Holiday de-stressing

I had to cut out a few things that were on my holiday to-do list. Unfortunately, sending out Christmas cards was one of those. I did still convince Aaron to take a family picture, but didn't stress about even coordinating clothes (obviously). So here's to holiday de-stressing! Consider this your Lunt family cyber Christmas card! You can print it out if you like and pretend you got it in the mail ;) We love you all and feel so lucky to have some many great family members and friends. We are so blessed!

Merry Christmas &

Happy New Year!

Georgia Cousins!

We're home and unpacked so I can blog again!

Last week we went to Georgia and returned home a few days ago. We had lots of fun seeing family and a few friends. It had been over a year since we had been to Georgia and so all the little cousins looked different and were so grown up. Here are a small portion of the pictures that were taken (I promise, a small portion ;).

Carter is sporting Grammy's pink safari hat.

Olivia loved having such a large audience that actually thought her "jokes" were funny.

Carter eating his breakfast with Papa.

I thought this picture of Aaron's brothers was kinda funny. They love their XBox.

Kirk had a project for the guys...installing an over-the-range microwave. Thanks goodness Jason's head was so handy.

Olivia loved playing with her cousin, Madison, and Jaya (the dog).

"Put the XBox down Daddy, we're ready to go outside!"

I hadn't seen Robyn since we made our last move out of Georgia. Luckily there has been Verizon wireless to keep us in touch.

We also got to visit the Dodson Family. This is Brandy & darling Alana.

The entire Lunt clan made a trip to IKEA. Lincoln found a great place to escape and relax while we were there.

When we were back at Grammy & Papa's house, the toy box was his favorite place to "escape" to.

Hannah is such a cutie.

She goes a mile per minute.

Luckily all the "cousin chaos" doesn't affect Grandpa Bill.

Olivia spent a good portion of her vacation at this table coloring. She loved having a coloring partner though.

Beautiful girls! Bella, Diana & Savannah.

My Christmas giving booboo. Sorry Savannah!

My Christmas craft. Maybe someday I'll make one of these for myself.

All the cousins did a book exchange for Christmas this year. It was a hit - they all seemed to love it.

This one and several to follow are

THE MANY FACES OF BRADEN!

He loved having all these snap shots taken of him!

Kirk and Vicki's neighbor have a park in their back yard. It was a great to get some fresh air.

A highlight of the trip...Monkey Joe's! We were their first customers ever and the kids had a blast!

Carter was just thrilled that they had balls to play with.

Olivia and Carter had a great time in Georgia. It certainly wore them out and they seem happy to be home again. We look forward to next year though.

water and SNOW!

I often find Carter in the bathroom doing something that he probably shouldn't be. No, not playing in the toilet (THANK GOODNESS)...

Standing on top of the toilet, leaning over the sink, turning the (cold) water on,

and fixing his own hair.

Yesterday we received our first snow of the season. From the moment Olivia woke up, she was so excited to get outside and play in it. Finally at 8:30am, I couldn't hold her back any longer!

Carter wanted to be out there too, but he had to wait until the afternoon.

They had lots of fun being pulled around the yard in the sled.

My little snow angel.

I don't think the sled moved an inch.

I even had fun "sledding" around the yard (with two kids on my lap).
