A Wonderful Holiday!

Awww....Christmas finally came and was wonderful! Aside from everyone being sick (but it sounds like everyone was sick this year!) we had a great Christmas! We enjoyed visiting with family that we don't often see (thank you blogger for keeping us connected!). And I enjoyed being a kid again on Christmas Eve and playing the fun kid games and being excited for Santa to come! We spent Christmas Eve this year with the Johnson Clan and we had so much fun! All the kids got new Christmas PJ's and Simon was so excited to get them on!
Christmas morning was spent at home where Santa could be sure to find us (and boy did he!). Simon ran right past all his gifts to look out the window to see if he could see Santa. My mom and dad came over Christmas morning to see what Santa brought. It was so great to not worry about work and to just enjoy the day. I wish I could say the same for Cody though....he was pretty dang sick on Christmas Day and has been sick since! Poor guy! I finally got sick on the day after Christmas and have been sick ever since as well.....so it hasn't really been a fun weekend! Anyway, here are just a few of the many many many pics that I took. And seeing as how my cough medicine has just now kicked in it will be wise for me to end this post! Nothing good ever comes from "drunk blogging!" Hope you all had a great Holiday Season!

Simon and Sienna....innocent? I think not!

Simon definatly did not win the candy bar sleigh race....but you would never know it by this pic!

Just for Fun!



Just playing with "picnik" for a little while. OK, like for a couple hours! It's so addicting!

Some Holiday Moments

So tonight was moms anual "Lighting Ceremony" Christmas Party. It's probably one of my favorite events of the year! I can't believe our family is actually getting big enough that we can have our own Christmas party without joining up with cousins and such (I don't mean that to sound bad....I love the cousins party too!). Simon had so much fun and as always is attached to Sid at the hip!! We had yummy dinner and than made gingerbread houses.
Here is Simon displaying his work of art! Don't mind the "bowl hat". Weirdo!

My mom's tree this year is a must see! Apparently she asked my dad to help decorate the tree and this is his idea of decorating! The picture really doesn't do it justice! Knowing my mom she will keep it up this way all season just to prove a point!
Santa visited the mall again this year and Simon got to give him his wish list (which consisted of "a toy"....that's what he told Santa he wanted!).


And he got these wonderfully cute Christmas socks in the mail from my Grandma Downs. He freaking loves them!!!! Can you see how excited he is???


Hope you all are having a fun Holiday season so far!!!
