January Random-ary

Bro & Sis

Still catching up on January posts...here are the kids just chillin


And playing with the train set in Mason's room. Madelyn loves to watch the battery-powered ones go around the track!

Clean Cutie

Right after a bath, on her changing table...

Just a little drool.
Focusing in on those frogs on the towel (with a crazy cowlick!)
What a clean cutie! (4 months old~last month, Jan 2011)

Under the Tree & Dreaming...

This little sweetheart had been playing on her new playmat and finally got so sleepy, she just rolled over on her side & fell right asleep...almost under the Christmas tree! I had to steal a few pictures! (4 months old)

New Year's 2010--->2011!

Hats off to 2010! This is how exciting our New Year's Eve was this year...at home with the kiddos!

And this is how we found Madelyn in the morning--it was the first time she had MOVED around in her crib overnight! I was amazed & thankful she didn't have a stuffed animal on her face! All those cute stuffed animals went bye-bye out of the crib!
New Year's day we headed over to my parent's house for Mom's annual meal with black-eyed peas. (Not THE Black Eyed Peas)
We had lots of fun with the napkins-here's my Mom with the kids. Mason is wearing a "tie."
Then my sister decided to wear a napkin. Our family has this silly tradition (I'll explain later)...I actually think she looks like a pilgrim--Wrong holiday!
...So then it was Maddie's turn...
Tah-da! Maddie-Mima!
Exciting, right?

Hey, people, at least I'm Finally done posting about Christmas!!! Yea--getting the blog caught up--I'm in 2011 now!

Christmas Morning at Home + Wayne's Parent's

Santa visited and brought some fun toys for the kids...
The elves made these little wooden road signs for Mason
The Batcave was from Mommy & Daddy
And of course you need the Batmobile

Bedheads
Dumping out his stocking-he was really excited about the little stuff in there!


Me (looking scary first thing in the morning) in my new Plush Snuggie!
Madelyn slept in until Mason was done unwrapping his gifts--so considerate of her! She got her first baby doll.
And Santa brought this play mat that she now uses everyday!

We ate cinnamon rolls (our tradition) for breakfast and then went to Wayne's parents house for a small family gathering & a big meal.
Santa Baby is ready to go!

Mason & Madelyn unwrapping gifts with Grandma Clova

Christmas Eve 2010

We had a wonderful Christmas Eve at my parent's house. Every year, my mom makes a big lasagna dinner and then we all unwrap our gifts. We have a traditional turkey/ham dinner on Christmas day. We also go to Wayne's parent's on Christmas day, so this helps spread out all the festivities! Mason was all excited to unwrap his presents, of course-he was a fun age this year for it. Poor Madelyn had no idea what was going on!

I love this picture of our kiddos!

My sister and Grandma with Madelyn

I love all the munchie appetizers my mom puts out! I feel that she should have this out all year long...;)

After dessert...
Wayne & a new wrench

I got these "Smartie Pants" for my niece & nephew. They are little handmade corduroy pants filled with Smarties candies. I found them on Etsy & thought they were so cute & funny!
Mom's new Coach purse~I want it!
More unwrapping...
One of Mason's favorite gifts~The Mystery Machine!

We are so blessed to live so close to our families!
