Pictures of the festivities...

Here are just a few of the many pictures I took over the holidays. It was so wonderful to spend time with at my sister-in-law's and to see all the kids together enjoying the good food and fun times. It warmed my heart to see my Mom with all her kiddies and grandkids and I even got some one on one time with my nephew. He's at such a fun age (he just turned one)for me. Everything you show him just fascinates him. We must have played at the faucet for 15 minutes and I'm sure he could have done it for many more. I loved seeing my SIL and my brothers for more than an hour or so.

The leopard snuggies were their gag gift this year

Someone was really tuckered out by all the excitement of the day


I received really neat light up twigs from my Mom for Christmas and I was trying to find a way to display them all year round. I had a really big vase and some rocks that were left over centerpieces from my brother's wedding, so I decided to see how that would look. I must say that I rather like the way it turned out (minus the cords showing), what do you think?
