From out home to yours...

Merry Christmas and a very happy 2009!!!!

And he's off...

and I am going NUTS!!! Carson started to crawl this week. It is by far the most ungraceful crawl I have ever seen but it gets him where he wants to go, in a hurry, and all by himself! I have been trying to wrap presents all morning with no luck due to this new milestone! So it may be a un-wrapped gift year for us!!! Wish me luck... the fun has just begun!!!!! I'll post pics later!!!!

All I want for Christmas...

After Thanksgiving, while in West Virginia we took the boys to see Santa Clause. I was so surprised how well Nolan did. Nolan loved him. Carson... not so much! Nolan was so anxious when we got there but when we got in line, he ran right over got on his lap and told him what he wanted for Christmas... TINKERBELL STICKERS! Yes, my little boy (whose is ALL boy) wants Tinkerbell stickers from Santa. Carson was so beside himself. Truthfully, I am not even sure he knows whose lap he is on but he cried because mommy left him! Nothing wrong with a little mommy's boy... or 2! Here it is... the classic Santa picture!

Oh jolly fella...

For Nolan's 1st Christmas I took my most favorite picture yet... so I had to do it again with Carson. My boys may hate me for this when they get older but I love it...

and he did not even pee-pee on me!

It's gonna be a long Christmas...

We put up and decorated our Christmas tree this weekend. Since then, we have re-decorated it about 20 times! Nolan can not wait to get up in the morning and destroy my Christmas tree. He thinks all the ornaments are balls. He waits til we are not looking and then sneaks over to take another one off the tree. I have threatened him with his life and he still does it. We may not have a tree come Christmas! Here are a few pics from our decorating disaster....

Putting the angel on the tree...

Nolan putting his 1st baby ornament on the tree...The boys...And this picture explains it all!!!!

Tis' the season...

A little town outside of Charlotte transisitoned to Christmasville this past weekend. They had lost of fun activities for the kids. They had a Grinch who told stories to the children, horse carriage rides, train rides, christmas programs (starring our very own Jordan Sanders!!!) and even had a little snow to play in! The kids had a blast. Here are a few pics from the weekend!

Jordan... our little star!

The kids with the Grinch... I can't believe Nolan liked him... He is getting pretty brave!

Nolan with Santa...

Best of friends... and the worst of trouble!Mean Uncle Dave threw a snowball... Nolan is still talking about how mean Uncle Dave is!!! (He holds grudges)Even Carson got to play in the snow....

Look at that cold little nose...My 2 snow bunnies...

And this is by far my most favorite picture of the day... Baby H!

Happy Turkey day...

a little late! I am so far behind on post so bare with me. For Thanksgiving as tradition, we packed up the boys and invaded The Pinti's in West Viriginia. Mike's Aunt Pam and Uncle Joe are always so welcoming of us and our gang. It was a great weekend. We ate, ate, and ate some more. We shopped til we dropped and then came back to eat some more. It was so nice to visit with the Pinti family. Thanks toJoe and Pam for housing our crazy crew! It was busy that I forgot to take pictures... can you hardly believe that?!?!? Here are just a couple I shot on Thanksgiving day!
