Ho Ho Ho

Last Friday night, Mom treated all of us to "Enchanted Airlie"....

Airlie's ancient gardens are transformed into a visually stunning wonderland of theatrically illuminated large oaks, small native trees, and elegant displays. What could be more enchanting than a glittering landscape of lighted oaks and twinkling displays in a post-Victorian garden setting? Enchanted Airlie promises an evening of simple pleasures for all ages. Leisurely nighttime strolls through 30 acres of tastefully decorated gardens are enhanced by live entertainment. Santa greeted the children and listened to their holiday requests in the North Pole tent.

Anthony & Edwin loved seeing Santa....Anthony got shy and didn't have much to say...Edwin just kept staring at him.....here's one pic of the 3 of them....(I'll post some more later)....

O Christmas Tree...

Here's a few pics from our little trip to pick out a Christmas Tree....as usual, Anthony ran around and wouldn't let me take his picture (except for this Power Ranger stance)...
We picked out a nice tree (on Sunday) and came home and decorated it...when I get through those pics I'll post some...but for now...here's some from the tree lot...
Also...on Saturday, Diana, Jenny and I went through some of Anthony's old clothes and this cute overall outfit is one of Anthony's old ones and so are the boots..notice the scuff marks...so cuuuute!

Testing, 1, 2, 3

Hey...So I'm playing around in Photoshop tonight and wanted to upload this cutie patootie picture of Josh - the newest Mathew's Family member...he belongs to Brian's cousin Tammy and her husband....I took this on Turkey Day....more pics and blogging to follow soon...hopefully still tonight....

Still here....

Hey all...
I've been a blog slacker but I'm still here....I don't like to post if I don't have a pic to include, but I haven't picked up my camera in over a week.....I'm still battling tremendous pain...mostly in my back....I've been to the pain mgmt doctor/back institute..I had to have an MRI last week and I'm still waiting to hear the results.....the back pain has been bad enough that I ended up staying home from work on Friday and I've been working from home every afternoon for the last few days...so I've just been too drugged up and miserable to care about blogging...sorry...

My boys are doing good....Brian is excited to get the Christmas decorations put up....how is it almost time for Christmas already? I just can't believe it....!! Anthony was going through the Walmart Christmas Wish Book last night and picking out everything he wants....he wants everything...haha...well that makes shopping easy....

Next week Dave and Jenny are coming for Thanksgiving...we're so excited to see them....again..I can't believe it's time for Thanksgiving already....but I'm so looking forward to it...I get almost a whole week off from work and get to spend time with 2 of my favorite people (and the rest of my favorite people)....

I'll try to take a pic or two tonight...in case you forgot what Anthony looks like..haha.....

L'il T

Last night I was editing some pics from Anthony's Tball games and trying to get the rest of the pics posted to the site for the parents and coaches....I ran across this one of my sweet little boy and thought I'd share it....

I usually watch 30 min of the game in the stands and the other 30 min I go in the dugout with the team and take pics from the doorway to the field...Anthony always gets a little shy and serious around the other kids.....and every once in awhile he poses for me (on his own)...

Today is Friday...wooo hoooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!

Trick or Treat...

We had a great time Trick or Treating last night in our neighborhood....Anthony and Daniel (neighbor) are both 4 (almost 5) and it was so cute to see them go from house to house with no fear....last year they still wanted Mom & Dad close by....

We also had little Mr Pumpkin Head join us for his first Halloween...he looked absolutely adorable....his suit was so soft and fuzzy and he actually left the hood up...

After trick or treating in our neighborhood, Diana & Mom took Edwin to Trunk or Treat...I was too beat by then and we hadn't had any dinner, so they went on without us..sounds like they had a good time...we had dinner and called it an early night...

Enjoy the pics...these were just my favorites...I have about 75 more..haha...gotta love digital!!
