I'll Be Late for Christmas!

YES! I'm just getting around to posting pics from Christmas. YES! There are a lot of them. YES! I've come up with a plan to avoid this next year! :)

Just like everyone else, Christmas time is probably our busiest time of the year. Between Christmas shopping, caroling parties, family celebrations and baby showers, December seemed to be especially packed with activities and celebrations. I think next year, I'm going to try to blog after each event so that everything is not all crammed into one, but this year, a 'photo blog' is going to have to do! ENJOY!!!

Goulas Christmas Caroling Party

Mary and 'Baby Jesus'

Baby Jesus doing some light reading in the manger

Mary, Joseph and the Angels of the Lord

Baby Jesus and the donkey that Mary rode on to get to Bethlehem.

Baby Jesus kept petting the donkey. I guess she thought he was a puppy....not sure WHY she would think that! :)

The Holy Family, the Shepherds, Angels and Wisemen

Christmas with the Praytors

Truett and baby Jesus

Gramma and Dakota - Dakota painted this apron for her

Truett & Tuck the Tortoise (gift from Jay and I)

Emma checking out her Christmas goods

Christmas Eve

I don't know why Truett wasn't in any of the pics, but if I had to guess, I'd say it was probably due to the fact that he rarely stays in one place long enough for me to get a picture!

Christmas morning at our house

Santa's apple turnovers and chocolate milk. I'm glad Santa is so polite and leaves a Thank You note each year!

Truett's gifts

Emma's gifts

Christmas morning snowfall at our house....it was 70 degrees the night before!!!!!!!!

Truett was born in June 2006 and has made us so happy and so proud (and at times, so frustrated...hahah!) in his short little life so far. His point of view and thinking are so great and his wheels are always turning, mentally AND physically! He loves playing outside, swimming and dressing up as his favorite movie/cartoon character. It's pretty common to find me in the grocery store or out running errands with "Handy Manny", "Fireman Sam" or "Woody". His new thing is telling jokes. Here are just a couple of his favorites:

Knock, knock! Who's there? Little old lady. Little old lady who? I didn't know you could yodel!

What's a pirate's favorite letter? Arrrrrr You THINK it's the ARRR, but it's REALLY the SEEEEEEEEA!

Emma was born in October 2008 and has been just the right amount of sugar and spice and everything nice. Of course, we definitely have a 'monkey see, monkey do' situtation on our hands and have started witnessing the effects of having an older brother! She loves to read books, color, swing outside and has recently become really interested in her baby doll. She has already started to fight for her independence and tells me, "I do it!". She definitely has a temper, which we blame on the red hair! :) She is very sweet but is also very tough and can definitely keep up with the big kids (thanks to her brother). She ADORES Truett and many times will call for him first thing when she wakes up in the mornings. We are looking forward to watching the bond between the two of them continue to grow.
