Extended Christmas!

The Wonderful World of Disney

Mom and dad took my whole entire family on a trip to Disneyland this year for Christmas and boy, oh boy, what fun we had!!  The downside was that it was the SINGLE MOST BUSY WEEK OF THE YEAR for Disneyland, but the incredible upside was the opportunity to spend time with my siblings.  I hadn't seen my sis in 2.5 years...WAY TOO LONG...and I thoroughly enjoyed catching up with her.  I got to spend time with my adorable nieces and nephews, and even got Jane to eat some chicken nuggets and grow about 6 inches!!!  OK-so you had to be there for that one...

I got to love on Anna, and watch my youngest brother go on rides that completely terrified him.  I got to laugh with my sis-in-laws and loved watching my mom and dad spend time with each one of the grandchildren. 

I can't even express the love and admiration I have for my parents.  They are so good to my siblings and I, and go out of their way to make sure we know that they are here for us, and that they love us unconditionally.  They are truly amazing, and planned a wonderful three day reunion for us to grow closer and develop deeper relationships with each other.  Thank you, mom and dad, from the bottom of my heart.  I am so blessed to have you as my parents, and as my children's grandparents.  I love you!!

Christmas Morning 2011

We had such a fun Christmas this year!  I think that Santa was extremely successful in bringing all the naughty, ahem, I mean  nice  Lewis children fun surprises!  He brought them things they wanted, and things they didn't know they wanted until they got them.  I'm sure Apple--oops--I mean SANTA is happy that we're keeping them {him} in business!!

The biggest surprise, however, was a trip to DISNEYLAND, courtesy of Grandma and Grandpa H!!!

Happy Birthday Ty!!!

It's official!!!  There's ANOTHER teenager in the Lewis home! 

 Happy 13th Birthday Ty!

I Love You!!

Dear Santa...

Oh, how I love this little boy!!

Christmas Traditions

Today I spent the day making delicious carmel apples.  Kevin always gives them to his employees, and I usually give some to our neighbors.  This year I also made some homemade dark chocolate truffles that I passed out to my book club gals.  They were yummy...well, at least I thought they were!!

Say Cheese!!
