2010?!?!

I can not believe it is 2010. Where have the last 10 years gone? I was going to share some decade highlights with you, but am having some serious trouble scanning old pictures (I am very frustrated with technology right now-- whole other post) so I will settle on giving a recap of Christmas and New Year's. Woo Hoo!

We had a wonderful Christmas and the kids LOVED the snow! We had to change our Christmas Eve plans-- we were supposed to drive to Sherman to see Jonathan's cousins, but decided we would rather be safe than sorry. So after a nice Christmas Eve lunch at Jonathan's brother's house we went to church and then came home, made reindeer food and got ready for Santa.

And let's just say Santa did NOT dissappoint! Trevor recieved a new, taller basketball goal (which he has already mastered! The kid can shoot!) and Ashley got the piano keyboard she asked for. Thank you, Santa, for these extra large items that have taken over my home. Much appreciation.

Anyway, after the madness of ALL the Santa loot and the 4,000 other presents that somehow landed under our tree (cuz we sure did need some more stuff), we took a break to go play in the snow. There was a snowball fight, snow angels, and a snowman~ what a fun bonus to have snow on Christmas! We spent the rest of the break just hanging out, and enjoying being together. Coach Ellis even took a few days off!

My mom was here for the full two weeks and my kids LOVE their Nonna. And I LOVE how she helps me! She even braved a sleepover with Ashley and her friend on New Year's Eve as Jonathan and I went out with friends! Go Nonna! Every year she gets the kids party hats and noise makers, pizza and a fun dessert so they can have their own party. Such a fun grandmother! She's still trying to recover...

School started back as promised (yippeeee!!) and now we are already getting an extra day off because of the freezing temperatures and "ice". Thus a very bold confirmation that I am a warm weather and flip-flops kind of girl!

Here are some pics from our wonderful holiday! Hope yours was fabulous too! And I promise this is the last year for matching Christmas plaid pajamas!
