Ok gang. We made it through another Christmas! This year was a very crazy and fun holiday season for us. Sami, much like last year, was VERY into Christmas and literally was bouncing around the house like a pinball by Christmas Eve! She asked Santa for a Wii, several Webkinz animals, and some books - all of which magically appearred beneath our tree on Christmas morning Here's a couple more Christmas morning shots:
Mom and dad came over with some cinnamon rolls to watch the gift opening madness. After they went home, we had a few hours to play with gifts, make our favorite sweet potato recipe, and get ready for dinner at mom and dad's house.
Over at my folks' house the fun continued. My boyfriend Ray and his son Tyler joined us for the festivities. Here's a few pictures of the family, including one nice shot of all of us (thanks Ray!) Naturally, Sami was making a funny face in the group shot, but that IS her personality after all!
Sami, cousins Alyssa and Michael, and Tyler
Cousin Mackenzie, Michael, Sami and Alyssa - my favorite shot of the day! (thanks to Dana, superphotographer!)
Sam and Tyler (she absolutely ADORES this guy!)
Crazy kid... no, her teeth are NOT that color! - she was drinking orange crush all day!
The whole gang!
In other Holiday news, Sami was in the Nutcracker again this year. Her dance school puts on a fabulous production. This year Sami got to play one of the mice - a role she embodied for several weeks around the house to stay in character!
Here is my little mouse, with a couple of her pals and the "mouse king"
This week we are playing Wii alot, trying to put some order back into my house, and Sami is spending a lot of time play acting with her new Webkin animals and the Ameriscan girl doll grandma got for her! New Years Eve we are making dinner, and hangin here at the house with Ray and Tyler. There will probably be several Wii tournaments, some silly string and a few fireworks on the agenda as well!
I hope you all have had a safe and happy holiday so far, and this post finds you happy and healthy, among those you love!
Happy New Year!
