Cousins, Cousins & More Cousins!!!!!
















Christmas Continued






















More Christmas Fun





























"Thats Not Nice, Mommy"

HVN could tell you just about every spot in town that had a Manger Scene or Santa Clasue up for the Season. Well, today we were driving to the gym, as we took a right on the main strip where the Manger Scene was...HVN says..."Ugh Ugh (nose wrinkled up) Mommy, Where did Baby Jesus go?" I responded by saying they put Him away til next Christmas....she thought for a moment then looked back at me and says..."Thats not nice mommy!" Her little heart was upset that Baby Jesus was gone....

A Million Dollar Smile

I just can't leave any out! This was the morning that HVN and I set out for a photo shoot. Some made the Christmas card and others did not, simply because there wasn't enough room. I think by now HVN is use to the routine and knows how to work my camera. She and I had fun walking downtown until I thought the church with the iron fence, that also holds much History in our town, was the perfect place. Sometimes I have to remind her to give me a relaxed smile as her "big cheese" to the left doesn't show her pretty blue eyes....and she redoes it! I'm thankful for that "big cheese" as it brings much joy to our home.

A Nicely Family Christmas

The snow started at noon and never stopped at the Nicely's. But between family time, gifts, GG"s peanut butter balls, lasagna...we were all worn out but back home by 8p.m. It was a wonderful relaxing time together!



























Merry Christmas Will Always Be Said in Our Home

6:45 a.m she was up bright and early...so Mommy was too!!!! No doubt Daddy wanted us to sleep longer. Most of my great shots are on the video camera, however I hope you can see her smile this Christmas morning at 2 years old. She was so excited as she turned the corner and saw her Toyaota Crusier and Pink Camo Camping tent...she wanted nothing else. But we stopped and opened a special gift...the baby Jesus. Our new Christmas morning tradition is that we unwrap the baby Jesus first so we all are reminded that Jesus is the greatest gift to us this day and always. Then we read Isaiah 9:6 to help appreciate Him more. We had so much fun this morning watching HVN, loving on each other, sharing breakfast and making memories. God is so good to bless us with things that are fun, yet we don't really need materialistically.
