December Happenings!

Now that December is nearly over, and all of 2010 for that matter, I figured I would post a few of the highlights from this December. We had a great month, and enjoyed every moment! We were definitely busy, but it was worth it, and this will be a Christmas season that will always be remembered and treasured. I have decided to post the actual Christmas Eve and Christmas Day in a separate post, so no worries, they're coming! We hope that you have all enjoyed your December as much as we have. Love to you!

Getting ready for the annual Cookie Exchange.

The first picture is of Catherine in 2010. The second picture is of Isabella in 2008. Grandma Becky bought this super cute dress for Isabella, and I was so happy to get a picture of Catherine in the dress as well!

The Classic (okay, Ugly) Christmas Sweater Party! I think if Anthony had a "Christmassy" turtle neck, he would have won, hands down!

There are two ways to paint Christmas pictures: Isabella's Way...
...and Catherine's Way! Don't worry...we were painting with Sweet and Condensed Milk and food coloring. Non-toxic!

Isabella's very first Preschool performance. She did great, and didn't even freak out when Santa showed up! Preschool has been VERY good for Isabella.

Making another batch of cookies. This time for the neighbors! Our kitchen saw a lot of baking action this year!

Super fun Christmas jammies from Aunt Betty! Love them!

The Boys.
We were so blessed to have Anthony's "old" friends come over for dinner. Tyler was definitely missed, but a good time was had by all!
