Christmas 2013

 A whirlwind of a holiday.  Christmas 2013 flew by and was lots of fun.
There is nothing quite like spending the holidays with a 6 year old and 4 year old.
 At my office Christmas party, aboard the Argosy Cruise lines.  Very cool venue for a party!
 Kathryn's preschool Christmas performance.  She was an angel and had a speaking part.  She rocked it! I promise she is in that picture somewhere!
Thank you Papa & Grandma Soon for making the drive to come see it!

 The annual baking day - successful yet again
 In the midst of decorating.  Snoopy is always a big hit and I have to remind the kids not to pummel him.
 Gingerbread decorating tradition: complete!
 Awwww. . . this makes me smile.  There were Cheetos in the box. When Kerri opened them Ryan jumped up and down and squealed - he was so happy to give those.
  
Grandma Kathie and grand kids.
 LOVE these cousin photo's. These are the best looking kids in the world!
Some of the nicest too!
 The poodles!
 Christmas morning was my favorite. I have fond memories of stockings when I was growing up and am loving the continuation of that tradition.
Kathryn's favorite gift this year was a play tea set, Barbies and a bunch of stuff for her to use in her hair.

 A kitty for Christmas?

 Poodle photo bomb
 So so SO excited to receive a BAG full of hot wheels.  He told everyone it was his favorite gift. He asked Santa for a box full of hot wheels, but said it was ok that it actually came in a bag.
 A huge Christmas regret: I got no photo's of our Christmas with Paul's side of the family. We celebrated with them on Christmas day, for Christmas dinner.  Cousins - Ruby, now 11 - nearly 12 is growing up so fast!  Kimberly now 7, is great friends with Ryan and Kathryn. We don't get to see them nearly enough.


Ok 2014 - let's see what you have to offer!
