Making caramels....YUM!
Going to parties.....this was before Joe's sqadron party a very fancy formal affair....
......and lots and lots of other things!!! We have had a great December and had a wonderful Christmas today. We spent our day at home just the five of us. I have been in my pj's all day! :) It is hard to be away from family but we have come to love the quietness and closeness that spending the day with 'just us' brings. We watched 3 movies and played a LONG game of Monopoly. It was a fantastic day. The kids could not ask for more than they recieved today. We are so blessed! Christmas Eve...Seriously how cute are my kids?!? I love this picture!

Tara, looks like you had a great Christmas! How wonderful that your family is able to stay home and just enjoy each other without the worries that you need to go see everyone else. (especially when it is snowing, like we experienced)
Precious pictures of a fabulous family of five!!!
You always post so many wonderful and fun pictures. I love it. I am glad you guys had a great Christmas! Happy New Year!
Wow Tara, that sunset is AMAZING. Fun Christmas. Your kids are so adorable. I hope you have a great year, you deserve one. What a cute mom you are.
And yes, I will tell Shayla to invite you to her blog. She is still in the hospital, but I will do it when she gets home.
Looks like the perfect Christmas! Caramels to gingerbread houses to presents to a beautiful sunset! Miss you!
