Recession, what recession?

Christmas was outstanding this year. We spent Christmas Eve with my parents and ate to much and played games. Christmas day was at home, then my parents for brunch and Jason's parents for dinner. Everyone got exactly what they wanted

Santa Claus is coming to town!

cookie decorating

I love decorating cookies at the holidays. We went to my parents as this has become my moms tradition, decorating cookies with the boys. it was somewhat of a success - max ate all that he decorated and Noah made it through about 2 cookies before he was bored. Jason, my mom and I decorated all 3 dozen. We then put on PJ's and drove around to look at Christmas light with Rudolph Movie playin in the car. This lasted all of 20 minutes....Both boys zonked out!

I LOVE GREEN COOKIE ICING!!!

The man in the big red suit

I love Utica Square at Christmas time! We went and visited Santa today. Noah did very well and actually told santa what he wanted - WallE Movie and Toys for him and Max. I think Santa can handle that order this year.

Noah did great - Maxi, well, uh not so well (as to be expected)

"Help me daddy! For the love of God, put down the camera and help me"

No that's a pile of leaves

Jason decided to blow all the leaves in the backyard for one giant pile. The boys had fun...as you can see!

Buried alive
