Merry Christmas from the Nickel's!
What a beautiful morning!
The big day has finally arrived. Last night we took another trip to see the Lights of Tanea. If you are from this area and did not make it there, you really missed something very cool. We kept telling MJ last night that he needs to be asleep or Santa won't stop by. Fortunately for him, he managed to get to bed at a reasonable time.
Here is what went one this Christmas morning:
OUR TREE
Here's the before shot of our tree. Obviously, MJ is not up yet
Mark and I agreed to get MJ only 2 presents each.
Didn't quite work out that way, but we had fun.
The upside of being and only child.
FAMILY
A Few family shots before MJ tears into his presents
Very happy my big sis came to visit. She is the closest person I have to my Mom. We talked quite a bit about her these past few days. Our first Christmas w/o her and it's been difficult so having my sis here was to ease the pain of it all. Even the loss is painful, I am still very fortunate, because I don't have to go through it alone.
A FAMILY OF MY OWN!
The Nickel's
"It's Home Depot!"

| A tractor from Grandpa! |
A fishing pole from Tia!
It's an audio book. Another gift from his favorite Tia!
MJ singing Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star with Tia
"I love you Tia Jitos"
PAPA'S TURN!
I think he loved his new combo kit!
And so does MJ
Why do I need bullets this size. I don't have a rifle of this caliber!
Well, not yet......
Yep, this was a winner.
He does so much to provide for his family and ask for nothing in return.
He deserves this and more.
More excited than MJ was to with his new Christmas present!
FOR THE MAMA OF THE HOUSE!
Who, for me?!?
A new Coach bag, how did Santa know?
Why is there a Ray ban case in my hand bag? Oh, cause there's a
new pair of Ray bans in my bag too!
Mama's stylin new pair of shades.
ps. The Big Guy just got me the china hutch behind me for Christmas too!
SCORE!
Say Cheese!
Got a new Cars tent and camera
Ok taking a quick break from making dinner to enjoy a glass of wine. I think a glass of wine should be part of any dinner recipe.
Cakebread Cellars~Cab 2006.
Most definately one of my top 5 wines!
That's a great layered salad in the backgroud.
Went simple for this years Christmas dinner
Ham, potatoes au gratin, cranberry sauce, layered salad,
rolls and of course wine!
MJ pooped out before dinner. Long day for our little man
MERRY CHRISTMAS!
Have a great Christmas Season
filled with laughter and wonderful memories.
And your New Year be filled with many
more special moments!
