Merry Christmas 2011

What a fun holiday season this year. Christmas programs, parties, presents, friends, family...it was a good one. Brooklyn & Jace were very excited about Santa coming this year, and they enjoyed presents (of course).

I had Christmas Eve dinner with Eric's fam...the cook left a special message. The food was definitely better than his spelling :)

The Martinez cousins came over to celebrate with us.

I didn't get many Christmas presents this year but I still felt like I was spoiled. Just having these two little blessings to share the holidays with makes everything so special and so fulfilled. As we all find our way trying to work through lifes changes, creating Christmas memories with them is very important to me. Somewhat challenging "sharing" them during such a special time of year has proved to be slightly emotional for me but I think we are all getting along pretty well. These two little sweethearts are very happy and loving kids...and that is what matters most.
