Christmas Eve

Christmas Eve was another great day filled with lots of family fun...

We started the festivities by celebrating at my Dad's with lunch and gifts.

Grandma Sharon and Grandpa Doug with all the grand kids on my side minus Emmy.

Then we went to the Annual West family Christmas Eve dinner and program. The night would not be complete without acting out the nativity and Brynnley was sooooo thrilled that she finally got to be Mary.

Then it was over to Brandon's parents for Christmas Eve stories and new P.J.'s

Then finally it was time for bed.....

This face just about sums up the kids excitement as we wrestled them to bed!!! Sweet Dreams!!!

Some of my favorite things. . .

Vacations! Relaxing on any warm, sunny beach is my ideal spot.
A clean house that stays clean longer than 2 minutes. Is that really possible?
Trying a new recipe that actually turns out, tastes good, and that the whole family will eat. MIRACLE!
The Changing of the seasons. The first spring picnic in the park. The first summer day at the pool. The first drive to look at the leaves in the fall. And the first winter snowball fight.
The sound of my girls laughing and playing together and the sound of "Mommy I love you."
Finding a really good book that I can't put down for days or nights. (Twilight series anyone?)
Date nights with my hot hubbie. Especially if he plans it and arranges the babysitter.
Girls nights out. Catching up with girlfriends or sisters is a treasured experience.
Sleeping in on the weekends while Brandon gets up with the kids. What a great guy?
Feeling energized (more like sore) after a tough workout.
Finding a new cute outfit for a great price. Can you say bargain shopper?
Freshly baked chocolate chip cookies and any other baked goods.
