Until Next Year

We had a wonderful Christmas, but it was crazy busy. Our Christmas started last Wednesday and ended last night. That is over a week of various Christmas gatherings......whew! Today I packed up the decorations and feel like I can breath again. Our house was over taken with decorations and kids toys. Tonight we are enjoying a quiet New Years. Mike made a wonderful dinner, the kids went to bed early and now we are sipping wine, watching movies, and probably will find my way to bed before the clock strikes midnight. I am trying to get all my Zzzz's in before the dreaded Monday. Bye Bye Maternity leave - back to reality.......Boohoo!!!

Mom and Lilah. Lilah wasn't sure about Santa (yet again).


Lilah wearing my Christmas dress from when I was her age. My mom was in heaven!


Lilah, Gracie and Will.....all within 6 months of each other.


Trying to get a group shot, but still missing 3 of the kiddos. Gotta love 8 kids under the age of 5 - Our family doesn't mess around!


At least one of my girls liked Santa ;-)


The kids in their capes. Grandma got them capes with their names on the back. Very cute!


Loving my baby girl.


Merry Christmas and Happy New Years Everyone!
