Now or Never

I will be honest... I'm not in love with 2011... but because 2010 ended on a good note with Christmas being so fun, I thought I better jot down the memories before I get so annoyed with 2011 that I don't write anything. As we've always been taught, if you don't have anything nice to say, don't say it :)

I'm going to start with the present and move back.... Below is a Valentine wreath that Dev, Amy, and I made... MAN did finding the material turn out to be more of a chore than we planned... but I think it ended up being totally worth it. Yes, we are still in January, but as Amy put it(which ended up being my excuse to hang it up before February) "Love is ALWAYS in season" I almost didn't go with the red, for fear that it would clash with the orange door... I could NOT be more thrilled with the outcome. It was such a fun project.


The girls at work... you will notice that I have a heating pad... That would be due to the fact that I have four kidney stones that I'm dealing with inside my body. It has been a ROUGH week and honestly, it doesn't seem to be looking up just yet.... I've been lucky to have a lot of help... but I'll be SO thankful when these annoying stones are gone. I wouldn't wish this on anyone.


It turns out Dax has been on a creative streak as well... he decided to build himself a snowman and name him Frosty. He built Frosty all by himself AND found the tree to steal the stick arms.


This was just a picture of the boys while takin' the picture of Frosty. Don't mind the windows... :)

One of the other blows of this year is that the boys BOTH have pink eye... you can see it in Dax's left eye but not so well in Dubby's... you can see that his left eye is swollen, but you should see how pink it is... it was quite the adventure heading to the doctor on pain killers. Thanks to my Mom for driving us over.


Now on to the happy memories... Nina gave the boys "Santa Dust" to put on the side walk so that Santa could find his way to the door in the fog... they LOVED it... it was so fun and is a new tradition for sure.




Dax got what he wanted! He wanted a helicopter SO badly... lucky for him, one of these helicopters has been on his wish list for years so it made it a great gift for both of them.

Dubby got a computer so he can help me "dedit" my pictures :)




The boys playin' with all the new toys!


They raked it in for sure. It was a great Christmas!
