Tree Trimming Party

December 19, 2010

What a fun day!!! What a party and what a nice time. Our tree is beautiful. We bought a Frazier Fir tree, 8 footer. Steven had it up in the stand with the lights. Our guests arrived.. First Christian and Kim, our dearest friends.

There's Christian opening up a nice bottle of wine while Kim opens their gift. We had the dining room table pretty much set up with snacky foods and decorations. The table had some SVGcuts gift bags on it. The three standing soldiers up on the window sill were also from svgcuts, used on a big gift bag, and the reindeer centerpiece on the bookshelf.

After a bit, Mom and Dad arrived.  Then our dear friend Holly, with her two children, Jess and Aiden.

Even Mandi was able to be with us on the laptop through Skype and got to share in the fun!!!

Tree trimming abound. Everyone was having so much fun putting on the ornaments, but I do have to say , that little Aiden was most enthused and really took care of the bottom half of the tree!!

Everyone was having a great time. Eating, drinking, laughing, talking.

 

Some mommy and son hug time.

And of course we cant forget to mention Bagheera.. lurking and seeing how he could cause some trouble

   Even the turtles and the iguana were having  a great time.

And there she is , our tree. The most beautiful tree we ever had. We usually do a themed tree. One year it was blue and silver, another it was all white and gold, one year it was copper and gold.. This year, it was the best tree of all.. We call it our love tree… decorated with love by our dearest, most closest friends.. It is by far the best tree we could ever have asked for.

Happy Holidays to you all. THanks for stopping by and visiting our family blog. May God and the Universe Bless you and May you all have a healty and prosperous New Year!!!!

Sonnys 13th birthday

Well our boy is now officially a teenager.. where does the time go?

Last night, on the 19th, we too him and his best girl Jess to dinner at Cracker barrel. Had a great time. Jess is such a great kid and her and Sonny get along so well. THey are both a pleasure to take out. No hassles, no fuss, no muss and they keep us in stitches!!!THe staff at crackerbarrel  brought Sonny a piece of chocolate cake with icecream and sang happy birthday to him. He turned all shades of red. Afterwards we took the kids to the mall..

Here are some pics from last night.

 

Today, we had mom and dad come for lunch and then afterwards we had Jess, her mom and dad, Holly and Chris, and her little brother come for ice cream cake. It was fun. SOnny got some really cool gifts. Even his sister Mandi’s present came in from UPS. She got him Halo Wars Magnetic Spartan.. which he loves. He got some cool camping stuff for boyscouts, a ring made from a dollar bill, GiJoe rockethauler with a set of men to go with it, best of all Grampy gave him his compass from when he was a kid.. IT looks like a pocket watch.. its totally awesome. We gave him some guns, oh and an IPOD. From our dear friends Mary and Leo, he got a beautiful alarm clock with an IPOD dock on it..Its totally awesome. Jess and her family got him the cutest little hamster.. like a battle hamster. We were just all playin with it and we were laughing so hard. Even Nicki was getting into it. Here are some pics from today.

He had a great birthday.. I am so appreciative for all the birthday wishes sent to him over facebook and so appreciative to all the good friends we have.

Bless you all.
