As you can see, I have been a total slacker lately. Well, I have discovered how to load pictures through Picasa, which has made blogging way more easy!
I just selected a bunch of pictures from thumbnails in Picasa to load here to summarize how Michael and I spent the holidays. There will be more photos to come!
We went and hand picked our Christmas tree from Ramsay farms in Grand Bay. I loved how we got to search around for the perfect tree and someone there chopped it down for us. Please excuse the bow on the tree as it started falling and I wasn't tall enough to stick it back up there.
Also, we have since painted our living room - goodbye baby food peas green!
Penny and Holly, our sweet little elves. Michael got me a flash for my Nikon for Christmas! I am thrilled that I can get more details of Holly in my pictures now.
This is Michael's 'we're almost finished paiting the living room' move. We went with Woodrow Wilson Linen, which is very light compared to the pea green that was in there. I am still getting used to it...
On Christmas Eve Eve we went to celebrate Christmas at my parent's house. Penny sat here on my granny's lap most of the night.
We had a holiday potluck at work where we all ate way too much delicious food.
After our lunch some of the team at work participated in a gift-card exchange. Kenny was reading 'Twas the Night Before Christmas in a new, fun way for the exchange.
Before we headed to Dothan - the peanut capital of the world - to visit Michael's family for the weekend, I held a small cookie exchange party at our house with our 'crew' of friends. Once again, food and cookies that were wayyy too good.
Joe didn't make friends with his gingerbread man
I had planned to do some Christmas karaoke during the party, but that idea crashed and burned...then turned in to comedy night. Hilarious!
My longtime bestie, Jacky.

Too many cameras going at one time
Here is Michael watching his video from Santa Claus. He made the naughty list, what a shame!
Also notice the new paint color? And naked walls??
We loaded up Michael's truck on Christmas Eve and headed to Dothan. The tree was exploding with gifts on Christmas morning!
If you know me, I'm ornament crazy. I don't keep a ton of ornaments on my tree only because I like to really just have meaningful ornaments hung, not a bunch of fillers. This was my favorite ornament on Michael's parent's tree. Michael's first Christmas. I can't wait to have some of my own ornaments like this one day!
Jana's boy, Toby, loves opening presents more than anyone. It was too funny to let him help you tear in to your gifts.
Michael got Jana a Promaster flash for Christmas. I can definitely see a trend for the Christmases to come with DSLR accessories for the both of us.
Lily enjoyed the present opening as more of a spectator sport up in the recliner with Mrs. Jane.

We were very blessed this Christmas!
