picked out cute soft animals, while Baby Belle tried to convince us to buy her a dinosaur

All 3 Almost

Dad sneaking a shot of mom
Next to the Big Tree, although this year it is fake :(

The housecleaning surprised the boys and decorated the room on our last night there. They found all of the boys stuffed animals they brought and they put them on the bed with some confetti. The sweetest part was the woman was waiting around the corner to watch the boys walk in the room. It was so sweet!!! The boys are convinced though that Goofy had something to do with the decorating.
