Happy Birthday DAD!!  Awww..the memories!!  We will be celebrating in your honor tonight!!  We miss you and love you!

Christmas Day 2010...

Christmas has come and gone..but we will always have the memories on the blog!  All the kids got everything they could imagine and more! Annabella was not to thrilled about the whole "opening presents" thing in the beginning..but she soon got the hang of it and was tearing them open to see what new surprise was inside! My mom made each of the kids a warm, fuzzy blanket.  She wanted a shot of all of them wrapped up in them on the stairs.  So cute...Annabella got one too..but she refused to be in the picture...stubborn little 2 year old!  LOL..what are you to do??

Twas the night before Christmas...

and all through the house...we were trying to make CAKEPOPS that were not turning out just RIGHT!!! They are supposed to look like this...

and this...  

but ours looked a lot more like this...LOL!!  Not an easy task..these Cake pops..but the girls had fun doing them! 

Playing with a LENSBABY that I rented...

The presents are all wrapped and ready to go!!

All of my beautiful Christmas cards....I love them all!

The girls all writing letters to Santa!!
