Our Christmas Day!

So, about 7:00 pm Christmas Eve, Ruger came running into the living room completely paranoid that Santa was going to burn up when he came down our chimney. At first his concern was just with the presents and then the longer he thought about it, the more frightened he became. So we sat him down and explained that daddy would make sure the fireplace was a comfortable temperature for Santa. And that we did. We made our cookies, Santa ate a few and the dog ate the rest.

About 5:30 am we all woke up to make sure our presents were safe...this was the first picture Jason captured...Isn't it lovely?Sawyer was a little more awake...

To my dismay, there was not a single lump of coal. Instead there was a leapster 2, a tool bench, transformers, the list goes on...these little guys must have behaved pretty well this year! Though they certainly are a little goofy!

I think this was the most exciting year for us so far with our children. They both understood really well what was going on and who Santa was. Their happiness and expressions were priceless throughout the whole day.

I stepped outside for only a brief moment, you can see why I came back in.

And then this photo was snapped last weekend at Jason's little brother's Homecoming from South Korea. I know, another family photo!

I hope your Christmas was fantastic as well!

Hey There Blue Eyes!

This little guy...

is sick and tired of the camera. Can you tell?

She's Back!

This is a terrible picture because we took it with my phone, but who cares! Roni's back! It's been four long lonely months without my sidekick. We're talking solo trips to the grocery store, Grey's Anatomy by myself, boring sewing nights, too much soda, and 3,400 texts a month. Pathetic, I know. But for the next few weeks there will be lots of shopping, play dates with the kids, Christmas, and still too much soda! We went to Roni's little sister-in-law's reception tonight (as shown above) and guess who I met? Bonnie! Can you believe that? I know I'm so lame, but I was so nervous. It was good to get it out of my system before market though...now I can be calm and collected (yeah right)!
