Bells Will Be Ringin'...

Christmas is a lovely time of year (especially when one decorates in early November!).  Jesse and I had a very fun time celebrating Jesus' birth, spending time with family, and slowing time to a screeching a halt.  Here is a glimpse into our festivities...
Jesse received a helicopter from his mom...I'm thinking once he gets this sucker going, he's never gonna put it down!
Look at this fun apron! Now I can bake in style. :)
The pile of pups
Dad showing off the "chipperest" of smiles...believe me, he wasn't this chipper when he first woke up on Christmas morning.
Dinner with Abel, Kara, Alan, and Gayle
They're awfully cute :)
Couldn't resist putting this photo in rather than the one where Alan is smiling...he's always up to something...
If you find my serious husband, please let me know.
IT FINALLY SNOWED!!!!
Abel and Kara joined us in celebrating the New Years
We played Hand and Foot into the wee hours of the morning.
Forget the ball dropping...Mom has her own way of welcoming in the new year.
HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!
Break it up, you two!
Have to stay warm somehow...
We made a special trip to take Hutch's picture with his namesake...
Might I add it was FREEZING cold while taking this photo?!?
Thanks, Dad and Mom, for letting us crash at your home and for cooking dinner!!! We had such a fun time with you.  And to all of our family and friends whom we got to see and spend time with, it was a real treat!  We count ourselves blessed to have each of you in our lives. :)
