Rapidly approaching holidays

OK... so I had better get some quick updates in before the holiday rush.. and what better time to do it while the majority of the house is infirmed, either lying on the couch or sleeping in bed. I think I'll just surround myself in a circle of Vitamin C capsules and garlic to ward off any and all of the germaceous creatures!!!

Anyway, since the last time we spoke, and other than the fun little holiday dance posted below (go ahead, go check it out if you want, this message will still be here while that video is only good until 1/15/09), Liv has turned 8, the kids posed oh so nicely after 2 hours of yelling and screaming for Christmas pictures, and we constructed our own little gingerbread house.

So, first off... a little impromptu celebration for Liv... she had gone out to the movies with her mom, sister, mimi, and Aunt Connie and cousin Luke.. so when she got home, she had her own American Girl cupcake-cake... Quick rendition of Happy Birthday and we all dig in... And of course Cooper enjoys the festivities.

And sometimes you take a minute to just celebrate the calm... because most times this is what we are dealing with..

I am not sure how many have gotten the christmas card as of yet... for those who did - repeat, for those who did not yet - a preview. And just a portion of the many, many others that we went through to get that one....

And finally, the house.... and we even made some windows to see the warm glow from fire inside. The remainder of the pictures are located in the previous album...

OK... that's all the time allowed me between emptying sick buckets and making dry toast.

Happy Holidays to ALL!!!
