Playing catch up......

So now that I have been off work for almost 2 weeks for Christmas break, I am finally starting to catch up on some things...October through December always seem to be so crazy busy for us that a lot of times things just don't get done or get put aside for later{or later than later in my case} Anyway.....I did finally get some things accomplished and have had several much needed and wanted jammy days, a wonderful Christmas with my family, beautiful snow yesterday that is still on the ground today{added plus!} and a few pictures along the way....OHHH did I mention that I got a camcorder for Christmas...that should make things fun for trips and family gatherings {thanks to my sweetie pie husband} {Jaycie sitting up like a big girl in between Uncle Josh and Aunt Bree}

Before anything on Christmas morning we read the Christmas story from Luke chapter 2 . this year Bree read for us....I remember when they were all too young to read the Christmas story{flashback!} Now two of our three children have babies of their own that will all too soon be able to read themselves....

{Kayden really had fun this Christmas.....he is learning that the presents under the tree mean toys for him!} {Jaycie was perfectly content chewing on wrapping paper or bows}

{Candace watching Josh open his gift from Melissa.... a new pair of boots}

{Jimmy and Kayden sharing good morning hugs!} {opening gifts}{Kayden playing under a chair...wouldn't life be so much simpler if we could all be entertained so easily? } Mr Kooper slept through the whole thing...... such a sweet lil baby =)

Then for New Years Day we went to do the "I need totes to organize this house" shopping but stopped along the way to get some pictures of Bree and Dalton for their first New Years Day together.....

{ And my good sport of a husband let me get some of him also......}

{ This may be what he really wanted to be doing but he endured the shopping/photo/lunch trip with us!}

{ caught him snapping a few shots with his phone...of me.....{probably won't be posting them!}

That's about it for now....back to work tomorrow unless the roads don't get any better today.
