Christmas - in a nut shell!

Well, here it is - the update! I've gotten so many emails asking "Hey - are you going to post on your blog soon??? Hello - where are you???"

I'm here - still in North Carolina. Still not doing much of anything...which includes blogs lately!

Anyway - Christmas! It was great! We went to Ohio to spend the holidays with Ski's family. We officially do not need anything else at this point - especially toys! I've also had my fill of cat allergies for the next little while!

Before we went, we got to enjoy our tree for all of about 8 minutes. But atleast the kids had fun decorating it!



We also opened most of our gifts before we went up to Ohio so that we didn't have to travel with so much stuff. It turned out, that was a really good idea! However, after Ski got a taste of what Matt's guitar hero was all about, it's all he could think about getting back to once vacation was over!
Grandma (Or GG as Cadence started calling her) had a blast hanging out with the kids. They made cookies and went to the zoo and the movies! Ski and I took advantage of time with no kids and went shopping. Not only did I get Ski into a store - but it was also the day after Christmas when the mall was completely insane. Wish I could bottle that kind of persuasion up for use at a later time!!!
It was so much fun to see my sister in law Noel with her cute pregnant belly! We are all so excited to meet little celest when she makes her grand entrance into the world!

The mom and dad to be!!! He looks real "hard" now but wait till you see him wrapped around his little girls finger! It'll be another Ski and Cadence all over again!

God bless their redneck hearts - cleaning their guns after going shooting!

Christmas morning!

She had a rough time this year with her birthday being on Christmas day!The GG's

Matt was the only one that dressed up. Here he is in front of the "fire"

Pork and Kathy drove down from Rogers City to spend the holidays with all of us!

Me and Kathy!


Those two are always messing with each other!


The highlight of Matt's trip was shooting the pellet gun - and of course it just melts my heart to see him teaching her how to shoot! I'm just glad she wasn't pointing it in his direction.

Hope everyone had a great holiday!
