Sorry it has been so long since the last update.
Now let us backtrack to last year...well at least an overview of our holiday season!
December 22, 2010
We joined most of the family and celebrated my parent's 40th anniversary, and renewal of their vows, with a special Mass for the family and friends.
We then went over to my sister Dana's house, where she hosted a most beautiful anniversary reception.
It was such a great time!
This picture was just funny because Jack's Uncle Mike had just swept and cleaned the entire living room and as he put away the broom Jack spit up alot! ha
After this first holiday gathering we went home for much needed rest and relaxation. Richard had been working his crazy hours and was coming down with a horrible cold as Christmas Eve was approaching.
I guess this holiday season goes to show that not everything will always go as planned, which is part of the reason I haven't been too excited to post this update...

The following is a list of things that I would like to think "did not really happen"
- Stressing over getting packed for Christmas Eve.
- Baking and preparing double dishes, as well as last minute dishes, just for kicks and giggles.
- Sending our Christmas Presents out to my family's house to save space in the car.
- Trying on lots of clothes to see what was best for me, daddy and Mr. Jack to wear for Christmas.
- Getting sick with the stomach bug Christmas Eve and making Mr. Jack miss out on his first Christmas with the cousins.
- Having to watch my family via Skype open their gifts while I could barely move on the couch.
However, when I thought the holiday season was becoming full of lows, we had some great highs that made for some great memories. :)

- Jack had his first visit from SANTA!!!
- We experienced our first Christmas together as our own "little" family.
- We hosted Christmas at our house for the Pagels and were very happy to see all who showed up!
- We got to share Christmas with the newest Pagel in the family. :)
- We realized the blessings that Christ has given us through the years and especially this Christmas!
