Goodbye 2011 - Helllllo 2012

New Years Eve..... was nice and relaxing!  We stayed home and ate yummy food, watched movies and did fireworks with Papa, Grandma Cilla and Nathaniel. 

Steve smoked some meat and I took care of all the sides. 

It was great, Papa and Cilla treated us to fireworks and the meat.

Hunter loved the fireworks, Henry NOT SO MUCH...

he cried a ton and we had to take him in so 

he wouldn't be scared anymore.

We watched the movie "The Help" and it ended at the perfect timing.

We watched 2011 end and rang in the 2012 new year together.

Hunter took off running when Nataniel lite one of the fire works.... it was hilarious and then of course the firework went under Papa's car... yeah that was not cool.  Oops!

Hunter was having FUN!

 

New years day was spent hanging out as a family... the boys had a great time playing ALL day in there PJ's with there new remote control cars, pushing trucks, and drawing with the chalk. 

It was the most perfect weather!  Just great for us to spend time together... 

mommy even got a good long nap.  :)

Merry Christmas Steve!

Santa brought Steve 5 tickets to the
Champ Sports Bowl.

(I totally got the hookup from a friend off of Facebook for the tickets!  Completely Free! It was awesome)  Thanks Bree!!!!!

Florida State  vs Notre Dame

Bethany came and watched the kids for us and we headed to Orlando, met up with our friends Racheal and Alex for some lunch and football!!!

The seats where awesome!  50 yd line.... oh yeah ba-by!

This is the only time I will cheer for a Seminole and let me tell ya the end of the game was pretty exciting... that is for a girl...that isn't a huge football fan anyways.  But it really was fun to be with my honey and see him happy!


Rachel and I are both Gator Fans so it was true love for sure to cheer for a stinky Seminole... ha ha

Big smiles all around for the Seminoles!  Everyone had a great time.

CHRISTmas Morning!!!!

Santa Claus CAME to town!!!!!

Jocelyn loved all the goodies Santa left for her.

Henry spotted the remote control car first.

Hunter checking out his stocking goodies from Santa.  He got toystory washing supplies for the shower, wii games, candy, angry birds shirt, and movies.  He MUST have been a good boy!  :)

Auntie Emily checking out Braxtons new train set.  Braxton  was so excited.

DS ba-by!!!!   Hunter was sooooo excited that Santa left a DS for him. He asked him specifically for it. 

We had a blessed Christmas!!!!

Breakfast is served.....  Snowman Pancakes!!!

Desssssert anyone!

Dinner is served.... 

what a delicious spread of food.

Our Christmas dinner was celebrated with our friends Dave and Kathy Thomander and there daughters. 

It is always great to have family over also.  Dad, Priscilla, Nathaniel and Amber all came with Dad. 

And of course Emily, Eli and the kiddos.

Christmas Eve.... Nunez/White Family Fun

Christmas with the Nunez family was wonderful! Peaceful, easy going, fun and magical for the kiddies. We all laid low and hung out at the White House...We did venture out just enough to get the kids all geared up for Christmas eve and all that surrounds that. Lights, Santa, Baby Jesus stories, Bonfire,S'mores and hot chocolate.

The Dads!  Always have to have a football in hand. Steve and Eli were super awesome and they watched the kiddos while Emily and I went and ran some last minute errands.  I loved having my sister time.

The kids jumped none stop for 2 days... it was perfect weather and
let them get there energy out.  Lots of it! :)

And we are off..... the kids loved exploring!  Braxton was all about mowing the yard, Hunter only wanted to push the big truck and the kids looked adorable on the fence trying to see what was down the road.  Of course the "white" boys never have there shoes on!!  They LOVE to be bare foot!

Hot Momma Emily!

Wrestle time with Auntie Emily and big loves from Braxton!!!

Christmas Lights galore!!  We went to the pond outside of NFRMC and walked around.  The kids LOVED all of the lights.  It really was beautiful seeing all the decorations and listening to music.

Awwww Em and Eli are such a cute couple..... Braxton is a little mini Eli!

I was showing Henry the deer that light up and change color...

The kids where in awwww since the lights kept going on and off.  It was just magical for them.  The best part was when they tried to ROLL down the little hills in between the decorations.  I'm sure it was the White boys that started it.  ha ha

Emily and Eli got engaged at this exact tree!

Awwwww My loves~

On the way home we decided to stop and see this one street that had lights all up and down it... they literally had candles lighting the way.  It was very festive and guess who we found at one of the houses, oh yes, good ol Saint Nick! 

This guy was the perfect Santa and the crazy part was that he was Braxtons age when HIS dad started being Santa on this street.  I told Steve if we are in town than I would love to start making this a tradition for sure.  They where so nice and the kids told him all the things they asked for AGAIN.

Merry Christmas From the White Family.
(Henry WOULD NOT go to Santa so we had to stick to a family photo)  :(

Hunter actually added a DS to his list when he was talking to Santa... it was a GOOD thing that Santa wrote that down.... (p.s. Hunter was one happy boy Christmas morning....) 

We finished the night off with a story about Jesus birth, bonfire and s'mores.  The Hunter, Jocelyn, and Braxton enjoyed the fire.  Henry did want anything to with it.  (I guess that is a GOOD thing, he won't play with matches and fire). 
Auntie Emily read the book and Auntie Alicia was in charge of the putting together the s'mores.
It was a perfect Christmas Eve!!
