The Christmas season has already come and gone! Can you believe it??? I wanted to share a few images from my Christmas holiday with you. So, here goes. :) Enjoy!

 

The Christmas "Season" always kicks off for my family with my Dad's birthday on the 23rd. This year "Norkey" celebrated his 49th Birthday! (Below)

We had a birthday dinner at my parent's house with some of their close friends, The Nickels and The Perrons. It was a great evening and I don't remember the last time I laughed that hard.

My Mom made a delicious chocolate cake with real peanut butter icing! Mmm! (Below)

Now, on to Christmas morning! First, we went to T.J.'s parent's house. After opening our stockings, T.J. slid a gift in my direction and casually told me to open it. I was certainly not prepared for what I was about to open. A CANON D5 MARK II!!!!! Yea... I was shocked. :) Of course we had to test it out...

T.J.'s favorite gift that I got him was his iPhone case from Threadless.

Kaila and Popou (with his black eye...) (Below)

T.J.'s family usually chooses one family member per Christmas to get the "big gift!" This year it was Samantha and she had no idea it was coming. Once she opened up her brand new Mac Book she started to cry. Which made Steph cry, which made me cry. Momma Mousetis was already crying.. before Sam even opened the box. :) Anyway... what is the first thing you do when you get a new Mac? YEP! Use Photobooth. :)

After brunch we headed to my parent's house to exchange gifts. They got us a new microwave!!! It's awesome and looks like it's from the future. Here's a photo of my parent's tree...

The day after Christmas was pretty relaxed. Lola loves to watch TV. Here she is watching T.J. play Modern Warfare II.

I decided to call my Mom and get the fabulous banana bread recipe that she has, which is originally from her Mom.

My new mixer! Thanks T.J.! It made baking so much easier! (Below)

Another thing we've got going on this Christmas Season is our walk in love. kiosk at the mall. I hope you had time to check it out! Today (New Years Eve) is our last day. Heres a shot T.J. took at the kiosk of our newest shirt! (Below)

Here's a shot T.J. grabbed at his extended family Christmas party. Kaila was enjoying being in the room with all the presents. (Below)

I am always telling T.J. to back up, cause he takes every photo of me only inches from my face. Example A. (Below) Ha ha.

On Tuesday afternoon went for a short walk to Turkey Hill to get soda and coffee. T.J. got the two shots below on our walk. I was WAY to cold for me to even think about holding a camera.
