MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!!

Santa managed to find our house again this year and the kids were thrilled!!!! After we opened our own presents it was off the Grandma Patty's to open more gifts and have breakfast, then off the Grandma Jackies to open more gifts and have lunch, then back to the Huntsman's for the annual Birrell family Christmas dinner. Let's just say that by the end of the day we were all spoiled rotten and weighed 5 lbs more. Here's to another great Christmas...

Jalinda said...: Wow you've been busy. I woke up to more pics. And I have to agree with Robyn that Brandon's stache looks even funnier captured on film. I forgot how awesome he looked for Christmas eve. Thanks for the good laugh today.; January 7, 2010 at 6:09 AM
Jennifer said...: Oh my gosh! That mustache was gross. I've never seen my cousin with facial hair. . .don't mind the beard, just not the mustache alone. He probably didn't want to be teased at the family party. Glad to see you guys are having fun.; January 7, 2010 at 3:50 PM
RaKell said...: Glad you had a great Christmas! It is always so crazy but fun. Sweet Stache Brandon, I bet you could sell a ton of real estate with that thing or make it in the porn industry? Keri and I were talking and we need to get together again soon!; January 7, 2010 at 6:16 PM

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.
