Christmas Memories...

It seems in the blink of an eye Christmas comes and goes.  This year was no different but while the time went quickly, there were no shortage of memories created.

Below are some of my favorite memories from Christmas 2013....

Isabelle "helping" mommy make sugar cookies (don't worry no cookies were contaminated in the making process)

There finger looking good Mommy!

The boy's annual ornament making.... Gabriel made Raven's ornaments while Michael perfected his Cowboy ones!

Michael enjoys making Christmas decorations.  Here he is at another holiday party creating a masterpiece!

The annual  Santa photo...

At first Belle wasn't sure about Jolly Old Saint Nick, but when we brought out the candy...

She was sold!

Fun times with the cousins!!!!  

Isabelle's fascination with our Christmas trees...

Getting to spend the holidays with Great Grandpa Ray...

Christmas eve notes to Santa begging him to leave gifts and promising to be better next year...

 And funny Christmas requests for Santa....

I'm hoping that Diamond Ring Michael wanted was for mom. :-)

Christmas morning magic...

The kids were ecstatic to receive a Rainbow loom. There was some serious looming going on, from all three kids!  While I now despise all those tiny rubber bands that end up all over our floor, all three kids love the gift.  And I guess its worth having rubber bands all over.  

And finally, some of the best Christmas memories, were not captured in photos, but molded into our hearts to last forever.

Merry Christmas to all...

Until next time,
