Christmas Review....

Someone has told me several times recently {aka Danielle} That I am not keeping up with my blog.

Which is true.

 So starting of a New Year, a few days early, I am going to be more regular with posts {Also no more Credit Card Dept & get the house organized}

Okay, back to The Christmas Review.

This is the 1st year we had to hide the gifts & hide them good. Christmas Eve everyone {aka our 4 minis} went to sleep well, except for Sterling {surprise, surprise} Once we finally he was asleep we went to work like the busy elves we are. Putting together, taking out of boxes & setting the stage...so it was perfect for when they would 1st look over the loft wall in the morning.

The morning was amazing. Smiles, laughter..memories being made. As a parent that is all you are trying to do, making amazing memories they will remember for ever. It was a success.




Grandma & Grandpa might just be better then Santa. We are {blessed} that they are in our lives, they made our Children's Christmas, simply amazing.

Around 2pm we hit the road for Cleveland.

13 cousins 4 weeks to 8 years. Making Memories.


Caught this when no one was looking.


Sister in laws. We are kind of...amazing.




So if you ask my kids, I am sure they will tell you....Christmas was amazing. We are blessed with a wonderful family & made memories we hope they will remember always.

O Holy Night! The stars are brightly shining.....

It has been a long time since my last blog. A long, long time. Pumpkins were my last topic!

It the last 2 months have been my busiest selling months of the year. I am 'oh so tired' & ready for the upcoming holiday spent with my mini me's!

The house is decorated, the presents are bought & now the Christmas programs have begun!

Today Mark took the morning off. The 2 of us drove all 4 kids to school. We dropped off Ellen, then drove to preschool. In we walked Grace, Sterling & Ruby to MMO. We did our duty in the carpool line, ran an errand & surprised Ellen at her school by taking her into her library book fair. Then it happened. We drove to the Preschool Christmas performance, sat down in the row & were able to watch a show just Mark & I. It was wonderful. We had no kids with us, as they were all in school. We did not have to remove anyone because they were talking or crying. We got to enjoy & listen to our beautiful children sing with their classes & it was bliss.
