I am way behind on posting and am doing so little by little. So please be patient as I try to get caught up!

Christmas With Mamaw and Papaw 2010

Traditionally, we spend the night at my mom and Jim's on Christmas Eve and awake to surprises from Santa. This year was no different.

On Christmas Eve, Mamaw. Lizzie and Jake get ready to spread the "Reindeer Food."

And what exciting Christmas day would complete without a "cousin sleepover" with popcorn and a movie at Mamaw's house?

Christmas with Grandma and Grandpa Genius 2010

We celebrated Christmas with my Dad and Karen on Christmas Eve. We had a nice day of visiting, opening gifts, eating and playing games.

Playing with Cousins

One of the fun parts of Christmas break is getting to spend time playing with cousins. I am pleasantly surprised at how well they all get along.

The kids also had a great time with their cousin Ben. Unfortunately our hard drive crashed and I lost all the pictures of their time with us!

Snow. . .snow. . . snow

We have enjoyed the snow we have been getting this winter. From making snow angels to building snowmen to sledding - it has been fun! I can honestly say that I don't think there is anything more fun to hear that the giggles of my children as they enjoy life. This winter has been full of those giggles!
