All I Want For Christmas

Christmas is always a special time for our family. We celebrate the birth of Jesus from the day after Thanksgiving until Christmas Day and the birth of my Mommy on Christmas Eve (and Christmas, her actual birthday). The kids only want to listen to Christmas carols in the car and the house is filled with smells of pine from the tree, cinnamon from the scented glittered pine cones, and what ever food I am making or baking. Both Brady and Sydney received exactly what they asked for from everyone. The top items, where the ipod touch for Sydney and Little League World Series Baseball for the Wii for Brady. All I want is for Christmas to come much slower this year. Time is going by way too fast. Is it March already and I am finally posting about Christmas 2010.

Thanksgiving Vacation!

Thanksgiving 2010 will be one to remember for a long time. There was no cooking for 20 people, no turkey, no cranberry sauce, no pie... we just had sun, palm trees and pina coladas. It was the first time Craig and I had been to Oahu since we were teenagers and we had a blast. We took the kids to Pearl Harbor for some history, but then the rest of the trip was just nothing but relaxing. We stayed in Waikiki and Turtle Bay! Turtle Bay was fantastic fun! Thanks for coming with us Grammy.

Brady Bomber

Now it is Brady's turn to play after watching his sister and waiting and waiting to finally play all the sports he loves. Fall 2010 Brady played flag football for the first time. He also played in his first baseball tournament in addition to playing winter baseball. He had a couple touchdowns and his first in the park home run. So cute to watch. Can he stay this age forever?

Halloween 2010

Lots of parties and too much candy!

My Baby Brother FINALLY Tied the Knott

What a beautiful day in Greenville Texas. This was definitely the most unique wedding I have ever been too. What a beautiful tribute to the brides family for it to be on the ranch that has been in her family for over 100 years. It was a beautiful setting, a touching ceremony, and a great party. What more can you ask for? I love you Jay and Tricia. Jay, you are a lucky guy to have this woman in your life. Welcome to the family, T!!! :)

The Rehersal

A brilliant dinner and then some karaoke at the Brass Rail. I will never forget that place. I do not do karaoke, but my new sis Tricia sure can belt those songs out.

Yeehaw!

Our first stop in Texas was the Fort Worth Stockyards. We loved the long horns, but didn't think much of the steak. Sydney Paige is a steak connoisseur. She did love the Cowtown Cattlepen Maze and the huge candy store.
