New Year's Eve

I am not a big fan of lighting fireworks. I love watching fireworks when someone else lights them, like the 4th of July off my parent's back deck or at a Round Rock baseball game, but not in my own backyard. Bill bought a bucket of fireworks for the kids for new year's eve this year and the boys had a blast lighting them. Cody was a little scared at first but once he saw Brayden having fun he jumped right in.

The sticker says "PYRO bucket assortment" which I thought was fitting. throwing those little white things that pop

partners in crime.

Three Beautiful Kids!

Christmas 2009

Christmas this year was again a little crazy. You would think I would be used to the excitement by now but it still catches me off guard every year. I think especially this year with a new little baby added to the mix. We spent Christmas eve at a friends house for a little party. Santa showed up and gave each boy a toy from his sack which both boys thought was really neat. We came home and starting preparing for Santa to come again. Christmas morning was super fun, I have never seen so many toys, Santa out did himself this year. We packed everyone up after opening presents and headed to my moms house, where we were met with 5 other children and their parents. What a great time having all the kids together. The next day we left for Angleton bright and early and spent the day with Debbie, Joe, Josh, Kristy and Zoey.

And the following day it was off to JoLynn and Johnny's house

and then to my grandmother's

before a long trip home. The car ride home was a disaster, I am not sure it could have been much worse with all the bathroom stops and spills and crying and yelling. It was the longest 4 hours Bill and I have ever spent in the car and we vowed to never do that again...until next year. Christmas wouldn't be Christmas without all the crazy travel schedules and famliy events, I know if we didn't do it all Bill would have to listen to me complain about how bored I am :)
