its christmas time and time for a carol

for the first time in 26 years i had a christmas morning without my mom. it was difficult and i felt like i was cheating but it turned out wonderful. i am glad i have my own little family now and the christmas was wonderful.

we had to wake the kiddies up around 9 because we had to be to the greg's by 10:30 to talk to brennan. they were both pretty tired from the previous nights but managed just fine. jude as it turns out loves christmas, what a stretch!

how amazing that they match, right? as mentioned before, i love jammie heads.

sitting is not greta's strongest suit when she wakes up. she is however, totally edible.

all jude wanted for christmas was the "screamin' banshee" from cars and was quite thrilled that santa brought him one. sort of a dumb toy but what do you do when advertising gets to your kids? i think he was glad "santa" brought him more than just that.

prets got many toys suggested by her therapists and this was one of them. the singing stacking star is a great toy for developent because you don't have to put this type of stacking toy in order, just stack and play. greta is a total fan.

other christmas presents included a new fly tying box for trevan as well as a new grill and cookbook. i finally got a sewing machine and am now ready for project runway.

off to yaya's for more presents. jude got many star wars "chubbie guys" which he hasn't put down. grets got an amazing outfit and some hilarious toys that terri found, including a pig with sucking magnetic babies. amazing.

greta and momo were matching and it had to be documented. just so you know... greta's mouth is always open and she gets it from her aunt morgan. these two remind me of each other. i hope greta can be as sweet as morgan when she grows up.

after breakfast we went down south to my parents for more presents and a delicious christmas dinner. for some reason, i didn't take any pictures and we are all offended. needless to say my mom spoiled us again. trevan got a soft shell coat he has been admiring for years, i got an amazing lens for my camera as well as a forever 21 gift card and other goodies, jude got a scooter, and prets got her favorite present of all, the fisher price sing stage that she really truly loves. it was a great day!

this is my husband and i love him.
my new lens is finally doing him justice. :)

MERRY CHRISTMAS!

Yay for the sewing machine! I can't wait to see what you whip up first. We should have a sewing party or something.

LOVE the matching jammies. And just so you know, it was weird for me to not have you with me, too. But your Christmas morning looks beautiful. I guess it's inevitable at one point!
