MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!

LEAVE ME ALONE SISTER...I JUST WANT TO PLAY WITH MY MAILBOX - NO PICTURES!!!!!


Merry Christmas!!! 

Finally PRESENTS!!!!

Santa...along with wonderful family and friends were all so very good to all of us...we had an amazing Christmas full of not only wonderful gifts, but special times and wonderful memories!!


Chase's MAILBOX!!!! 

We harraseed Kipper....

POOR Kipper had to wear Jingle Bell collars and give Amelia's new pink poodle a piggy back ride - but we still love her so much!!!

 

Waiting for Santa....

We went to North Carolina for Christmas this year - we arrived late Thursday night so we had a few days to wait for Santa to arrive....

We visited Freds and posed in front of his singing snowman Carolers....

We dressed up and went to church with Bubba and Nanny...

And we went for some wonderful walks in the North Carolina cold air (even though it didn't snow until AFTER Christmas)!! 

Our Santa Visit 2006

Well...I finally got Chase to get NEAR Santa....it was rough! He was having a HUGE fit...thank goodness Santa is full of patience this year! This is the best shot we could get...kind of cracks me up...the first ones Amelia had this cute smile and she was cuddled up to Santa...by the time we at least got Chase facing forward - she was just about sick of the photo shoot - hee hee!

Anyway...at least I have one shot for this year...

Merry Christmas everyone!!!! 

Chase's Turn!

Chase had his Christmas party today in class - here are a few photos!!!

 

Kindergarten Christmas Party!!!

Today was Amelia's class party - Chase and I went to celebrate!!! Here are a few photos of Chase sharing a seat at his sisters "table 2" and of the entire class enjoying their party!!!

 

Oh Christmas Tree...Oh Christmas Tree...

Here are some photos of our tree this year - we all just love it!

The kids were being just a bit too silly for any cute photos but it was worth a shot!!!


 

Fun with Savannah...

Amelia and Chase were having some fun with Savannah (aka WaWa) after dinner tonight. She was a pretty good sport about wearing the baseball cap they both insisted looked FANTASTIC on her!!!
 

THE OUTTAKES!!

I have about 30 more of these...we had the best time...


 

You can dress them up...

But you can't take them out...

Carolan and Jim hosted this month's supper club at Jim's new studio downtown. Jim was so generous to take some photos of each of the couples - Grant and I had a blast taking them! I think these are the first photos of the two of us since our wedding!!!

Thanks Jim!!!

Gymnastics!!

Sunday we went to see Amelia's buddy Maddie compete in the level 3 State Meet! Maddie did awesome and Amelia loved having a chance to see her good friend and cheering her on!

She woke up bright and early, made signs saying "10.0 Go Maddie!," and had a blast picking out flowers and baloons.

Way to go Maddie! 

Its Pajama Time!!!!!

Pajammy to the left...Pajammy to the right!!!

It was Pajama Day at Amelia and Chase's school!!!

My favorite day of the year - wake them up, brush their teeth, brush their hair, breakfast and GO!!!! LOVE IT!!!

I wish you could see more of our tree in the photos - it is so beautiful this year - we picked it out in NC with Nanny and Bubba and we just LOVE it!
