Christmas 2012

My mom and Momo came for Christmas this year!
We were so excited to have them!
Mia has been counting down for like 2 weeks.
They arrived Friday afternoon and we have been having a blast!
I had to work Saturday and Sunday so Mia got to spend lots of special time with her Mama d (Grandma) and Momo (Great Grandma!)

Christmas eve morning we played Skip-bo together.
This was really cool to me because it was Momo and Popo that taught me how to play when I was a little girl! Though I am pretty sure I wasn't as young as Mia- and that girl can play!
She strategizes and everything! The first game she won in just one round!

This year Mia decided that we should leave Santa some Rocky Road candy instead of cookies, since it is our specialty!

 Love this picture of my best mom and my best girl!

 Santa sure did come to our house!

Mia was over the moon about her gymnastics beam!

(But she was a little disappointed that Santa didn't also bring her the gymnastics bar that she asked for. 

Someday she will understand!)

 Marshall enjoyed all of the fun and excitement!

I am so not good with the camera lately!

We had the whole family over for our traditional prime rib and home made shells and cheese dinner and I hardly too any pics!

Oh well that just means I was too busy enjoying myself to take pics right?!?

We had a wonderful Christmas!

Thanks so much mom and momo for coming to be with us and for making the holiday that much more special!

We love you and miss you already!
***I made this special version of the Nail Family Tree for Momo!

 She loved it!

I envisioned it about 3 weeks before Christmas and I was able to take my vision and make it a reality!
I am quite proud of how it turned out and so pleased that Momo loves it so much!
