Sleeping beauty...I mean...sleeping handsome?

Why can kids fall asleep anywhere? Why can't I fall asleep while at the computer or at the dinner table and that be okay? The beauty of being a child! Andrew here fell asleep right at his door. My little angel.

Blue eyes melt my heart...

This is my step sister, Laura's, son Matthew Jr. and he just has me wrapped around his little pinkie. They came over Christmas day and I couldn't stop taking pictures of him.Here is Mattie with his Grandma Helen.
Why do the boys always get the beautiful long lashes!?

Christmas morning and New Years Eve

Christmas Morning
Who needs an alarm clock when you have kids, right?! :) Caleb could hardly sleep all night. He woke up at 1am (yes you read that right!) and went and watched TV (little did I know of course in my blissful sleep). He went back to bed and was kind enough to wait until 6:30am to wake us up. After everyone was at least half awake and dressed we started with gifts at almost 8am. What a looooong wait for excited little boys! We were lucky this year to have my dad and Helen and David with us this year. We enjoyed the morning very much!New Year's Eve
We had a fun filled night with games, food, balloons, confetti and hats!

Some of us at the strike of midnight were in a blissful slumber....
Others were trying with all their might to wake for that exciting last 10 seconds...
Others awoke with motivation from poppers sounding through the house and wanted to join in...
And then there was the group that managed to make it all the way to the very end and still had energy to spare!
Happy New Year!!
