Merry Christmas

There has been way too much fun over this past week to write about all of it, so I am posting a few pics of our Christmas celebrations with both sides of the family. Uncle Geno and Auntie Lisa, Uncle Brian and Aunt Jo, Uncle Greg and Aunt Dovie, Tyrel, Wyatt, Abi, Gavin, Ana ~ WE MISS YOU!!!
I have TONS more pictures - don't ask me why but I've always got the camera handy lately. We really had a great Christmas. I have to say, I am glad it's over, I kind of had the bah humbug spirit this year. The past week or so has been great, though. We had a Christmas party with some dear friends (and missed some others!), Christmas Eve with Shawn's family, which is always so much fun, Christmas Day here (I am so proud of myself - I made the best batch of spaghetti and meatballs ever!), did some after-Christmas shopping, and spent yesterday playing in the snow. Lots to be thankful for this year.

Showing off: me and my little man

Well, thanks to my dear friend who also happens to be a VERY talented photograper (shameless plug: see lisahuberphotography.com), I have some more beautiful pics of Kole to show off. Is it just me, or does he have that "little old man" look? Gush, gush, gush!

Fun with the girls

Well, I thought I would write a long and hilarious post about how much fun I had watching Twilight (again) with some girlfriends last night. But, alas, my lovely almost-2-year-old is screaming something about Blue's Clues while loudly refusing to pick up his toys. Here are the pics, and ladies, I haven't laughed that hard in I can't remember how long. Thanks!

Welcome home, baby Kole

Last week, we were blessed with the arrival of our new bundle of joy, Kole Shawn. He was born on Friday, November 21st (daddy's birthday!), at 2:15 in the afternoon, and weighed in at 8lb., 11oz. He is an incredible blessing, and I, for one, am getting teary just thinking about how amazingly happy I am that he has joined our family. Words do not do justice to this kind of love and joy.
