Christmas #3

Yes that is right this is Christmas #3 for us. Mason and I (daddy had to work) headed to Warren to celebrate with the cousins. WOW was this a case of sensory overload or what. I think the pictures speak for themselves :)

Christmas #2

Aunt Sassy and Uncle Joel hooked Maso up with some Handy Manny gear

Movies and pj's thats my kind of present

Mason had enough and thought he would hide in the bag.

We celebrated the Parrish christmas at our house this year because of the bad weather. Aunt Sassy was very pregnant with baby Grayson but she braved the car ride so we could all be together :)

Christmas Morning 2009

What a wonderful day. Of course Santa spoiled Mason again this year. Santa really needs to get a grip :) I always wondered who took the picture of all my presents before I ever woke up :)

The Handy Manny 4-wheeler was a big hit!!!

Suprise!!!! Mommy got a new HP Mini from Daddy

Rocket tent is pretty cool too

Of course we had to go outside and try out our new ride

December 2009

Our mantle (no I did not do this by myself)

I did however do the tree plus another tree in the front window

Mason decorating cookies with daddy so he can take them to school

Painting ornaments with friends

We celebrated Mary Elizabeth's 2nd birthday

Wow how time flies. It seriously seemed like minutes after Halloween it was time to decorate the tree and wrap presents.

Helping Mommy

Mason tried to help me decorate the tree this year. I actually had to wait till he was asleep to drag everything out because he would have made a mess.

Chicago

"Hey Oprah are you home?"
Yes I was stalking Oprah's apartment and the security came out. Of course I went right up to him and tried to work my southern charm. All I found out was she definately owend an apartment in the building.



the church from "My Best Friend's Wedding" I love that movie and this church was beautiful.

Just sightseeing

at the "Bean"

"YUMMY!!!" Deep dish pizza.

We took a firm trip to Chicago this year and had a great time. We decided to stay closer to home this year since Melissa (Jarrod's partner) was pregnant with twins. I have been to Chicago once before to visit my good friend, Tara, but I did not get to stay long. This visit we had lots of time to wonder around and check stuff out.

Halloween Party

Mason was Handy Manny.

Jon and Kate showed up :)


tryingto get a good picture of this many kiddos was not an easy thing to do.

We had a great party this year. I love having a Halloween party. We get to dress up, decorate and have fun foods.
