memorable as ours was!

A Priceless Gift

Here she comes...

...This is what Christmas is all about!

Emily has been working hard to surprise us

on Christmas Day!
~Go Emily~
I'm loving that smile.

Seeing your niece, with spina bifida,

take her first steps on Christmas Day...
~Priceless~

Merry Christmas

Christmas morning at our house was just as exciting

as it has always been!! Hannah's internal alarm clock went off

just around 7am.

Unfortunately, Kailyn's internal alarm

hit the snooze a few times.

After waiting patiently, Hannah & the dogs
couldn't take it anymore...
...so they went into Kailyn's room
to wake her.

Let the unwrapping begin.
Look, it's a Mousetrap Game!!

What a fun and exciting morning.

~Happy Birthday Jesus~

Last Stop

Last stop on Christmas Eve was mom & dad's house.

Yep, Santa was here too!

Wow...look at those boots.

Building blocks for Kailyn.

An airbrush kit for your nails.

What do we have here??

Mom looking at the photo book

we made them from our summer

vacation at the lake.

What a great day filled with

lots of memories!

Christmas Eve Night

Our first stop on Christmas Eve

was 4:00 mass at

Our Lady of Pompeii Church.

Here's Madyson in her Christmas attire.

After church we went to Uncle Mike & Aunt Barb's house.
Here's my mom & Madyson stopping for a quick picture.

Mike & Janine just before sitting
down to a wonderful dinner.

~Hannah & Madyson~

Hannah & Kailyn

and

Dominic & Madyson

Sprinkling more reindeer food so

Santa knows just where to stop.

And that he did!!!

Time for presents.

We all received snowman making kits

from Santa. Look at us trying out

the hat, scarf & pipe.

Can't wait to make our snowman!!

~~~~

What a fun night spent with the family!!

~Merry Christmas to all...

...and to all a good night~

Christmas Eve

What a wonderful start to Christmas!

Here we are in our pretty red outfits.

We gave each of the girls one gift to open
on Christmas Eve.

oooohhhhh, what do we have?

New pajamas!!

Matching pj's to be exact.

Before we headed out we needed to make

sure we sprinkled the reindeer food out

on the front lawn.

The food has bits of glitter in it.

This will help Santa in finding our house.

A Dance Spectrum Christmas

This year my work Christmas Party was at Lasertron.

We all had a blast!

Here we are enjoying some

pre-game festivities.

Time to suit up

and be briefed on the rules of the game.

It is an honor to know and work with all of
these beautiful and amazingly talented people!
They make me smile everyday.
~I Love my DS Family~

Next was an elbow stand contest!!
Needless to say I volunteered to be
the photographer...hee hee.

Now off to play
Cyber Sport.
Can you tell by the smiles
how much fun we had??

When the games were over
we took turns opening presents.
Look at these beautiful girls.
~Aubrey & Emma~
Do you know I use to be their
babysitter.
Boy, does that make me feel old!

Here, Miss Patty & Justine are

enjoying a Toy Story 3 puzzle book

we bought.

It was an incredibly fun

Christmas Party.

I had a cheek ache from laughing.

Definitely a great night of fun.

Christmas Pictures

This year I had a blast taking Christmas pictures.

Can you see why??

This one is my favorite:)

Yep, Rusty had tried getting in the picture.

Maybe next year Rust.

I'm not sure if she was getting tired,

or just loosing interest at this point.

Beautiful Hannah

Silly Girls

Oh how they make me smile:)

Checking out the ornaments.

Someone is getting to be a big girl!

Kisses...

...and more kisses made for a great night of pictures.
