We got a tree... not the tree I wanted, but a nice tree nonetheless.
Blue reigned supreme in the decision making process.
I decorated it.... alone *insert sad face*
Each year we (I) pick 2 colors for the tree. In 2005, it was red and gold. In 2006, it was green and gold. In 2007, it was red and green (how original). And this year, we chose silver and gold. The tree was beautful and elegant... if I do say so myself.
Check out a few pics...
Every year, the church puts on its annual Sunday School Christmas program. All the children participate. Well, guess who made his debut this year???? Whyyyyy, Jordie of course!!! His poem reads:
Twinkle twinkle little star
Shine on manger bed
Where the baby Jesus child
Rests His kingly head
All in all, not very difficult - but quite a feat for a 2 year old!!! We are soooo proud of him!
Check him out..
Christmas definitely lived up to all the hype this year!! I was so excited for Christmas this year (well, at this point last year) and it met and surpassed every expectation. The boys left me overjoyed and wanting more! I didn't have nary a gift under the tree, and it didn't make one bit of difference. To see their little smiles and them jumping around with such glee... a mother could not ask for more!!!!
We hosted breakfast at our house - and it was just so nice to have everyone over (from both sides) and to have everyone get along and fellowship in love. After breakfast we went to my aunt Kim's house for dinner. Comme d'habitude, we were late!! Everyone had already eaten by the time we got there. You know you're late when Herm beats you to the house!!!! LOL We played Taboo and only had a few intense moments....pretty good for my family. It was a VERY long day and I never wanted it to end!!! This was truly the best Christmas in a VERY VERY VERY long time!! Thank God for Jesus!
Check out my beautiful family.
bright and early Christmas morning
I know 2 little boys who made out like bandits!!!!! (in their oh so cute snowman pajamas)
The Snyders, the Lovetts, The Chavises and the Weekses - I'm Lovin' It!
Right after Christmas I got sick.... like a really bad cold.
Don't I just ooooooze sick!! The boys take good care of me though
I am actually still suffering from a bit of a cough and we are a good 2 weeks past Christmas. Anyway, all that to say is I missed pretty much the whole week of New Year's. Can't say I really documented all that much and I sadly missed Watch Night Service on New Year's Eve. I'm just glad the boys didn't get sick... other than a little runny nose.
New Year's Day we had a little get together....and I cooked!! ummmmm, kinda
The family came over and my parents came back down - a great day sniffles and all.
The best part of the day had to be getting my parents and MIL to play the Wii. They bowled, played tennis, WATCHED boxing and just loved it!!! They could finally understand why I said I was addicted. (Mommy even called me the next day saying she was dragging Daddy out to buy one! lol)
Mooooooorrrreeeeee family!!
Really just Dadu and his 'grandboys' and a little GG in action (playing Wii)
ok...next post - 2009!!! WOOO HOOOOOO!! We're going to a Sixers game tomorrow (all of us), so we'll see how that turns out.
