Merry Christmas and Happy 2010

We had a wonderful holiday season this year! Jam-packed full of traveling and visiting family, but so much fun. We are so lucky to have so many wonderful people to visit :)

Christmas was celebrated at Aunt Jamie and Uncle Josh's house this year. We enjoyed lots of puzzle and game time, Christmas music and FOOD. Unfortunately, I gave in WAY too much to the food part, but it sure was fun. Brenna recieved lots of great stuff from Santa including the two things she specifically asked for: a pretend blow dryer and a Cinderella Barbie (a miniature one). She also got a makeup case with new makeup (read lipgloss and nail polish), jewelry, games, books, Barbies, clothes, new jammies, a princess book w/music player, and a kiddo mp3 player. She must've been a really good girl! Although Rylan was sick and kinda grumpy for a lot of the trip, she had a blast spending time and playing with him. They cracked us up whenever they cracked up - nothing more contagious than laughter. Especially when it's the laughter of children! It was really nice to have a wonderful, relaxing LONG weekend to celebrate Christmas. Too bad about those peanut butter M&Ms though....they just weren't meant to see more than one day after the bag opened. Or really more than a few hours. Anyway.....

We also had a great New Years weekend visiting cold Show Low. The snow that was already on the ground made it nice and pretty and the roads nice and safe. We celebrated with a quiet ny eve and watched a bunch of great movies with more great food. Uh oh, do we see a pattern here? Good thing I can chase that wagon down and climb back on after the holidays! We got to visit with more friends and had a great weekend. And although I took my camera with me and even loaded new batteries into it, I took no pictures. Zero. Zilch. None. Ugh. Regardless, we had a great time and loved spending lots of quality time with the family!
