The holiday season is all a blur...

Thank goodness for Aunt Kelli and all her youth and athleticism...she could have outsled the kids!
Millie leapt into Ryan's arms when RC tarantula took his first crawl, it was hysterical.

Kian quickly employed Papa as his own personal toy-opener Christmas morning.

Millie looking like she is ready to take a space walk.

The Goldsberry family Christmas Eve song, set to the 'Twelve Days of Christmas' but each verse was specific to a different family member (with a 13th day added for the growing family).

Cate enjoying her new ponies.

Cate is so excited...not so much about the fancy keyboard Santa brought but the remote controlled tarantula. Thanks Santa!

Cate and Grandma sledding.

Just a cute picture.

Ma with her grandkiddies, in the matching PJ's she made for them.

All the cousins in their matching PJ's.

I got my big cookbook and enough popcorn to last me...a while.

Millie in all her finery. (Not a Christmas photo but it just had to be posted.)

We had a fantastic holiday vacation. The prep and planning is all a blur but we all stayed healthy for the duration of the holiday so it was a success!

We switch off every other year between staying home to celebrate with my side of the family and going to Tahoe to have a white Christmas with Ryan's side. This was a Tahoe year and it was great. The kids loved the snow and the cabin and being with all the relatives. We all had PLENTY to eat. Ryan said he ate every 20 minutes but still managed to lose two pounds, a Christmas miracle.

With all the hustle and bustle of this time of year we didn't get around to Christmas cards this year...but we enjoyed receiving them, thank you everyone!
