These first 2 pictures are just a BIT sentimental to me and always will me! Its MY place, my very own FIRST place... and my last winter season living here. Ive taken pride in my little apartment with my very own tastes and styles! Ive built great memories here... and have learned so much about life and independance. I wouldnt trade this time in my life for anything. It's been a wonderful time!!

This past Christmas season, I decided to host. We had plans for the whole day. A wonderful spead of a meal with the help of mom's touch ;-) that was absolutely delicious. I helped, of course, but ya know, a mother's touch makes ALL the difference. Thank you mom for ALL your help.
Some, or one tried to challenge the Christmas Story through memorization, but got caught up a few times;-) Then, we spent some time opening gifts from each other. This has always been a memorable time for us. We have our own family routine or tradition in how they are passed out. Love to see the excitement on faces when they recieve something that they were just HOPING to get.
Later in the evening, we went to The Grandparents for homemade pizza and snacks with other relatives!

Little Matthew's first Christmas... and he was just SPOILED ROTTEN. No surprise there though;-)
He has gotten soooo big, so quickly. I love his little personality that has started to devolop. All of his little quirks that he has. I love his giggles, and excitement on his face as someone he loves walks into the room. He seems to love the surprise of people coming to see him.
He was so excited to open up gifts, but got tired rather quickly being surrounded by SOOOO many just for him ;-) Mommy & Daddy had to help out some!
Dad saying Grace prior to the meal... and mom thinking or misbehaving during prayer & I caught it. :-)
Love my Family dearly..
