This is just a few images of our 2010 Christmas. It was a nice Christmas once more at home. We were lucky again to have more snow on the ground this Chritmas which was a nice extra treat. I do have to say it was little sad knowing Angie no longer believes in the big jolly man in the red suit. That was hard. We didn't even put cookies out and a carrot for the reindeer. I guess that's what happens when the kids grow up. I always enjoy Christmas, but Christmas 2011 will be special knowing my family will finally join us. I think I'm gonna cry if I think about it too much. I miss them the most on Christmas and my Birthday. It will be so much fun to go help my mom decorate her new home for Christmas and shop with her and well just drinking hot coco and being with her. I've made my mind up that Christmas 2011 I will go back to my old ways when I was a stay home mom when I would start preping for Christmas in the spring just because it was the only way we could afford it. Then too I use to make a lot of home made gifts just cause I had more time then money. Now it's funny every body wants my home made gifts. Which always makes me feel so good. I just remember how much time I had to enjoy the month of December cause all I had to do was decorate the house and spend time with the kids. With the kids getting bigger and my folks being here I feel even more motivated to go back to starting my old ways.

I just think waiting tell Oct. just isn't enough time to really enjoy the holidays. Plus I think I'm going to come up with some new traditions to do with my big kids now and my folks. Why not right! Christmas is a great holiday to do so. I think we should do a little winter road trip to the Mountains during the kids winter break too, and finally teach the kids how to ski. Now that John has a new fancy truck why not! Anyway... this Christmas was nice and the kids seemed to enjoy the holidays. Now I need to look forward to another great Christmas.

That's all for now I'll catch again soon.
