Having Ourselves a Merry Little Christmas!

As this Holiday season is coming to a close I can't help but reflect on how fast this year has gone by.

We have been enjoying every single moment of our Christmas break. Staying in pj's, eating great food, playing board games, eating great food, and hanging with family and friends pretty much sums it up! Here are a few (ton) of snapshots of what we have been up to...

Our break started with Isabella's Christmas program at school. Something about hearing children rejoice and sing about the birth of Christ just puts me in the best mood! They did a beautiful job!

A fun visit with Great Grandma Jones

and Great Grandma Hogan.

Believe it or not, these are the children of two families. My BFF and I ventured out to Union Station with this crew to check out the train display and just breathe in everything Christmas!

Every little detail of the display is just amazing. A fun tradition that we have done ever since Isabella was a baby.

Celebrating with a birthday party for Jesus just would not be the same without our BFF's!

Isabella sang in the choir at Christmas Eve mass. We actually got a seat this year because we had to have her there so early.

We are so very blessed that our families merge together for this celebration. It means so much to me to have everyone together for these moments. These are memories that my children will have forever! The highlight of the night was playing the "Just Dance" game on the XBox Kinect. Wish I would have gotten pics of Mimi tearing up the dance floor!

Santa was very generous this year leaving a race track for this guy...

a kitchen for my busy bitty...

lots of doll accessories for this gal...

and some fun electronics for my bug!

Our Christmas would not have been complete without getting to hang with these guys...

COUSINS!!!

Even though it had been a very long time since they had seen one another you would have never guessed it. They are all crazy about each other and clicked instantly. I loved getting to see them all together!

With a few extra days of having daddy around we finally made it to campus to visit the Natural History Museum. Kids loved it! With the amazing weather we were able to walk a bit on campus and visit one of our favorite lunch spots on Mass.

Amazing that another year has come and gone!

Lots of changes coming for the Zimmermans in 2012!
