The holidays came and went so fast this season! We have been having a blast! Here is an update: For Christmas this year we stayed home! It was so nice to begin our own little family traditions and to just be together as a family! Santa was so generous this year and our family was so blessed! Gabe is so funny, when we went in his room to wake him on Christmas morning, he pulled the covers back over his head and wanted to go back to sleep! Of course once he got up he was super excited! Shelby was so cute, even though it was her first Christmas and she really didn't know what was going on, she still had a great time!

Shelby was all smiles on Christmas morning! I love it when my kids are happy!

Gabe so loved his Handy Manny workbench that Santa brought him! I was worried that the noises that it made would scare him because he generally doesn't like toys like this, but he totally loves it!


Here is my sweet smiling shelby! She has been pretty happy lately and I love it! She has such beautiful blue eyes!
As for the New Year, there is a lot going on and through it all, I still really blessed! I have a lot of personal goals that I am working on and also a few for my family! What a great time of year it is! I am looking forward to the many memories and growing times this year will bring!
