2009 Holidays...fast forward!

Long time no see!!!! I haven't posted anything in such a long time that I thought I better at least post something about the last couple of Holidays of the year. So, without further adue...here is a re-cap...on fast forward!!

My very 1st, awesome-est, most delicious-ist, prize winning, gorgeous, made-from-scratch, start-to-finish...blueberry pie!!! My family gets together the day before T-day for a pie making party. It is much fun and everyone gets involved... well, except for me! You see, in years past I always found it more fun to talk and goof off than make pies...I mean don't you buy those things??? C'mon!?! Well, this year...stand back, it was my year!!! I got into the groove and loved EVERY single minute of it! I am sure if you lick your screen the flavor will jump right out and you will see for yourself what I am talkin' about!!

Our WONDERFUL Hosts! Aunty Theresa and Uncle Gargamel :) hosted Thanksgiving this year and it was a HIT! Thanks for a GREAT, great day! The girls...

and the studs!!!

I just accidentally deleted the pic of "the boys". ARRRRGGGHHHHHH!!!! Hopefully I can find it somewhere else and post it again because, seriously, it is FREAKIN' A-dorable!!

Mom and Ricky...who just turned the big 1 - 8!?!?!...um, when did that happen exactly!?! Wow, I am seriously O-L-D!

Cyndi & Ron (gosh, I just LOVE these two!!) The Snowman cake I made for my mom's b-day!! That's correct, made it myself - no cake molds here - just pure talent!! What is Christmas without a Ginger Bread House?!?! This poor house was deemed unsuitable for living oh about...1 minute after it was constructed!! LOL!!! Seriously, we couldn't even breath next to it for fear it was going to fall down!! No "huffin'-and-puffin'" needed for this bad boy; a whisper sent the windows crashin' in like the Wizard of Oz!!!! LOL!! Seriosly good times tryin' to construct this bad boy!!! The empty Santa cookie plate! LOVED every single one of the those delicious cookies! O' Christmas Tree!

Christmas morning 2009 Dominic, in his NEW Christmas Jammies and sleepy eyes, headin' out to see what Santa left for him! Ricky and Tori opening presents. Ricky joined us for both T-day AND Christmas this year - totally AWESOME!! D with his new Army Helicopter! G-ma with her shiney red nose and Christmas Doll!!! LOL!! When mom cries, she looks like Rudolph - it's awesome!! Hee Hee - love ya mom!! Ricky with his iTunes card and...Tori...making a face that I'm not sure is about??? I guess that gift wasn't a big hit!

Mario with his Yankees quilt - that I personally made for him!!! I LOVE, love, LOVE this pic...oh and this kid!!!! He just opened the race track his G-ma gave him and he was so beyond excited. The look on his face was/is priceless! I love it!!!!! I just had to throw this one in cuz' I came across it.

My handsome, GORGEOUS, beautiful, A-dorable, unbelievably...stinkin' rotten amazingly A-freakin'-dorable little boy...D!!! Can you stand it??? Oooooohhhhh, I just want to squeeze the crap out of him!!!!

Oh and another I couldn't pass up! Ooooohhhhh, I just LOVE, love, LOVE these two boys - the english language does not have adequate words to describe the love I have for these gorgeous, wonderful, amazing blessings in my life!!!! I love ya like nobody's business to infinity and beyond and around the world and back again!!
