Here are a few pictures from our last 3 weeks of Christmas celebrations with family. We had a full three weeks which included visits from great grandma Kay, auntie's, cousins, grandparents, ggma and ggpa, nana and papa and many more. We enjoyed a Christmas morning here at home with our family of four before leaving for Edmonds to ggma and ggpa's home. More pictures of our travels will have to come later since I don't have our family camera at home with me right now. So these are just some to give a quick update. I look forward to bringing in 2012 with these two munchkins of mine! :)

Christmas Craft Day

Today was a Christmas craft day for Niyah and I. Our first craft were these beautiful PINK SPARKLE ornaments. Who needs the traditional "red and green" when pink's an option is Niyah's motto. These will be her first 'craft-gifts' to family this year and she was very proud. The sparkles made an exciting mess and will be with us for some time I think. It was worth it though. Niyah even managed to get some sparkle 'bling' on her cheek. Just about in her eye, but thankful we steered clear any optical damage. Merry Christmas to all. And some of you fortunate folks will get to enjoy one of these handmade ornaments made specially for you by the 2 yr old Niyah Joy. :)

Some more pics of our crafts in the days to come! Stay tuned. I'm sure you're very interested. :)
