Christmas and Alexis' Birthday

Well, it's here and done! Christmas was here and went and my baby girl turned 6!! We had a great holiday and hope you all did also. I am ashamed to say that while I did get everything on video Christmas morning I didn't take one still picture of the kids opening their gifts. Shame on me! As with everyone else, this time of year is super busy for us. The kids had various activities with church and school to perform in. Then Alexis was asked to be an angel in the children's Christmas service at church. We usually head to my mom and dad's in Bellefonte but we had an ice storm that held us up until after lunch. We got down there (in our pj's) after lunch to open gifts and then made it to Mike's parents for dinner and gifts with them. Mike's sister, Heidi, and her kids are visiting us from Arizona so we've been busy seeing them. We've been enjoying our time together and are looking forward to another great year. Here's to 2010!!!

Tis the Season

Well, we did it.  We went for our Christmas tree.  Every year at this time I say how next year will not be as busy and I'll try to calm things down...this wasn't the year.  As a matter of fact, this has been the busiest year I can remember in a looonnnggg time.  We have the house decorations up and the kids are getting very excited, which gets me excited.  We'll put the tree up next weekend and then the countdown to Santa begins.  Here are a few pictures from the trek to the tree for you to enjoy.
