Christmas Box

We got lucky and a big wave of mail arrived early, with another Christmas box from Mimi and Papa!!

Our New PJs

Thank you Mimi and Papa!! The pajamas are very comfy and they fit really well!! We had to take Daddy's picture separately because Riley was getting anxious for bed, but as you can see mine and his are matching...awww...isn't that so cute? haha

Merry Christmas

The boys have opened their presents!! Andrew has been shooting his missiles non-stop, but Mommy might have to have a talk with Santa about bringing dangerous weapons in here, haha!! We are working on not aiming towards people or certain things... Riley is enjoying his Elmo guitar as well; Elmo's left arm slides along the guitar neck and his right hand is the whammy bar, to teach Riley where to put his hands! Mimi and Papa sent us all new PJs, the boys' came in a doghouse box with little puppies and Mommy and Daddy's are matching! We will take a family picture later once we all get into our PJs to show them off!!

Merry Christmas Everyone!

Santa Was Here...

This is the video from when Santa came to Italy! There wasn't a video from when he stopped by Pordenone, but this was the closest city they had a link for!!

He's Almost Here!!

We've been tracking Santa all evening on http://www.noradsanta.org/en/index.html and we have been getting ready for his arrival!! The cookies we made for Santa (Cinnamon Candy Canes) didn't turn out so well, but my little tester still ate a couple bites. But, we decided to leave Santa a slice of apple cake with some milk instead; we want him to enjoy his snack so he'll come back!! We left a bowl of apples outside for the reindeer and Andrew made Santa a sign so he would be sure to know it was for him!! Andrew enjoyed watching the little Santa move across the map, and hopefully Riley will be up for it next year!! Merry Christmas Eve everyone!!

2000 Chrysler Voyager

Here is our new vehicle...an automatic luckily!! It is in very good shape and even has leather seats and two side doors in the back, so I don't have to climb over one seat to get to the other this time! It also came with a GPS which is very nice, however my lighter doesn't work so it doesn't look like we will be able to use it for long trips unfortunately. But, I am excited I will be able to get around without being stranded while Adam is away!

Mommy Snowman

We had Cathy over yesterday while Tiffanie did some Christmas shopping, and when they got back home they invited Andrew over there to help them decorate. While he was there, he also made me this 'Mommy Snowman' for me. He was very excited to give it to me when he got home and is very proud of it!! He reminds me she looks like me everytime we walk in the kitchen :)

Preview...

Watch your mail...the little Brockman elves have been busy, here is a little sneak peek at what to expect...we have been busy reflecting on 2010!

Tree Lighting

The base had its tree lighting ceremony tonight, and since Daddy is on weekends overnight this month we were able to go!! Unfortunately that means he will not be home on Christmas Eve or Christmas Day, but we will make the most of the days in December we do have!!

Santa, Frosty, and Rudolph even showed up, and although we didn't have time to wait in the line for Santa since Daddy needed to get a nap in, the boys and I are working on a letter to Santa immediately!!

They ended up pulling the switch inside since it was rainy, but as soon as we went outside, we saw the big tree all lit up!!!
