Lots to catch up on!!!

Merry Christmas!!!

The girls watched out the window as Brady put out Reindeer Food on our front yard.
Mission Accomplished!

Santa came! Emma is a happy girl.

Nyah is a happy girl!

Oooooooooh! A Littlest Petshop gym!

Alissa is a happy girl!

Look what Santa brought!!! (The girls asked me if Santa shops at Target).

Sandy loves her new rope toy. She is a happy dog.

Sing Along! "We are a happy family!!!"

We had a very peaceful (and WHITE!!!) Christmas morning.

Then came time to face that "white stuff."

We all loaded in Brady's trusty Subaru and drove to Shaundra's house to visit with

my side of the family.

This is Shaundra and Tony- my sister and brother.

We just relaxed, exchanged gifts, and ate Christmas goodies.

After that, we drove up to Arlington to see the Dickson side of the family.

Their road was... tricky. I think I held my breath the whole time. You know...

two feet of hard packed icy snow with huge ruts in it! Yeah. Good thing we had Brady's "trusty Subaru" or we would have been stuck 'till January!

All scary driving conditons aside, it was a WONDERFUL BEAUTIFUL CHRISTMAS!!!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

Brady and I celebrated New Years from the comfort of our living room.
Scrabble and Martinelli's Sparkling Apple Cider... how can you go wrong?!

=)

We got to see the space needle (which brought back oh-so-fond memories of my hospital stay).

And then to New York with Dick Clark. Is it just me, or does he seem
more and more like a robot every year???

Happy New Year!

Time for a room make-over!

For the first time in my life, I have a guest/craft room!

It was sad to say goodbye to the princesses. I painted this mural soon after we
moved in, but in order for it to be MY room, it just had to go.
Goodbye princesses.
Hello new colors!
