If I don’t do this post right after Christmas I will completely forget. So here goes. Christmas was calm, pretty non-eventful but it was fun. I have 8 weeks left until this baby arrives and let’s just say I haven’t been the happiest of campers lately, just ask my poor husband.
This was Christmas Eve… about to go sledding at Aunt Shelley’s Cabin…
The kids were playing in their room so I took a few pictures. Of course Tate wants nothing to do with the camera and Chloe is miss Posey..jpg)

Then we made our way up to Midway to sled. I am pretty sure just getting your kids ready for the snow is approximately 7 times more work than actually going sledding. Chloe went down the hill once and then played puppy in the cabin the rest of the day with her cousin Emma. Tate braved the snow and helped dad build a pretty sweet and dangerous snow run. You would have never known that he got his tonsils and adenoids out one week earlier.
And this is Christmas day… I had to wake the kids up at 9am because I had been up for almost 2 hours waiting for them to pummel down the stairs with excitement. We didn’t go crazy on presents this year because we went on a family trip to NYC (Which was super duper, minus the ER visit, the crazy wind chill, and being thrown up on in the cab). Last year we spoiled them and all their toys were broken within weeks. Learned my lesson the hard way. They loved everything they got (all they really wanted was those dang pillow pets). Anthony and I didn’t exchange gifts and it felt weird, so next year I am making him spoil me just for fun.
How was YOUR Christmas??? I really want to know!
And here is our Christmas Card (well we had 2 different ones, but this was my favorite). It’s an accordion style card so you have to imagine it folded.
Hope you all had a great Christmas and looking forward to 2011 so this baby will arrive and I can stop being so hormonal!
Jayme - OMG love the card, so cute.
Your watercolor card was ours this year… but I had to change it up for 5×7 front and back. We had a great Christmas, Santa brought us a new kitty since ours had to be put down a couple weeks ago. It was a great way to start to heal our hearts. 
Brittany Stover - I love this! I love the sledding pics. And your card ROCKS! I know, all my kids wanted were those dang pillow pets too. Would have made Christmas alot cheaper, they tore through those presents and were done in 5 min. It was exhausting. I survived Christmas with the inlaws! Wahoo!
Sunny D - You have to be about the cutest pregnant person ever. Cute. Cute. Cute. And your house just has to make your heart happy full of those striped pajama angels. What a happy time.
Christin - So, from what I can gather…you were up on that snowy hill chasing and shooting sledders and you are 7 MONTHS PREGNANT? You deserve a medal just for that alone!….not to mention everything else you have been doing the last few months: running a business, decorating your beautiful house, feeding us internet fans with your blog, AND hunting down pillow pets! Yowza!!! I need to go lie down.
Jessica - Cozy Christmas feelings… sigh.
Lorena Mora - My kids love those dang pillow pets we have the frog and the panda. Love your photos and I don’t think I’ve ever seen the inside of your house or part of your house I love the decorations. I love the stripy pjs the kids are wearing will have to see if I could find them for Tristan. Can’t wait till you announce the baby is here and post photos, I love checking your blog for updates.
Tracy - Even your candid at home shots sparkle. Thank you for sharing, I’m always so excited when I see a new posting from you.
erica - I mean, they are just the cutest kids on the planet and I’m so insanely impressed by your images. if you ever have a workshop on toning, I am IN!!
Looks like you had an awesome Christmas!
Laetitia - I can see the pillowpets made their entry in your home
Happy Holidays
Jodi Palmer - Merry Christmas Angie! It looks like you guys had a good one! I feel your pain about not exchanging gifts, it’s no fun. I always think “oh it’s no big deal” but when the day rolls around it’s a total bummer. Hope 2011 brings even more love to your little family with that new baby.
