Happy New Year

Ahhh, I finally feel like I can breathe a sigh of relief..This time of year is always hectic and there is no easy way about it.  I love it for the same reasons though too..Spending time with family and friends and the Christmas music, and the Celebration of Jesus' birthday, its awesome..but I'm tired!  We traveled once a week during the month of December and back in the same day, we celebrated Christmas with 3 families in 3 days, Parker turned 5 on New Year's Eve, and we hosted a small NYE celebration with kiddos last night..the house was full, the kids ran and ran and I was in bed by 11:30!!

While I love this time of year, I'm also excited for the hustle and bustle to be over, and we had a day of nothing today...absolutely nothing..almost to the extent that we were all bored. The girls stayed in their PJ's all day and we didn't leave the house for anything!  I think we're all ready for Monday and the New Year with a fresh start!

Here's to a great 2011!

Christmas Eve in Kansas City..The girls LOVED seeing Santa who stopped by on his very busy night!

Christmas Morning at home

Christmas Day at Grandma and Grandpa Rick's.  The girls are blowing out the candles after singing Happy Birthday to Jesus!

Christmas with Nana & Papa on Sunday morning~  The girls got a new table and Chairs for the craft room we decided to do in the basement!

Parker's Birthday morning.  She is a New Year's Eve baby..It wasn't under the wire though, she was born at 7:06 in the morning on New Year's Eve day.

Parker requested Breakfast at Jeanies Cafe!  She then had lunch with Nana and Papa at Freddy's!

New Year's Eve at our house with a few friends...this was towards the end of the night, and several had already left.. The guys played cards, and the kids did really great entertaining themselves while the gals chatted away~
