Merry Christmas Card Pictures....

.....That NEVER Made It To The Final Print!!

OK, I know I never sent out Christmas Cards this year or Happy New Year Cards!

Sorry!! I did try 1 day to snap some pictures of our 2 crazy girls that DO NOT like to cooperate with the camera. Me being about 9 months pregnant could barley get the 2 of them together or get up off the floor by myself after getting just a few snap shots!!!

So needless to say, no pictures, no cards, & I'm really kinda OK with it all!! :)

Mayson & her Santa hat!! LOVED IT!!! She sported this crazy little hat all Christmas Season!

Booyah would not stand up or even pretend to care that I really wanted a picture!

Mayson did at least try & moved around for some different poses, but still looks a little disconnected with the shoot! :) Gotta love our girls!!

Let It Snow...Well....

...Let It "Fake" Snow!!!

We went down to Bellevue Town Center to watch it snow, see the nutcrackers dancing & see all the Christmas festivities!

Mayson was so excited to see the Polar Bear! She loved all the music & all the "craziness" that was happening around us! She just wanted to dance! Weird I know!!

Reunited & it feels so good!!! :) It had been awhile since MayMay & LayLay had seen each other! But don't you worry....no LOVE was lost! Mayson could not stop saying "Hi LayLay, Hi LayLay"!! Who can blame her though....look at those eyes!! :)

Happy Birthday....

.....Happy 63rd Birthday Grandpa!!

We had Grandpa over for his Birthday this year! We of course let him pick his Birthday dinner & naturally he picked.....

Potato Balls!!

I'm so mad I did not get a picture of our "healthy" meal! It was really good & of course even better the next day!

Dessert was Cheesecake! YUMMY!!

Grandpa about to make his Birthday wish!

Once again, the only picture I have to prove we actually had a Birthday party! :( Not even a picture of Grandpa & the real Pie! Sorry!

Flat Out......

....BUSTED!!!!

Momma left Dada & MayMay alone & look at the T-R-O-U-B-L-E they got into!

Dada was drinking pop (busted) & May grabbed the can down from the counter & dumped it ALL over her! (busted)!!!!

Light Up a Life Ceremony For Grandma

We went to celebrate the Tree Lighting Ceremony at Evergreen Hospital again this year for Grandma.

It was a very nice ceremony and prayer. It's always nice to see the great staff from Hospice and let them know how much we really appreciate the work they do. We wrote on paper ornaments for Grandma and hung them on the tree. It was a beautiful night out with no rain.

Amy joined us to remember Grandma this Christmas.

Grandma's memorial ornament



When the ground finally thawed out we were able to plant Grandma's Christmas tree at my Dad's house. Things were a little different this year with me being so pregnant and Mayson being so busy. We planted her tree during the day and unfortunately I do not have a picture of it at night, but you can still see how pretty it is!

MERRY CHRISTMAS MOMMA!!

After we lit the tree, Mayson got to go stomping in the mud puddles! This was her first time, so we had to show her how to do it and let her know that yes it is OK!! Of course, she LOVED it!!

Total "Nation" girl!!
