All 5 Senses.

I have a fascination with the month of December. I want to hug it. Kiss it. Smell it. Pinch it.

This year I did just that. I tried my hardest to just focus on my family and creating memories.

Note: The boys got Christmas pj’s very early in the month and they loved wearing them ALL THE TIME. I promise they were washed frequently.

We started by picking out just the perfect tree for our family.

Decking it.

Baking. A lot of baking.

These are the best sous chefs ever. 

Christmas dinners. Christmas shows.

Visiting with St. Nick. Lukas made that sweater at preschool from his hands and feet, isn’t it adorable?

Gingerbread house making.

 

Family pictures.

   

Christmas Eve dinners, including Mom’s famous RECADO.

 

Followed by a game of Chalupa, which Lukas was great at. He won $9.00. Conversation went as follows:

I’m so rich. I won .90 cents. No, Lukas you won $9.00. WHAT. Oh yeah baby! I’m going to JAMAICA.

He asked if I’d drive him.

 

After opening presents Christmas morning we did our usual trip to Raleigh. On the way there it started snowing. It snowed from about 7pm Christmas day until about noon-ish the next. It was crazy. My 1st EVER WHITE CHRISTMAS. The kids were in heaven, ok, we were all in the whitest Heaven. We spent days outside playing. I went sledding for the 1st time ever.

We bundled up.   

We did some serious snowball fighting. 

I’m a beach girl. I don’t have the “right” snow attire. So we layered and layered and put on the most random of clothing items.

  

The boys face planted A WHOLE LOT. 

CHRISTMAS 2010 YOU ROCKED!!!
