Christmas and Lots of Snow!

We spent Christmas 2012 at home this year. We Skype'd with family and lazed around most of the day. It was great. Here are some of my favorite pics:
 Merry Christmas 2012

SO excited!

Lego Castle



This Monkey hat is now her favorite hat to wear!

The aftermath round one

We also got quite a bit of snow which delayed my MIL's flight giving us a few more days to play in the snow! This was the first year Mia really cared about playing in the snow and she loved it!

We have had quite a lot happen in the last few months, and since I find myself in a rare position: Mia is asleep before 9pm. I find myself with a little me time :) This is a miracle since she normally doesn't fall asleep until 11:00pm or later! So, I thought now would be an excellent time to sit down and update my blog (since paying bills didn't sound quite as fun!) and it has been since November since I have blogged about anything!
Thanksgiving and Christmas were a whirlwind. Mostly d/t finding that the projected plan for my mom's cancer treatment took a turn toward a more extensive surgery, we had to make many adjustments including bumping up our celebration of my mom's 50th birthday in February! She had never been to Nashville so we loaded up the car and headed to the Country Music Capitol and the Opryland hotel!. But here are a few of my favorite pics:

Mia got her first Cowboy hat and a 'Patar" aka guitar for Christmas

We got to hear a live band and see the Rockettes at the Grand Ole Opry

And to top it all off this kid was SO excited to go for a 'horsie' ride!

Happy early 50th Birthdays MOM!
