Merry Christmas 2010!

As the New Year approaches I have been looking back at my blog and enjoyed reading all the posts and seeing how much my kids have grown this year!  Christmas was smooth sailing this year even with two little ones.  Our schedule of house bouncing worked out a lot better this year.  Ava and Alex love their new toys, I love them too, I just don't know where to fit them all in our house. We desperately need our basement to magically be finished! 
Ava enjoyed constantly singing jingle bells, and Alex enjoyed saying "ho, ho, ho" every time he saw anything related to Christmas!
There were many moments this Christmas I felt the true Christmas spirit.  My little family makes me very happy. I feel so blessed to have my two sweet kids in my life.  I love knowing they are a little part of me and I created these two cuties. 
I hope every one's Christmas was filled with peace and joy!

Ava was the first to see what Santa brought

Surprise, Ava got a horse!

They both like the my little pony nursery.

Crazy hair Alex

Happy Birthday Bert, and Christmas Eve

It's very late, Bert and I just finished setting up all the toys.  We have had a great Christmas Eve, it  has been very peaceful.  I'm going to do a quick picture post again, and for my Christmas post I'll have a little more time to sit and think about what it is I want to say about what Christmas means to me.  For now, enjoy the pictures.

Bert's Birthday!!

Christmas Eve Begins!!!

Merry Christmas Ava and Alex, Santa did a great job!!!

I am so behind on blogging and sooooo much has happened.  The series of pictures are of Philip's graduation, Leo's birthday party at pump it up, Ava's riding lesson, and my 28th birthday celebration.  I hope you enjoy :) !
