A Few Holiday Highlights

We had a very nice Christmas this year!!

Tim and I drove to West Virginia to visit my family and left shortly after dinner time the evening prior to Christmas Eve. These days, our travels to distances that are greater than one hour are made during Dustin's nap time or bedtime. Otherwise, I am afraid that we'd have a screaming Little Man for the entire trip!

Dustin seemed to enjoy spending time with his cousins. He played and played and played...never wanting to sleep or to be removed from the action!

In the photo below, he is traveling with a new tube of little peoples. He likes his little people!
This next photo shows him checking out Presley on Christmas morning. He sure loved Presley's play keyboard with a working toy microphone! He played with that toy for hours straight. I have tried to locate one since we returned home. Unfortunately, they are exclusively made for Babies R Us and the toy is sold out on the store and on line!


Little Man opening his presents:






Little Man playing with a cord. I'm not certain to what this cord was connected, but he loves any and all cords! (Such a boy!)



My mom's Christmas tree, in color...


and in black and white.



Tim and Dustin--playing with the remote to the PlayStation game.



A few of the baked goods that I made this year. I made several batches of sugar cookies, some cake balls, some chex mix and a delectable cheesecake for which I will soon post the recipe!





Grandma and Grandpa with the grand kids:



Tim, Dustin, me and Jackson -- Christmas 2010!



We hope that you and your family had a Very Merry Christmas and a joyous New Year! We loved celebrating the birth of the Baby Jesus who gave us the greatest gift of all--LIFE!!
