ringing in the New Year...

with my favorite people...the only place i wanna be!

a holiday picture marathon...

a lot happened over our holiday break...we had a great time, & sucked up every little minute we could together...it seems like the break passes more & more quickly every year!

we got our first real snow of the year...& the first real snow since adopting Rocket...

sledding before it disappeared...

watching movies together, & passing out on the sofa...

a visit with Curt's parents on Christmas Eve Eve...

our annual Christmas Eve dinner with my dad's family...

hot cocoa & opening their Christmas Eve gift...

new PJs!

snug in their beds...time for the big guy to pay a visit...

we woke up to a light dusting, & the snow was still coming down...it was a pretty magical Christmas morning!

then the fun began!

we started a new tradition this year...usually, we leave the big meals for our other family get-togethers, & do something fun/easy on Christmas day at home...but this year we decided to go all out! the girls helped me make a ham, sweet potato casserole, cornbread stuffing, greens, rolls & a pumpkin pie! it was so much fun cooking together all day...& really special to sit down to our own fancy dinner on Christmas day!

of course, we did a lot of chilling & playing that day too...

& later, we took a family walk to work off our big dinner...u can see the snow was nearly gone by the end of the day...it was fun while it lasted tho
(also note - PJs all damn day! ~wink~)

the day after Christmas, we got to meet Corey's new little buddy - Marley!

he's SO cute (only 4mos old) & Corey is such a good puppy daddy! i was pretty impressed to see how well he looked after Marley...& of course Corinn couldn't leave him alone!

as if we hadn't celebrated enough...then came time for Christmas with my family...

& lastly, Gabby had a friend over for a sleepover before our holiday break ended...

i hope u guys had an awesome holiday break too...i can't believe a month has already flown by since then! is it really almost February?!?!
