And I Quote...

Mommy: "Did you play w/ Grandpa last night?"
Grace: "No, he just watched football and held the baby."
Mommy: "Well, that's okay, right?"
Grace: "Well, yeah...he had to nurse the baby so that was his payback."
...Grace, this morning, after spending the evening w/ G&G Oberle.

:)That was good for a 10min laugh!

Christmas So Far

It was good. It was chaotic, but it was good. Every year I ask myself why we go through all the work, money, stress and then I look at these pictures and I am reminded why. :)

Christmas Eve...cousins, cousins and more cousins...





Why do they make toys SO hard to open?


Good stuff, people...



Cookies, please...


These two crack me up...


Bug sharing her reading skills...Peanut(aka Braydon) thinks she is THE coolest...


All that sugar results in this...poor Jeff...


Christmas morning...this is what Santa brought...


This was the reaction...


It was a good year for presents...



Christmas night...more good stuff...


One of which was this game...which was pretty hysterical...




It was fabulous...one more celebration to go this coming weekend...until then, you'll find me curled up in the fetal position on the couch. :)

What is with this group?

This is my family...enjoy...










Found 'em! The sane ones are right here...

And I Quote...

"Mama...don't be mad...", Eme says this more and more often and it always makes nervous. ;)

Overall, I'm not a huge movie watcher, but every once in a while I get in the mood and watch several in a row. These are my two most recent...both of which I loved.


Beautiful!! I loved this film...everything about it.


I wanted to know what happened to Pippa after the movie came to an end and that's something for me because usually, well, I just don't care.

Sleep Over!!

Josie spent the night w/ us last weekend....we love having our Josie Bean w/ us. :)

There were cuddles...


Sleep...the fun kind...in the living room...


Breakfast...that they made themselves...


Twister...


Dinner...which they really wanted to have at the top of the stairs...


We have a tiny little house, but somehow it seems bigger when these girls are together filling it w/ the kind of joy only kids can bring. :)

Simply...

...one of the greatest crackers ever made. True statement.

Happy Turkey Day
