The end of 2010...

Here's a little look of what we've been up to on Christmas vacation, and the last of 2010....


We've been enjoying Christmas gifts...one of which was a trip to Chuck E. Cheese!!!

Hot stuff up there ;)
Showing off his skills!!
There's been lots of painting on the new easel (this was for our upcoming house guests)

Oh and let me tell you about this umbrella!! It gets used all.the.time!!! As you can see, even in daylight. She's like a good southern girl, trying not to get too much sun.Yes, and in the rain too. She LOVES her umbrella!!!
But the really big thing around here was the arrival of two important people!!! MEMAW and GRANDPA!!!! These two were on the edge of their seats waiting for them, and watching for them.

SOOO EXCITED when they finally made it!!!!
They came with gifts and they dove right in!!!And Pierce didn't even wait a minute before he was ready to show his grandpa his prize possession!!!
Grandpa checking it out :-)
Showing off!!

Of course what are grandparents good for?? Helping the kids play games and get the most tickets possible!!!
Check out all those!!!It was nice having them here for New Years Eve. We had a low key night, just watching movies and eating. Memaw came with fun snacks, what makes everything taste better?? Chocolate of course.
As you can see....Fondue...
was a big.....

hit for all... ;-)

And lastly, let me tell you who got a big girl bed!!!! That would be ME!!!! Well, Paul too. We had been looking for a new bed and decided on one, I just wasn't really sure when we would get it. The other day Paul left to take out the trash, and came back with the bed. He does stuff like that, always surprising me. I also got new bedding for Christmas, I'm very happy with it all!!! The bed we had Paul paid 20 dollars for, HA!! So, this feels all so grown up ;-)Back to school tomorrow and Memaw and Grandpa leave on Tuesday. Boo.

LOVE the new bed & bedding! Tre' fab-u-lous!
Also-I'm WAY too much of a control freak to let B-rad just go out & 'buy' a bed (or anything else!)willy-nilly without me... But Rico gets an A++ for surpising you!!
