MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!

These are some pics from when we were decorating our tree a few weeks ago. I hope you all have a Merry Christmas! I love the saying, "Wise men still seek Him" - I hope we can all keep ourselves in the true spirit of the season and enjoy every minute!

Happy 1st Birthday

My adorable little neice - at first, she wanted nothing to do with me:

but i wore her down =)

she is so loved!



notice her look of consternation as MY son leaps in and blows out her candles (SORRY!)

daintily opening presents:

and here she is, caught in the act - her favorite thing to do - climbing the stairs.

Happy Birthday sweetie!

LET IT SNOW!

LET IT SNOW!!

LET IT SNOW!!!

Tomorrow my baby turns FIVE!!! I can't believe it! I'm always fake boo-hoo-ing to him about how he can't grow up, becuase he has to be my baby forever, and he always grins that adorable little grin of his, hugs me, and says, "That's okay, mom, Benny will be your baby!" I don't know, it's hard, kwim??!?!

Unlike last year, in 90 degree Dallas, we've had a TON of snow lately, and the boys love it! I love it, too - it really makes the season feel like Christmas. And I adore my next-door neighbor who loves to spoil everyone on the block and shovel their walks and driveways (thanks Dennis!!!)
