Christmas Stuff

Just wanted to share some pictures from Christmas. This is not one of my favorite holidays to photograph. I can never really get pictures that I LOVE and not much has changed as far as that goes this year. They are "ok" but nothing "great" Anyway~ I share with you... guess who? yup... Andrew, Kaleb and Ella. Oh and one picture of Emma.

Andrew & Ella checking out her new Baby Einstein book.

Kaleb got a new camo jacket from Cablea's just like Daddy and Poppy!

Ella got a new kitchen... she loved playing with all her new utensils.

just wanted to share this one because it makes me smile!

played with this one a little... and i like it!

Finally~ I leave you with my girl... miss Emma. when no one else will listen to me... she does! love her!

Today......... I'm 31

It's hard to believe but yet another year has passed and now I'm looking @ my 31st Birthday! So today I've been thinking about my life and where I am at this point... to my surprise I'm totally in a GOOD place. I don't really have any complaints and I have TONS to be greatful for... actually I'm feeling pretty darn lucky at this point.

First, I have this great boy that I get to call MINE, ALL MINE! I don't have to share him with anyone... well okay maybe with my mom & dad... and not to mention Kaleb might have something to say about me not sharing Andrew since Kaleb seriously idolizes that kid. Regardless~ I think he's a pretty cool kid and I'm pretty proud that I get to take credit for him.

Second, I have an amazing family... I know everyone has amazing families too, but for me I'm not exactly the easiest person to deal with and my family is just fine with that. They love me for me and theres no in between! I'm not sure what I would do without my sister, my brother-in-law (whom I prefer to call my brother, but I guess that would be weird since he's married to my sister!) and my Mom & Dad~ I'm sure I make them crazy but they are always there for me... and Andrew.

I could totally go on and on...so one last thing... okay maybe two more things. First, those godchildren of mine... boy have they changed who I am. I can't imagine life without them~ It's actually hard to remember life before them. They've changed me in so many ways and i wouldn't change one thing about them! Lastly, my buddy Kimmy Chang! She's the best~ she's the one person (that's not family) that I never get tired of. I can simply be myself with her... she's my person! (ok, so Bill is my person too but who's counting. can you really have too many people?)

So, Happy Birthday to me... and thanks for reading all my mushy blabber!
