Friends Christmas 2014

For the past 5 years we've been getting together with some of our friends and their kids.  Crazy to think that 5 years ago, it was just 2 kids, Reese and Mya.  Kel was prego with Gracie at the time too and Rach was about to get knocked up with Willie, lol!  Now, 5 years later and we've got 8 kids (going on 9)!  It's so fun to get together and see the kids play.  Love you girls (and guys) and all our kiddies so much.  Thoroughly enjoy this holiday tradition and I know the kids do too.   

The big girls.

Tried to bribe the kids to smile with the promise of gifts.  Ky didn't care!  Poor boo, this was the only pic I got with her in it.  

I need to photoshop Ky in one of these.

The 3 older sisters.

I just can't take this pic.

Love them so much.

I wish I had a video of when Brookie opened these my little ponies and kept screaming in joy, "PONIESSSSS, PONIESSSSSS!!!!!"  I love it!

Ash and Lily about to break it down.

These 2 are so on the same page, it cracks me up.  They are literally the male/female versions of eachother.  I love to watch them.

Some of the girls wanted to jump in too.

The hotties!  lol

Mom, look Kylie and I have matching jackets.  That's enough to snap a pic of those 2 cutie pies.  Will wanted to jump in too, lol.

STOP!

BFF, from the start....like I'm talking 3 months old!

Under one of Eric's amazing palm trees.  Can we move in with you guys?

So much fun, so many memories.  Next year there will be one more, sweet little Jacob Anthony!!!!  Willie will have another dude!

December birthday celebrations

I always love kicking off the month of December with the December birthday celebration at the Bea casa.  They're always all decorated for Christmas and it's just the start of all the fun gatherings with family.  We actually started off the weekend by going out that Friday night to celebrate my bro-in-law, Jimmy's 25th birthday at Stage House. 

 Brothas, LOVE LOVE LOVE this pic.

 We had so much fun.  I, obviously, had too much to drink cause I never get out and when I do, I take full advantage.  Plus, Ry had to work on Saturday so I knew he'd only have a beer and be my DD! 

Saturday, we headed out to PA to celebrate the birthday's of Jimmy, Gigi and RyRy. 

Trying to get a pic of these 4 cutie pies.   

 silly faces

The other cousins that were downstairs jumped in too!

So so cute seeing them all together, they just all get along so well.  Making so many amazing memories. 

 The love of my life. 

 Love this pic. 

 Mya getting a wonderful life lesson from Gigi on how to put the wine charm onto her glass! LOL!

 Making all their wishes....

 Dessert time!!!!

 Looked over at this one and literally can't get over how big and gorgeous she is.  She pulled her braid out and the waves, the skinny jeans, the plaid shirt, standing on her tippy toes, I just can't get over this girl and how much I love her.

 Daddy and his big girl.

 Cousin love, so so cute.

 I can't!

 Being a little ham in front of the tree.

 Mimi always goes all out on her Christmas trees, they always look like they were straight out of a magazine. 

 Really tried to get a Christmas card pic, fail....

 Tried to get a cute cousin pic by the tree too, the smiles weren't spot on.... 

 But the love was alllllll there.

I mean, they're just so cute.

 Mimi asked them if they wanted some early Christmas presents.  She always hooks her girls (and guys) up.  She bought them upstairs and they were pumped!

 She got them all coordinating navy blue dresses for Christmas day!  LOVE IT!!!  The girls absolutely LOVED them and immediately put them on to twirl around.

 The 3 smaller ones.

 Selfies, lol.

Can't wait for the next few parties to come. xoxo

Happy birthday Magdalin Annie

Mags just celebrated her 20th birthday!  Crazy to think that she's 20.  I remember babysitting her a few times when we were little.  It's also weird to think that she was 5 when Ry and I started dating?!!  WOW!  It's so lame that she'll be in Vegas for her 21st.  Not so lame for her, but for us it will be!  I still can't believe that you're leaving but you need this and know that it'll be so good for you.  We love you so much Magdalin Annie (as Mya and Ash like to call you). 

I hope all your birthday wishes came true.  Love you tons cuz.
