Another Christmas Holiday in the Books...

Boys leave for their ski trip tomorrow. This will be the first year for Number 2 son to go! He asked for ski clothes for Christmas so he can't wait try them out! Our annual Christmas Eve Soup and Sneaky Santa was a blast {as always} We so enjoy having our family and friends around us! We had 26 this year!!

I think you can see us all!! And these gals have been my best gals since moving here.... I'm a lucky girl!!

And she and I may have been friends for only a few years but I feel like I have known her forever!!

And the kiddos all keep getting older...

Christmas morning the boys were looking forward to sleeping in since they get up so early for swim practice they said NO GETTING UP EARLY!! Our gift is SLEEPING IN!! SWEET!!!! So we got up around 9AM!! We had a great time opening gifts...

And then our STEAK DINNER was delicious...

And my FAVORITE TRADITION.... THE STOCKINGS!!!!!

So just a few of the pics and a recap of our Christmas... one day I will scrapbook again and the blog will not be necessary but it's a good resource for the time challenged. I have made a few "resolutions" for 2013... But I have started them early so I can get a jump start. And I have taken a huge step out of my box... We shall see but if God brought it to me HE must think I can do it!! {with His help of course!!} Here's to a BRIGHT NEW YEAR filled with change and Faith in the plans God has in store for our family!!
