Christmas Fun with the little ones

This year has been a busy one. We finished off the semester and are busy working on our Grad School Portfolios.

This is our little 14" tree. I made it when I was 10 years old and it would sit on my window seat in my growing up bedroom. When Dugan and I don't feel like we have the time or money to do a big tree. My mother brings me my little tree. Every year Dugan and I get an ornament. Mine is the Barbie shoe and his is the "Where the Wild Things Are" Book. With the gifts for our nieces and nephews.

Here is our burning fireplace with our Christmas tree.

Colbert is very cute in his little Santa PJ's.

It also looks like he is having fun with his gift from Dugan and I.
Here is my best pal Emma helping make homemade Cinnamon Rolls.
I took these next few pic from my sisters blog because I don't have the pic we took on Sunday while celebrating Christmas at my parents home.

I have recently learned the love Liam has for water. I think he was sad when mommy said that they couldn't fell up the pool because it is snowing.
This pic was from when my sis and her family went to get there Christmas tree. but I just love Liam in this pic. He is so cute.
We haven't seen this two little ones for a few weeks but Katie and Jimmy are also very important to us.

We are so Lucky to have such Sweet little ones in our life that we can share Christmas with. We are also go blessed to have our wonderful Friends and Family that share there little ones with us.

SCHOOL IS OUT.... Love, Joy and Comfort is IN

Dugan and I took our last final on Wednesday. We have been up to school on Thursday and Friday documenting things and cleaning up but no stress there. We have had the most wonderful past few days. Yesterday I made breakfast, lunch and dinner and they were all eaten in the comfort of our OWN home. We cuddled on the couch with the fireplace burning and watched a movie. We went to bed just after ten. This morning we stayed in bed watching Julie and Julia till Noon. Then we went to Breakfast at this fun little local diner. Then went by the school to take a few more pictures of our models. D went to work for a few hours and I went Christmas shopping. Then we came home and had dinner and I wrapped a few presents. We are now seating together on the couch with the fireplace burning and about to have some hot chocolate. This really is the life. We still have lots to to do on our Grad school portfolio's, but we will work on them starting next week. We are totally in Love and are enjoying our wonderful break.
