A Trip Down Memory Lane...

When I took a break from ending my old blog and starting my new one, I missed out on sharing some really cute pictures magical memories from my favorite time of year.

So take a trip back with me, will you, and enjoy a few Christmas memories...

Logan's Christmas party at school was especially fun for me because I did not have to plan it because Brooklynn, Rob and I were all able to attend.

Complete with Rudolph noses

enough snacks to feed an army

and a love note from Logan's 'girlfriend', Megan

we enjoyed several carols sung by the kindergarten class

and even received special keepsake ornaments.

And what party wouldn't be complete with a visit from SANTA himself?!

Now, you'll notice that I don't have any pictures from Brooklynn's Preschool Christmas party...hmmm...We certainly didn't skip her party because a certain, stubborn, 4 year-old-girl threw a tantrum in our living room, tore off all her clothes and preceeded to throw her naked body on the floor kicking and screaming because she did not like the outfit she had on...now did we?!

So, on we reminice some more Christmas memories...

The kids were hoping to keep a close eye on the Christmas tree throughout the month of December, but it looks like they were unsuccessful...

as they both fell asleep on the job!

 

Santa came, as promised for my two, sweet, innocent, well-behaved children...

 

and spoiled them rotten!

 

We spent New Year's Eve at John and Jen's house ringing in the new year with family, good food, noisemakers, and party hats.

 

A good time was had by all...

all, except the 3 little girls that shared a room with Brooklynn who were rudly awoken at 3 a.m. to the noise of my daughter getting sick. 

Sorry again, Jen!

 

We spent the next few days ringing in the new year all recouperating from the flu and packing away the Christmas decorations. 

 

The holidays are such a magical time of year when you have little ones to celebrate with.  They allow you to re-live your childhood make you a believer all over again...
