Christmas 2012

I always look forward to Christmas each year and watching the kids open their gifts and spending time with family. This year the holidays took a turn for the worse just a few days before Christmas. We made the best of it but it just was not the same. Without going into too much detail, our nephew Brendan (he is 7) was hospitalized suddenly and it was very serious. We made the best of it but it was so hard to not have him there with us. I am happy to say that after 3 weeks in the hospital, he is back home and he is going to be ok!!!
 
 
Here is our family pic from Christmas Eve at my parents house.
 
 
 
Christmas morning was a hit. Addison loves her first pair of heels!
 
 
What would Christmas morning be for Lucas without some new legos!
 
 
Christmas was special for my nieces Molly and Katy...they got American Girl dolls. Now the 3 girls just love playing with their dolls together.

Now that the holidays are over, the kids are in the swing of things at school. Lucas starts a new season of indoor soccer soon and Addison will be preparing for dance recital at the end of the year soon. I am getting involved with the kids school with helping out with the school auction. Bob and I are running a 12 mile race soon so we have been braving the cold. Things are good but especially good now that our nephew is home and doing well.
