Christmas!!

We had a wonderful Christmas this year! I managed to get everything accomplished-it always seems to work-out! We spent Christmas Eve at Katie and Brian's. We fed the kids early and then put them to bed. After they were in bed, we were able to enjoy an "adult only" dinner and it was wonderful without any distractions! We had our traditional Italian dinner with spaghetti and meatballs and it tasted so yummy! We were planning on playing games too, but Miss Lindsey had other plans for us, so we decided to pack her up and head home.

On Christmas Day, the whole family was over for breakfast and presents. We had a nice morning that last for quite awhile. We were in no hurry and enjoying this, because we all know that this is not how it is going to be for too many more years. Later, we had the traditional Christmas dinner with ham and funeral potatoes. It was so nice to be able to spend Christmas together as a family this year! We did miss having David and Natalie here with us! Hopefully, in 2 more years they can join!

Lindsey getting a "horsey ride" from PaPa on Christmas Eve


My parent's gave Lindsey a rocking chair and she loves to sit in it and read her books or rock her babies to sleep....


"The Horse" Lindsey and Alli loved this horse. They fought over it just a few times!


Cute Nick....notice the cars in his hands, he never let go of them, even to open presents!


Here is the princess on her horse. She managed to get up on her horse all by herself even with a book in her hands today! It was pretty amazing and then she was managing to rock and read at the same time with no hands. That is talent!

Too Cute!!

While I was getting food ready for Christmas Eve dinner, Russ decided to take Lindsey outside to play in the snow. The first time I tried to put the whole snowsuit on Lindsey screamed bloody murder and then refused to wear even the jacket after that for a very long time. I guess she doesn't mind the whole outfit now! Russ and I couldn't laugh enough, it was too cute!!

Someday I will have some time...

....to sit down and blog and post some pictures that I haven't even taken yet! I am really wishing I could have enjoyed this Christmas season a little more, but I seriously have been crazy busy!! Lindsey has this adorable sweater dress that is red and I just realized that I haven't taken any pictures of her in it. I am on #5 of 6 days working right now and am actually having a "slow" point, so that is why I have time to do a quick post. I will be working tomorrow-these patients just are not leaving the hospital like I would like them to. I was really hoping for another day to try and get everything set prior to Christmas, but it looks like Christmas Eve will just have to be the one and only day to get EVERYTHING done!! I really just want to enjoy one Holiday this year, since I ended up working on Thanksgiving!! Don't worry, I am just feeling sorry for my crazy life! Someday I will have some time, right???
