Christmas Vacation

Well, it wasn't my intention, but I took a long blogging break due to Christmas. See, my niece Izzy Monster arrived and I went home to visit. However, I stayed for 5 days.

My last morning with her

Let's be honest, she looks like an angel, but I'm positive will be trouble when bigger!!

She is a little hard to leave, but that trip put me WAY behind on Christmas presents and cards. I managed to get the cards out the weekend before Christmas and finished my presents on Christmas Day before spending the weekend after Christmas to celebrate the holiday. It was a great weekend spent with lots of family so here are some photos to remember it by.

First picture of the 3 of us

Grandpa and Mike...probably talking soccer

Will holding Izzy Monster. Now those two will be trouble together!!

Sleep deprived new parents

Granny (aka Baby Snatcher!!) with Isabella. Yep, she snatches that baby right out of your arms when you are not looking!!

Not a true Christmas if Grandpa isn't sleeping on the floor snoring! Oh, and the snoring is heard from the other room!

Great-Grammy spoiling Isabella

Kelly (Trouble) and Will (Double Trouble). How are they so big? I use to take their pictures at Christmas...yikes!!

Not a good holiday if I'm not taking a nap!!

So much fun that I spent New Year's Eve sleeping on my couch, sick with a cold. However, my cold helped me to put my Apple TV (Christmas present) to good use and now I'm completely ready for the new season of Downton Abbey!

Happy Holidays!!
