Christmas 2010 Part 2

Snow days are perfect for catching up on the blog, so as promised I finally bring you Christmas 2010 part 2. Christmas morning at home with my cubs, and a fabulous Christmas dinner hosted by Aunt Jenny & Uncle Jay.

Reid wished for Candy and a bike with 2 wheels, so Santa loaded his stocking with all kinds of candy....

Santa dropped off a new kitchen for the boys, so Daddy and Zappa put it together

Grant wished for a bike with 2 wheels and every kind of remote control toy imaginable...Santa wasn't sure where he would find a remote control digger, but Walmart came through for him.

Reid loved his new batting helmet...

Opening the surprises from Mommy & Daddy in the family room

...Blake knew what Grant was wishing for...more remote control!

this little princess watched all the festivities from the comfort of her swing

more surprises from Grammy.

...and the best gifts of all.

My Sweet Charlie Payne

I'm pretty in love with this boy, and Alyssa Maisano did such a wonderful job of capturing all his sweetness! There are quite a few cute shots but here are some of my favorites.

Christmas 2010 Part 1

I think it goes without saying that December was a busy month, but it was especially busy for us this year since we welcomed our sweet Charlie Payne into the world on December 6th. So I'm just catching up on some blogging and have 2 posts for December. We started the month with our traditional trip to the tree farm to pick out a tree. We go each year with Grammy, Pops, Jay and Jenny and their family, and afterwards we have lunch at Babes to celebrate Grammy's birthday.

I love this pic of the boys (thanks for this one Jenny!) These boys have so much fun together, they are so lucky to have each other.

My sweet Reidy T.

the next day we swung by AMH to pick up our baby Payne :) Grant and Reid stayed with Gigi & Pa-pa while we were at the hospital. This picture of Reid was taken the first morning after we came home from the hospital...I don't think he could be any more pleased with him. I can't think of anything more wonderful to wake up to after 4 nights away from home.

We took the boys to North Park to see the trains and do a little shopping

The boys had fun decorating gingerbread houses and trains. Reid was in heaven with all the candy...he's a little candy obsessed (hoping it's just a stage, but no signs of it dying off any time soon)
