Christmas...2012

Yup, Christmas/Mommy FAIL.  I have officially put off downloading our Christmas pics from Christmas 2012 for a full year now.  And people wonder why I don't ever use my big camera!!!!  Sheer laziness? :)

Anyway, I am going to upload the pics here, and upload them back in 2012 too because if I ever look back years from now I don't want to feel like the worst mother ever!  So here we go…5 days from Christmas, and why don't we take a trip down memory lane?! :)

A few days before Christmas, we went to Breakfast with Santa at school…someone was a little bit excited!

Such a sweetheart

And once again, Henry was ALL about the bagels haha

Attempting a pic with the kids.  "Attempt" being the important word here...

Henry couldn't stop eating long enough to take a pic!

Dancing to the Christmas music

Both of them love this little nutcracker by the tree

It is hard to get Henry away from him!  Weird :)

All of the kids waiting for a Christmas story

Looking for Santa :)

There he is!!!

Happy girl :)

Not such a happy boy :)

Attached to my body

He kept on backing up

Working on her Christmas craft

Hard at work!

I promised Kara I would get a picture of her with Hari and Nicholas.  Good friend I am, huh?  Think she would care if I sent it a year late?  Haha

This is the look I got when I asked Charlotte if she wanted to sit on Santa's lap.  Guess that is a big fat "NO"!

I attempted to bring Henry up…that's funny I thought he might actually go near Santa without losing it

Holding on for dear life.  Mean mommy

Clearly, we didn't make it on to Santa's lap!

Christmas Eve with Jack and Owen

So color coordinated :)

Henry & Kerry having fun

Attempting (once again) a family pic…some things never change!

Charlotte was excited to change into her Christmas PJs

Serenading the group

Cutie pies

The cookies we made for Santa

….and these for mommy.  Yum! :)

All ready for Christmas morning!  To the left is the double stroller and changing pad Charlotte HAD to have…I am pretty sure she hasn't played with either since Dec. 26, 2012.

Pretty tree

Here is a video of when the kids walked down on Christmas morning

 

It looks dark, but it really wasn't THAT early haha.  Probably 6:45-7am, at least! :)

Posing

Henry was eyeing the microphone from the start…should've realized that would mean trouble :)

AND…of course he wanted to play with it.

And then play with it some more….

…and more. By now, Charlotte wasn't a happy camper haha.

What a wonderful, happy day!  Haha.  I kid, I kid.  But I am 99.99% sure this tantrum had to do with Henry using one of her presents.

Doesn't he look so innocent though?!

Christmas night, we went to Bonnie's house to see Jon's family

So excited to see his cousins haha

The older girls

Tessa giving Charlotte hugs

Charlotte was loving every minute of it ;)

Sweet

Group hug

Henry found crackers, his favorite!

More hugs

Henry was very excited to play with some of his gifts...

Being a worker man

Cars & trucks = Happy Henry!

With my big girl

At least he isn't in the way, huh? Haha.  Right in the middle of the floor!

I tried to get a pic of the kiddies…not exactly happening

Hi Daddy!

Cute pic

Okay, so yeah…that was Christmas last year.  Hopefully it won't take me a year to get pictures up this year, but I probably shouldn't make any promises!

Xoxoxo
