Christmas 2009

Merry Christmas to all of our blog readers and fans! 🙂 I thought I’d share some of my favorite Christmas photos from our family events this year…here’s my sister Leah, who was super excited about the Burberry perfume and huge make-up case we bought her…yep, she’s a diva at heart 🙂

Dad loving on my other sister, Mary…I can’t believe she’s heading off to college next year. Wow, I feel old. LOL!

Every year we order a peppermint cake from Ilene at Classic Cakes…YUM!!!

They did such a great job decorating it and it tasted as good as it looked!

Right before my mom cooked the ham and baked beans, Buddy was hanging out with us and sniffing the can of beans on the counter and we all realized at the same time that he looks JUST like the Bush’s baked beans dog!! LOL “Roll that beautiful bean footage!” 😉

Buddy is almost as tall as my mom! LOL He wore his new Santa suit almost all day, it was so cute!

Like father, like son 🙂

Every year my grandma would put together an awesome stocking filled with goodies for me & my mom…we always looked forward to our stockings. This was our first Christmas without my grandma & we missed her terribly. 🙁 My grandpa surprised both of us by making stockings with our names on it and filling it with goodies, just like grandma used to do. We couldn’t believe it, he even glittered our names on them! It meant so much to us and it was definitely my favorite Christmas memory this year. 🙂

“Santa kitty” visits our home every year and this year, he left lots of new toys and treats for our furbabies! Ben was trying to figure out if this one was alive or not. LOL!

Mr. Wiggles didn’t want to have anything to do with his new mouse toy…he was like “Seriously? That’s gross!” It’s so funny to see all of their different personalities come out when you give them new toys.
