DIG ME OUT!!!

We are ending basketball season which means I am trying to dig myself out of a hole...
Our house is crazy disorganized and I am on the mission to organize myself AGAIN.  I always start the year (school year) off great, but winter hits and it is downhill.  I was searching for a cute download for a weekly to do list.  I really want to do this...

...will settle for these cute little downloads from this website...now I am not going to lie...I have not thoroughly evaluated the website and its contents...BUT...super cute lists!  I love when function meets style!

LIVE, LAUGH, LOVE

Every year we send out Valentine's Day Photos instead of Christmas Cards simply because I have more time to think about the picture and get the cards out.  We send quite a few out because my family is sooooooo big and we have friends across the country!  This is what I came up with this year...DeanWorks did the graphic design for me.  Loved working with them!    

SPEECHLESS

Sometimes pictures make me speechless and filled with love...rare, but true!  

Make Me Laugh...

Did I mention I was the first one to get my niece to full out giggle?  Well, at least that is what my brother told me.  He may or may not be telling the truth.  Undetermined at this point.  Maybe he was trying to make me feel special since I don't get to see her often.  She giggled for me several times while bouncing her in front of the mirror.  We didn't get a pic of me, but I got a pic of my father trying to do the same thing.  Notice she is not laughing...my impression is that she thinks I am the funniest person she knows and won't laugh for others.  Little Miss B probably hasn't giggled like that since.  Well, that is what I am telling myself.  

Christmas Eve-OKC

 Before my brother, sis-in-law, and niece go out of town, we celebrated together with yummy food, a visit from Santa, opening some presents, modeling new PJ's, tracking Santa, baking cookies, leaving treats for Santa and his reindeer, and listening to the REAL story of Christmas.
 

We ordered red jammies for everyone in the family...so stinking hilarious.  I wish I could post some of the pics, but my family would disown me.  Just know that their was a lot of uncontrollable laughter!  

Tracking Santa...

Baking with Nonny is always fun...

Christmas Day-OKC

Every year it happens...my family goes overboard.  I think that my mom starts shopping the day after Christmas and continues to do so for the next year.  She finds items on sale and clearance which means more for us!  I am not complaining just feel really blessed.  

My parents designed some shoes for Brian on Nike.com...

The aftermath of being blessed...

My sister works for the sports management group that runs the arena where the Thunder plays.  Every year the boys go to a game together.  Brian has Little Man convinced that Kevin Durant recognizes him.
