We went over to The Dice's house tonight along with The Jones family to celebrate New Years Eve tonight!!! My, how our New Years Eve Celebrations have changed over the years...ha! We had a fantastic dinner, talked, laughed & enjoyed watching all 8-of our little boys run around like crazy together!!! It was so much FUN to finally meet baby Tate Jones for the fist time tonight too. He is 6-months old & came here from Ethiopia about 6-weeks ago...he is an absolute doll. So, now we have even more testosterone to add to our little group...just what we needed!!! Thank You Aunt Nik & Uncle Jeff for having us over tonight...we had a wonderful time!!!

Family Game Night...
FAMILY nights are the BEST nights!!! Tonight I was lucky enough to get all 3-of my boys all to myself!!! It is so much FUN now that Benjamin & Brady are getting older bc they are both starting to really understand how to play all of the different Wii games & board games. We had lots of laughs tonight & it made me very excited for the many more Family Game Nights we will have together in the future...

Stacy's Visit!!!
I always look forward to my visits with Stacy over The Christmas Holiday! We enjoy every minute that she is able to visit with us every year at this time...unfortunately this year we did not get to see Vince, Graham & Ed, but Stacy was as adorable as ever! We are looking forward to hopefully visiting The Conder's home in Charlotte sometime within the year 2011. It makes me so sad that we only get to see each other a couple of times a year, but on the other-hand I am very thankful that I get to see her as often as I do considering the distance between us is quite allot. Our families are so incredibly similar it truly is a shame that we do not live closer to one another. It is crazy how much her 2-boys remind me of Benjamin & Brady...when we are lucky enough to get everyone together, they get along so fabulously, it is great to see!!! Watching my best friends children growing-up along-side of my boys, is definitely one of the best things to experience as a mom...We love you Dais, thanks for a FUN visit!!!

Santa Was Here!!!
Wow...Santa really came to our house last night!!! Not only did he bring all of the toys for Ben & Brady that they had on their "wish lists", but he even ate all of his cookies, drank his whole glass of milk & his reindeer ate all of the "reindeer food" that we put outside for them (courtesy of Grandma Aiken). This was so very exciting for both of our boys this year & equally so for mom & dad. The looks on both of their tiny little faces when they saw the "evidence" that Santa & his Reindeer had definitely been to our house will be a memory that we will both cherish forever!!! Re-visiting The Christmas Holiday Experience through the eyes of a young child is nothing short of a miracle. The pure innocence, anticipation & excitement that both Benjamin & Brady have experienced over the past couple of weeks is a quick reminder of what the holiday season is all about. We thank all of our friends & family for making this holiday extra special for our boys, Brian & myself. After all...Family & Friends are the true meaning of Christmas...We hope that all of you & your families were able to enjoy the 2010 holidays just as much as we did!!!
MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL & TO ALL A GOOD NIGHT:-)

Christmas Eve With The Aiken's:-)
Uncle Jeff, Jake & Grandpa...
Tonight was a fabulous start to our 2010 Christmas holiday. We stuck to our yearly tradition of going to the 4pm service @ Southbrook, which as always was beautiful & very enjoyable. Although we wish Brian would have been able to join us @ church this year, we all went back to meet him at our house for dinner & lots of presents afterward. Since Grandma & Grandpa Aiken are leaving early in the morning, we enjoyed our "final" evening together for the winter months...although we will all miss them tremendously, we will have such fantastic & unforgettable memories of this very special night together to last us all through the cold winter months until they get home again in March!!! See You later SANTA, we put your cookies & milk on the table & sprinkled THE REINDEER'S food on-top of the snow by the front door for you all to enjoy tonight when you stop by our house...MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!
