we had a wonderful christmas holiday
we've been shopping
snuggling
drinking hot chocolate
reading
snuggling
watching movies
attending concerts
snuggling
& thoroughly enjoying each others company
well...
with a house full of girls
we're doing the best we can
i've been mia from the blogworld
& have forgotten to turn on my cell
sometimes for days at a time
here are a few
images from our little world
over the last couple weeks
some are dreadfully blurry
which is why
my goal for 2010
is to become well versed in the use of my camera!!
me &the girlies christmas eve
& since we had no one to capture a fam shotdan & the girlies christmas eve
while i'm on christmas eve
i must tell ya
our church rented an enormous facility
in hopes that instead of doing 7 christmas eve services
as they did last year
they could provide one
fabulous
beautiful
service where we could all worship together
plus have room for others..ie , the community to join
i'm here to tell ya
i've never been in a more beautiful
worshipful
christmas eve service
even if i was in a completely full venue
with 8000
yes
8000 others
i was supposed to work that evening
but thankfully another nurse traded with me
spending that service
sitting between my most favorite people in the world
worshipping
was truly my best chirsmtas present
ever
priceless
madi's debut as a cheerleader
ice skating with savannah
watching my fave movieyou've got mail
with my dog brinkley
named after tom hank's dog brinkley
i love to set a cute table
since i stink at indoor shots
i moved a few place settings outside
to photograph
it was way too sunny
but anyway...
no i dont spoil the babythose are not all for her
however
hope to get back in the saddle
howevershe clenched the award
for best reaction post gift opening
-eek....blurry deadgum indoor shot-
tickets for the harlem globetrotters with dad
cuz now she's a baller you know
i have thoroughly enjoyed
popping in on many of my fave bloggers
you , of course
through my google reader
{& even though i haven't left many comments
i have been checking in on everyone}
& seeing so many inspiring
eloquent
new years resolotions
hope to get back in the saddle
myself

Happy 2010!!!
