Happy New year!

Blog loser here, just checkin' in. I am glad all my friends and family love me despite my lack of blogging ;) Here's a photo account of the last month or so:



Christmas was amazing. We had it here and it was one of the best weeks of my life! Just lots of good times and great memories. Having us all under one roof was CRAZY, but I wouldn't have had it any other way :)

In case you haven't noticed the primary reason for having a blog in the first place has been to show off my cute kids. Consider yourself warned. I'm about to do a little of that!







(((notice the HAIR!!)




I have really enjoying learning to create pretty bows, flowers and headbands for Annabelle and have kept myself rather busy making them for all my friends' daughter's and my cute nieces. If you're interested, let me know! I have way too many supplies for just one little girl :)

Having Dustin, Lyna and the girls here was the cherry on top.



It was Dustin's first time ever out to visit us. He kept the kids pretty well entertained.....





and exhausted!



It just felt like Nate was coming home for the Holidays after being away at school.... we REALLY really miss having him here full-time.




Christmas Eve was one I'll always remember. The kids doing the manger scene... well....they were just too cute. It was hilarious and super sweet at the same time.






One of the biggest highlights was, of course, my brother's proposal to his awesome girlfriend Amy. Talk about memorable! And holy short engagement!! They're getting married Valentine's day!





As much as we threatened the kids that they had not been good enough to receive a visit from Santa Claus this year, he came anyway! Here's some cute pictures of them enjoying their presents.












Yes, Santa found a skeleton for Charlie :0)
