I know I'm a little behind posting about Christmas, when most people have moved on to Valentines day. Truthfully I hate it when Christmas is over. I just love that time of year, I feel like the world is a little kinder, and family comes closer....and to be quite honest I love to shop and decorate.
My camera has been causing me some problems...thought I was going to have to bust out the manual...or get a new one. Turns out as usual with most of my electronic problems it was..."human stupidity...error!"
Christmas was a lot of fun this year with Sidney. She understood the whole concept of Santa, and giving and sharing.....and loved to sing jingle bells. Every weekend she asked me....and for that matter still asks me..."we go shoppin momma?" She got to see our first white Christmas...in a very long time. She loved the snow...it was so beautiful! Didn't get to take many pictures on Christmas day, Just a couple when she woke up. She had been sick the week before Christmas and still a little sick during. Spent Christmas morning with Sidney and Chris...we cooked breakfast and watched Sidney play with her toys. I think she was kinda confused as to why none of the presents under the tree were not wrapped...that confused her seeing as everything she had gotten up to this point had been wrapped! This was a point of con tension in my house this year. When I was a child gifts from Santa were NEVER wrapped, where as Chris's childhood Santa gifts came wrapped!? Well, seeing as I was pretty much Santa and do all the wrapping...my way won! ha!
We want to personally thank EVERYONE for the wonderful gifts we received, we are truly blessed....I know that we live in hard times now, yet I truly appreciate everyone who is so kind to my daughter! I know that child will never go with out! She loves all her toys..just come over and look at our house! Thank you to my husbands family...who makes me feel like I'm one of their own.....I think some of them would actually keep me over him! (just kidding!)
Christmas EVE....I had no idea it was snowing...or was supposed to snow! Chris went outside to put some trash out and said....." I think its Snowing!?"


Some of Sid's loot from Santa!


She's a little strange when I was a child my brother and I would have already had everything torn open, and everywhere. She was just looking... trying to take it all in!



HA! She looks thrilled...right!










Couple of days after Xmas trying to get her on her trike!







But wanting to help Daddy sweep instead!







Couple of after x-mas purchases. I normally never shop after x-mas, because I'm broke! But I got a gift card to Hobby Lobby...and went after x-mas. It was the best.....I got so much stuff! Everything I purchased was 80% off.

















This wrapping paper...which is soooo pretty, normally eight dollars....I got them all for a dollar! well a dollar each I mean! LOVE wrapping paper!!










These pretty curly cue bows.... 60. cents!
