Getting up to see what Santa brought.
This was actually the number 1 movie on her Christmas list! She was very excited.

Looks like those are his favorite Christmas present too :)

Christmas

Despite some negatives things happening, our Christmas was really good. Thankfully I have been off, because our car has broke down twice in the last 2 weeks. Even as much as it has all sucked, we had a great time together. It has been so nice to be here with the kids while they are off from their school break. We actually got time to make all kinds of Christmas goodies. Christmas Eve was really nice, but we did miss the Craddocks loads! It is so nice to get to spend the evening with our family. We started Christmas day opening presents and spending time with the kids then headed over to my parents. Christmas dinner was nice at my parents, but again we had missing people. We were very sad that Sean's Mom wasn't feeling good, so they didn't get to join us. Kim and Mike did come with the boys. I got out the old picture albums and shared them with Sean and Kim. Its always so much fun to look them over and get a good laugh out of our old clothes and hairdo's :) Can't believe that 2010 is already here! I remember the days that getting to even the year 2000 seemed like a big deal. Of course I also remember thinking how old 33 was, but boy I don't think that anymore. I am so glad that it snowed today, it makes New Years feel fresh and clean, like a new year should be.

Addition to the Family....

Well its taken me a while but here are some pictures of the new addition to the Fabian family. Welcome to the family Mason Ryley Baker, born on Nov 21 8lb 5oz and 22in long. This beautiful miracle belongs to Sean's sister Kim. And he truly is a miracle! Kim and Mike have been married for 18 years and unable to get pregnant. 4 years ago they got Brayden and 3 years ago they got Bryce, both boys were finally adopted a couple years ago. They are a wonderful addition to the family and Kim really didn't think about having anymore kids, they already considered Brayden and Bryce wonderful miracles given to them. Then last spring a new miracle was given to them and Kim got pregnant with this beautiful baby boy! God is wonderful and when we forget how wonderful he is we just need to look at a baby and we will be reminded. Enjoy the pictures.

Decorating the Tree

Well we haven't got all of our Christmas decorations up, but we did get the tree up before I had surgery. We have a tradition of eating pizza and watching The Grinch that Stole Christmas (the Jim Carrey edition) while we decorate the tree. We also like to take pictures of each other while we decorate the tree, some of them follow.

Yes Mom I am putting it on the way you want.

Sorry I didn't realize that this one was sideways :)

The finished product!
