We had Christmas with Joe's extended family on the 23rd and with his immediate family on the 25th. We always have such a great time. I love playing all the games. This year we played the newly wed game and came in 2nd to his cousins. yeah! Christmas on the 25th was wonderful once again, we had a great meal and lots of laughs.
Cousins Andrea and Jason read Austin his last book of the night. He played so hard with Andrea and Jason earlier in the day it was just perfect that they be the ones to put him to sleep.
Gracie had a Christmas program December 14th. She did an awsome job. We were so proud of her. However, we only have this one little picture of her because we were back to far and the gym was too dark.
Grandma, Mom, Michelle, Angie, Annette, Haley, Gracie, and Marissa get together every year to bake goodies for Christmas Eve at Grandma's. Here are some pictures of all the fun we had.
While Gracie is at school, this is one thing Austin does to pass the time away. He is actually getting pretty good with the mouse (which he says is not a mouse, but a turtle)
This is the cabin we stayed at in Gatlinburg. We have traveled the last 2 years for Thanksgiving here in the moutains. This year Michelle and Sean went with us. We had a great time.
Gracie and Austin in the "swimmin pool". They had a blast playing in this jacuzzi tub. They had bubbles everywhere. They had to shower afterward to get all the bubbles off.
I am 37 years old, married to a wonderful man for 12 years and have the best job in the world, taking care of my 2 beautiful children. Gracie - 10 and Austin - 5.
