Wearing Their Matching Outfits From Grandma

This is what 88 Star Wars guys looks like! He used some of his Christmas money and now has 90!

Showing Daddy the Glass Making House of 1608 that Troy and I stumbled upon while walking a trail to kill time while Rosalie was at camp over the Summer.

She insists on eating with her foot up, always!

New Years Eve- killing time with a bike ride

Grumpy since he couldn't find his helmet, he couldn't ride his bike down the road and had to walk with his parents.

Counting Down Until The New Year Again. Popping surprise filled balloons on each hour.

I Dare You To Not Laugh....

She almost made it! Fell asleep at 11:30

Happy New Year!!!

New Years Day

It's funny because she screams when we put her in her car seat to go anywhere, but when we are home she loves to play in it.

When we don't travel for breaks we try to plan something fun to do in Virginia. Today, we went to Fredericksburg. It was a great time. We didn't get to go to the Apothecary like we wanted, but we did see the Confederate Graveyard and the slave auction block, among many cool stores.

Playing with Troy

The name of this Tattoo parlor cracks me up.

"You'll shoot your eye out!" Great Christmas Story display.

Tootsie

Our poor cat, Tootsie, developed a fast growing oral tumor which resulted in us having to have her put to sleep. While she never really took to Angelo or the kids, it is still very sad to lose her, especially after we have had her for 10 years. Luckily it happened the Monday before Christmas so the kids had many distractions from it. RIP Tootsie.

This has been one of our best Christmases yet! The kids are at such fun ages and it was Cici's first Christmas. The kids absolutely loved all of their gifts and are so thankful.

With Their Stockings

Cici Loves This Princess Toy Santa Brought Her

The Boys Watching Star Wars Rebels

Rosalie with her new field hockey stick that Santa brought her.

This is one of Troy's favorite gifts! His state flags, all 50 plus one for D.C.

I hope Cici grows to love field hockey too!

Since we don't get to see family on Christmas we space presents from relatives out so it becomes an all day event.

Cici relaxing on Troy's new body pillow

In Her New Outfit

Peepa made this to display Troy's helmets with wood from Uncle Rick's forest!

Looking Through Their New Microscope And Hoping For A Clear Night Tomorrow To Use Their New Telescope.

Troy and Daddy set up the state flags where they would be located on a map.

Cici is so cute dancing with this Elmo

Such a great Christmas!

Santa left these for the kids.

She loves the Elsa hat from Aunt Trish, the funny thing is how it blends right in with her hair color.

We had a great Christmas Eve and the kids did great in their Nativity play at church. Unfortunately, I just got video, no pictures. Troy was a king and Rosalie was the Star Angel. It was adorable. I am so excited for the morning though! Santa came and the kids are going to love it!

Sprinkling Reindeer food and magic to help them fly around the yard.

Troy's friend, Addison, had a Christmas party with a guest appearance from Santa Claus! The kids had so much fun, between the hot chocolate bar, Christmas charades, and they got to hit Santa with southern snowballs. (tissue paper.)

Troy absolutely loves what Santa gave him.

They did a Nativity play at Rosalie's preschool and she was Mary! She did such a great job and is really going to miss school these next two weeks.

Rosalie with her two teachers, Ms. Suzie and Ms. Shell.

Rosalie With Her Friends

She's not fully walking everywhere, but does often take 1 or 2 steps.

A family game of Wii Bowling, I don't think the head wrap helped Troy's game.

Christmas With Kellie and Brian

We had Christmas with Kellie and Brian and they asked all of us to be in their wedding, we are so honored. Kellie asked me to be her Maid of Honor, Troy the Ring Bearer, Rosalie and Cici Flower Girls, and Angelo a Groomsmen. We are so honored to help them on their day!
