Merry Christmas & Happy New Year!

A week before Christmas, we got snow! It didn't stick around for a white Christmas but there was a lot of it! Sharon and I took advantage of the storm and finished our shopping. Toys R' Us and the mall were pretty much empty with the exception of a few other crazies.

This was what we saw when we left the mall.

The trees were so pretty.

The only time I've seen that mall parking lot this abandoned
in a long time.

Sharon begging me to unlock the car.

For Christmas this year, my mom and Meemo came to visit. We all had a great time playing with the boys and their new toys. The boys love Nonny and Meemo so much it breaks my heart that they don't get to see them as much as they'd like.

The boys enjoying Christmas Eve dinner at their table.

The best pose I could get from Jackson.
He absolutely would not put his shoes on
the correct feet either.


All ready for Santa to come!


I need to Photoshop these so I can get at
least one picture with all of us smiling.

Another try...

And another try...

Preston opening his first present. We let them open the
presents that Gamme and Paw-Paw sent on Christmas Eve.

Jackson loves his Leapster Explorer.

Preston loves the Move & Play Rampway.

Jackson loves it too. This was the biggest hit this
Christmas. Thanks Marva!

Leaving cookies and milk for Santa, and carrots for his reindeer.

All ready for bed.

Before Santa.

After Santa.

The Cars bike that Jackson told Santa he wanted AFTER I
had already bought everything he told ME he wanted.

Preston's piano mat. Both boys love to be-bop around on it.

Showing off the Wii games he got in his stocking.

He doesn't look very happy with Christmas morning, does he?


Preston playing with Jackson's Dr. Doofenshmirtz and
Jackson playing with Preston's trains.

Preston and Nonny.

Opening presents!

Now THAT is worth showing off! Well, maybe not this year.
Hopefully next season he can wear it with pride.

Brother shot.

Playing with Dance Star Mickey.

For NYE we had some friends over for a quiet night. On the first, we travelled to Santa Fe to attend the Inaugural Ball for our new Governor, Susana Martinez. We stayed at Buffalo Thunder Casino & Resort and Scott won at Blackjack too! Sadly, I did not. At least he won enough to more than make up for my losses. Win or lose, we still had a great time!

Everyone had camera issues so we only had camera phones :(
