From our house to yours…Merry Christmas.

Yes, this means that we did not get Christmas cards out this year. I love receiving them from so many of you. They are plastered on our refrigerator and the kids love to point out all the people they know and we share stories of our friends and loved ones. And, I wish that our lovely card was decorating YOUR refrigerator this year. But, I just couldn’t get it done. So, this will have to do. Print it out and stick it up. And know that we love you!!! We wish you many happy, joyous memories this holiday season! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!


Decorating the tree.

We got a fresh tree this year. We bought it during Thanksgiving weekend so Grandma and Grandpa Sasser could help us decorate. It smelled so delicious and fresh! Of course, a month later it is in need of a Christmas miracle. We got the tree place to add a water pan to the bottom, but they nailed in down so tightly that the tree can barely soak up any water. Poor thing… Come on tree, just one more night. You can do it. Hang in there.





Getting ready..

Santa needs some cookies, right?


Grandma and Grandpa Sasser visit Texas!

We had a great Thanksgiving with Grandma and Grandpa Sasser. The kids had a blast playing and soaking up some time with them. They even babysat while I ventured to Belgium for a couple days (work, all work people)… :-)

Fall days.

The end of the year is creeping up on us. Well, really it’s more like a cheetah chasing us down on the hunt, with us being the innocent gazelles totally unprepared while chewing our savannah grass. But, I digress. Christmas Eve is here and that means time to catch our breath and savor the last few days of 2009. I won’t launch into all the wonderful things that 2009 has brought us (a new baby and a new job), rather I’ll just post a few pictures of a recent fall day where we went on one of our regular walks to feed the ducks and played at the park. Luckily, I happened to have my camera (that doesn’t always happen these days with three little ones running around).
