We hope that everyone had a wonderful Christmas. Our trip to Virginia was a blast! Seeing all of our fmaily and just being together was such a blessing. The cousins are all getting bigger and doing new things, the grandparents loving on the kids like there was no tomorrow, it was wonderful. Cold, but wonderful. We are glad to be home, although I think that we will be unpacking for quite some time, we need a bigger house just to fit all of the new stuff.
Brace yourself...there are a lot of pictures here...



Watching Charlie Brown's Christmas with Grandad.

Mimi helped Molly and Brady and Nathan make ornaments for the tree.
Brady wanted to eat them, Molly had to remind him of the glue holding it all together.





Brady helping Marty play Uno Attack, didn't help much. :)



Grandad helped Molly paint her ornaments after they had dried. They had a blast.


Brady with Aunt Chi Chi!


Brady looking up to Uncle John on Christmas morning.

Brady had a thing about presents, he wanted to stop and play with every present he got, especially at Grandma and Pop Pop's house. Marty had to read every book the Mimi gave him before he could move on to the next present. Molly was not troubled by this need, she went through things like a wild woman.
Marty with a great present, his very own wii. He had to much fun playing tennis on it at his parents house that he took out a Christmas tree ornament and shattered a candy cane
while swinging. It's been fun.



John got a great present too... a Florida Gators snow globe with a picture of me
on one side and one of Tim Tebow on the other. PLUS it plays the UF fight song. What else is there to want?

Molly gave me this beautiful pink scarf, she had to have a pink one, very sweet.

Mimi gave Molly her very first Barbie car. Can you tell that she's excited?


Every year we get something funny tucked into our stockings, this year it was a wax mustache.
Here are the results:


My brother John breaking up a lovely moment between Marty and myself. :)


Who are those weirdos on the end ruining this sweet picture? I almost knocked Marty over.


For some reason Brady was eyeballing his new Diego toy, I have no idea why, he loves the toy.



Who could have thought that checkers could have the power to send you to
couples therapy?


Molly finally got her Zippity!


Molly and her Grandad


Mimi was loving on Brady and Molly became jealous so she jumped into the chair too.

Molly and Brady loved on poor Cousin Ethan a little too much.
Molly is watching Brady like a hawk.



Our sweet, and now 2 (!) year old, niece Natalie!


Molly LOVED playing pin the nose on Elmo at Natalie's birthday party.
Grandma made Molly's week by playing it with her over and over, it was fun for both of them.
