Christmas cards 2012...

I took down the Christmas cards today and made our 2012 album. Got the idea from this post here
I will continue to make them each year and keep them out during the holidays so we can look back and remember!  Heart all our friends and loved ones.

Cousin time...

Aunt Lil & Uncle Terry came down to Dave's home on Christmas day and spent a few days with them. They spent last night and then tonight with my folks. Dave only lives about 45 minutes away, but it's always nice for mom/dad/Terry & Lil to get adult time to visit.

Victor, Charlie and I went up around noon and Dave, Claire, Marilyn arrived a little after.

Victor made the main course, with Claire assisting. 

The girls had a blast playing together and there was lots of laughter!  Love our family!

The three amigos...

We had dinner at the Hoffman's home tonight. The kiddos hadn't seen each other in weeks and they had a blast! The grown-ups got to visit and then the kiddos exchanged gifts! We are so blessed to have them in our lives!!! Friends for LIFE! Thank you Hoffman family! We love you guys!

I forget the names of these blankets, but Matthew & Maddy each got one for Christmas and they got Charlie one too!  The three of them then proceeded to SING the infomercial song, which I'm sure I will now start hearing anytime Disney channel is on.

Merry Christmas!!!

Christmas morning...

The kiddo was up and in our bed before 6am...I asked her to take a little bit more of a rest...which she did...She'd already been downstairs to make sure Santa had arrived and got his cookies and milk! Fun stuff this Christmas morning and we'll be heading up to my folks to spend the day! Merry Christmas from our home to yours!

Happy birthday Jesus!

She got a new swimsuit.

I think she's gonna have to grow a few inches to fit into these pants... :)

Great mystery from Grandpa Cina.
