>The family. We were a strange little band of characters trudging through life sharing diseases and toothpaste, coveting one another's desserts, hiding shampoo, borrowing money, locking each other out of our rooms, inflicting pain and kissing to heal it in the same instant, loving, laughing, defending, and trying to figure out the common thread that bound us all together. ~Erma Bombeck<

Christmas Pix

Dominick (my brother) tickling Kaylin - she was eatin' the attention up!
Kaylin, Isabelaa and Thor peering through the railing at Great Grandma Marion's on Christmas Day

We also stopped by my Granmothers house on Christmas Day - It's rare that we have a photo opportunity of all the grandkids with her - Myself, Brian, Isabella, Brian, Kaylin, Dominick (my bro.), My Grandma Grace, Gianna (my sis.) Don (my bro.), and Heather (my sis.). She is doing pretty well as of right now, but that day, she didn't look so hot... I am so glad she's better now!

Grandma Cathy finding out she's going to have another grandbaby - we wrapped up some yarn with a note that said "better get crackin' you've only got until August!".

To tell my mom, we wrapped up a Christmas Ornament that had the girls names on them + baby. Took a second, but this is when she figured it out!

This picture is from the first time we went sledding (beg. of Jan. I think). It cracks me up everytime I look at this, she was so ticked off that she could barely fit in her seat with all her sledding stuff on, she would just glare at us all... !


The kids sipping "champagne" on new years eve. We did our countdown and celebrating ringing in the new year that night a little early (around 8:45 or so!) - the thought of keeping the kids up until midnight sounded like torture!


For their birthday/christmas gifts, I got my sisters tickets to see Blue Man group the weekend after Christmas. It was alot of fun - and I think this was the first time ever that we all went out as sisters, without the kids!
