Well, it's certainly been a whirlwind month for us...It's hard to belive that 2009 is almost here!
So, what have we been up to since our last post in November? Mainly it's been....
CHRISTMAS, CHRISTMAS, CHRISTMAS!
There's been shopping, decorating, baking, wrapping, cleaning, cooking, driving, eating...oh yeah, and some working! The most fun part of the holidays is the time with friends and family, though. While I wasn't very good with the camera this holiday season, I do have a few cute pictures to share:
This past Saturday, we held our "Second Annual" Holiday party. This year (and all years forward) it is to be named the "St. Nichol's" Christmas Party. While I didn't take many pictures, here are some cute ones of the kids!
Here is Duncan with the vacuum we gave him for Christmas!
Henry is "all wrapped up" in opening his gift!
Victoria sports the Hair bow very nicely!
A week ago, Jeremy and I spend the day with Kim, Gary, Ian & Connor making Christmas cookies...the kids were so much fun, and Ian was quite helpful with the cookie making!
I think Connor is looking for his presents! :)
Ian is quite the Happy Elf!
And, of course, we made our year trek to West Allis for a drive through Candy Cane Lane to look at all of the decorated lights. If you've never been, I highly recommend it. Just remember to get there before 10pm (unlike us this year) so you can get the full affect, and also have a chance to meet Santa and donate to the MACC fund.
Of course, it is also tradition to stop at Mama Mia's for some of my favorite pizza and GARLIC BREAD...as you can see on my face, this was the highlight of the week for me!
We hope that you all have been able to enjoy the holidays this year! As times get tough for everyone, we realize more than ever how much we are blessed to have such wonderful Family and Friends and we wish everyone the Merriest Christmas, the Happiest Holidays, and only the best in 2009!
Jeni & I are "sweet as honey"! :)
