Christmas 2010...only 4 months late!

In an attempt to catch up on things here on ye olde blog, here's some pics of Christmas activities from the Hughes household.


I am refusing to edit photos.  I have no energy for such extraneous activities.

So here you go:

 J.J. at his class Christmas party...what a goofy boy.

J.J.'s first friend on the first day of school...and now apparently his partner in crime!

Santa came to visit his class!  I was worried he would be too scared to sit on his lap...

...but apparently not!

Even Mrs. S. got to join the fun!

MYA Christmas party

Andra has a weapon...look out!!

Oh the tacky Christmas glory!

Yeah, that says "My Bible study leader gave me this shirt for Christmas...that's the back.

That's the front.  My hubby is a kook!

Melanie was laughing at something so hard that she cried.  Sadly, I've totally forgotten what it was...but I have a feeling it was NOT appropriate.  And probably came from my mouth.  (Gulp!)

Christmas Eve

Mmmm...cookies!

Shocking that hers would be pink...everything she does is pink!

Making "carpet angels" in their Christmas jammies

Reading with Daddy before bed

Santa came!

Christmas morning:

Airhogs!!

Checking out what Santa brought!

Who doesn't love a Pillow Pet?

"Shaving" w/ Daddy

Johnny's face cracks me up!

Even Tinkerbell and Belle like the Pillow Pet

J.J.'s big present from us

Bow fight!!

BATCAVE!!

Seriously, he'd been asking for that thing for a year!  Thanks, Aunt Linda!

My mom really likes Nutella :)

Best gift in the stocking?  Dora band-aids!

Daddy making lunch in his new apron

The aftermath

There...I finally got Christmas down in the recordbooks!  Now...on to January!

Ummm...yeah. I'm pretty sad at this blogging thing.

Apparently, I lack something called "discipline".

At first I thought it was just in my homemaking tasks (laundry, dishes, vacuuming, feeding the kids--wait...I DO feed those little monkeys) and my eating habits.  But somehow it has become a glaring problem with my blog-writing as well.

(SIGH!)

Alas, it has now been 3 months since last I graced the cyber-world with my mad storytelling skills.

(Why does Blogger still underline the word "cyber" as though it's spelled wrong?  Irony?  I think so!)

Apparently my sidetracking skills did NOT take a hit.  (GRIN)

SO what have we been up to in the last three months?  Oh...just about everything you could expect from a family with two kids under 6 with another on the way:

Holidays
Birthdays
Barfing up lungs
Raging sinus infections
Nick Jr.
School parties
"Oops" notes (BLECH!)
Phineas & Ferb
BLIZZARDS!!! (Love 'em!)
Too many snow days to count
Arguments (oops!) discussions over what to name the new baby
Dave Ramsey (and consequently Baby Steps)
UNO!

That's just a tidbit, really.  The last three months have seriously been INSANE!  Where do I start?  Since the last time I wrote was in November, I'll start with the Christmas season.

But not here...I'll break it all up so you're not forced to read an EXTREMELY long post.

You love me, don't you?
