Welcome, 2010!

So one of my resolutions is to be more up to date on the blog. I will begin by catching up on Christmas!


I'm so glad I got this picture, because:

1. Three -I repeat three - of my kids are all physically near Santa
2. I am not IN the picture, or standing to the side forcing someone into the picture
3. No one is crying, and in in fact
4. Lydia is actually TALKING to Santa.

So this picture is proof that miracles do happen.

Sweet Madison wore her Santa hat all day Christmas Eve.










Literally ready to dig into Christmas Eve feast. The key to getting a smile out of a teenage boy: bacon.
