A BOY IS

TRUTH with dirt on his face,

BEAUTY with a cut on his finger,

WISDOM with bubble gum in his hair,

and theHOPE of the future with a
frog in his pocket.

LITTLE GIRLS

Little girls are made of daisies and butterflies and soft kitty cat purrs

And all the precious memories of times that once were.

Little girls are made of angel's wings and giggles and a firefly's glow

And all the happy feelings, deep inside, that we all know.

Little girls are made of cinnamon and bubbles and fancy white pearls

And snowflakes and rainbows and ballerina twirls.

Little girls are made of sunshine and cupcakes and fresh morning dew,

And these are the reasons, little one, why everyone loves you.

Merry Christmas...



Christmas was wonderful.

My boys slept until 7:30 and patiently waited while we turned on lights, made hot cocoa and got the camera ready.

Justin was so excited that Santa had come and couldn't wait to rip into it all. But he was very good about asking who gave him what present and saying, how did they know I love transformers, CRAZY! Probably because anyone who would talk to him he would tell them all he wanted was transformers - and by the way all these toys marked 5 and up - Phew! it takes an engineering degree to transfomr them - thanks to Brent's degree that transformed Bumblebee into a camero!

Nic was unlike a normal teenager and was so thankful and happy about all his presents! He was excited about everyone of them, and even the 1 game he already had that he got he was so calm and nice about - because of his awesome attitude we braved the stores and return lines today and switched it for him.

The boys loved Guitar Hero from my sisters and much to my family's dismay I got on the mike and sang Beat It while Justin played drums and Nic the guitar - what FUN! My husband however said Kristi, seriously do you really think you can sing - I just sang louder :)! Justin and Nic also jumped and did all kinds of crazy stuff on outdoor challenge for the wii and we had a hilariusly fun game of dart tag - man those darts with rubber tips smart - but oh so much fun! My sisters send fun gifts, lucky for my boys they don't have any kids to spoil yet so they spoil mine double much!

We had a nice day enjoying our family and talking to family on the phone. After dinner our wonderful friends Brent and Stacey and their girls stopped by to say Merry Chrismas and we shared our dessert with them. A Wonderful end to a Wonderful day.

I hope you all had a Wonderful and Merry Christmas!
