Merry Christmas

Hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas!!

As I'm sitting here looking at the living room wondering where are we going to put all this??? Our kids are for sure blessed with aunts, uncles, grandparents and great-grandparents to spoil them rotten. I was so happy and proud of Lauren and Colton they were so happy and thankful with each present they opened (even the clothes!!).

This would have been our Christmas card had I made it to the post-office.  I think this is the first year I haven't sent a card! I will have to do better next year!!

I was very fortunate to get to spend the Christmas season with my family and now I will be getting to bring in the New Year with my ER family!!

Hope everyone has a wonderful and safe holiday!!

Congratulations Graduate!

I promised NO facebook!!

It seemed like yesterday he was walking across the stage

at his high school graduation.  Time seems to fly by!!

It only took 4 years!!!!

Cole and I went Christmas shopping yesterday! Which is not Cole's favorite thing to do by any means!! You will hear him in the very first store saying...."Mom, I want to go home" or "Mom, I'm done shopping" or "I'm thirsty and hungry" and it doesn't matter if we just ate!!! Thank goodness Mike picked him up shortly after we started BUT NOT BEFORE..........................

As we were walking down the mall, we passed Santa. Santa was sitting there all alone and Cole was waving to him from afar as he does every year. So again this year I asked Cole if he would like to go see Santa. I about fell over when he said, "Yes!!" and took off. He walked right up to him and sat on his lap. I could not believe it!! Of course I didn't have my camera and didn't think twice about paying the $20 bucks to capture this first for Cole!!

Cole told Santa that he only wanted one thing a Rocky the Robot Truck.  I had no idea what this was until I googled it a couple of minutes ago. We will definitely have to make sure Santa finds it!!!

So here is Cole's first picture with Santa

and it only took 4 years!!

so proud of him!!
