snow snow snow!

Let us hold on to the JOY as we begin our NEW YEAR.

CHRISTMAS......I, II, & III....

Why, look at that, Santa must have brought one of his elves along to take a picture of him enjoying the cool glass of milk and M&M's left by Mia on Christmas Eve...Ho Ho HO!


no, really, she loves it! this minnie 'party hat' was a big hit from Uncle Donny and Aunt Sara- we just got a picture at the end of the 'cheeeeeessssse!'

WOW! a desk!

Milk break after trying out the new tricycle that Santa managed to squeeze down the chimney. Just a bit too short, but by the summer- look out sidewalks of Delaware...

Christmas morning at Mamaw & Papaws. Mia thoroughly enjoyed everything- she was a great helper with her new reading skills- she was able to help pass out presents- what a good little elf! Of course, this was her 4th Christmas! Diego wasn't too sure about all the fuss and seemed frustrated that the packages were blocking his access to the many buttons on the VCR, Cable and TV entertainment center that were just begging to be pushed by Mr. Buttons...

All Decked out- under a little layer of snow....looks better in person- we really enjoyed our lights this year...unfortunately, we didn't get the big snowflake up....this summer we hope to rig something up that will allow us to attach it to the peak where we had it last year...we shall see what we come up with for our 'display' next year...definately liked the blue....

COUSINS! our cousin population will be increasing next year- we can't wait!
The kids- Mia 3 1/2, Carson 3, Morgan 2 1/2, Diego 1 1/2.
They were quite cute to watch playing together this year...

Santa and his elf were busy this year making sure we got all OUR DUCKS IN A ROW...(couldn't resist!)

hmmm...now where did Mia go????

Happy New Year!

Welcoming the new year, excited to see what new things it will bring. We look forward to new events for Mia- soccer, pre-school, swim lessons...we shall see. For Diego- we can't wait to see the personality of our little man even more as he learns to talk and tell us a few tales....For Rod and I, well, guess time will tell what we have in store for 2010.
May it have wonderful moments for all of you!
