MERRY MERRY Christmas 2011!

MERRY Christmas!!!

What a wonderful Christmas this year! Grady was REALLY into the whole thing, and it brought tears to my eyes and happiness to my heart to see both boys light up & be so excited over the whole day. The magic of Christmas has been renewed for Nick and I, and I was able to really take in the blessings of our family. The boys are so loved by their grandparents, aunts, uncles & extended family & friends. God is good!!

Happy 10th Anniversary to us!

Nick and I celebrated our 10 year anniversary in NYC!! NYC was the first trip we took after we got married (except our honeymoon), so we thought it would be fun to visit again 10 years later...We had a wonderful time! Lots of walking, lots of shopping, Lots of food, and we even caught Spiderman on Broadway, which was absolutely amazing!!!

Eating dinner our first night...we loved to get a spot next to the windows...people watching is AWESOME in NYC...

I got us tickets to my favorite talk show, Wendy Williams....Nick was a good sport, and he actually ended up enjoying it...and I got lots of camera time (as I later discovered at home on my dvr)...we had guests, JWOWW (Jersey Shore), Cheryl Hines (Curb Your Enthusiasm, Suburgatory), and Ivanka Trump (post taping)...I had a BLAST!

Our spot in the audience...we got a good spot & it was all entertaining!

My girl, Wendy! She was actually very professional, and the show was well done.

During one of our walking trips, we stopped in a diner, and Nick got the BIGGEST piece of cheesecake! He ate the whole thing..BUT, it didn't stop him from eating LOTS more that day :)
