Christmas 2010 Highlights

I love it when life gets so busy, I don't have time to blog!  ;-) 
It means we're living the high life!!

Or at least, we're so busy living, I don't have time to document it all.

So I'm going to hit the high lights!

 Our annual trek to the best lit house in the neighborhood.

 Posing for a quick Christmas card photo! 

Well done, boys...er, men,...er males!

Whatever - it was a great picture!

 Poor first time attempt at a Ginger break house with bff, Anna from school.

Regardless of the final product, what. a . fun. day!

LOVED having her here with me!

 Some more Tacky Light tour fun with Evan and Amanda!

 Daddy reads The Story - and as he asked a lot of questions,

we were all surprised at how much the boys knew!

City of David, Shepherds and Angels, swaddling cloths and all!

 Brownies and milk for Santa!

And then, insert BIG photo gap for Christmas morning,

cuz after waking up 5 times during the night

and asking if it was Time to go Open our presents YET?"

Logan snuck down on us while we were still trying to get dressed and "ready."

It was a quick scramble to grab him back upstairs for a moment

so that we could  synch up Austin!

Our video tape footage begins with Gary on the floor

wrestling two boys until I could get the camera on and then he let them loose! 

Later, I was able to snap off one or two blurry pics of them:

 Football uniforms were the BIG gift this year!

(Austin, left.  Logan, right)

 Mason and Lory!

 Nonnie and Aunt Patsy - beautiful ladies!

Austin's favorite part of Christmas was

"Giving out ALL my presents!"

This year's dollar store gifts were awesome.

A coffee mug for Dad (from Austin).

A HUGE wall poster of Disney princesses for Lory and me (from Logan).

 A brick mansion covered in snow,
"It's Radford University, for Evan." (from Austin)

Dueling nerf swords for their big brothers!

And a('nother) hat for Uncle Mitch.

Merry Christmas!!!

From my Family to Yours!

Mitch, Patsy, Logan, Nonnie, Amanda, Evan, Lory, Mason

Me, Austin and Gary!
