Tomorrow is the big day!  This is what I call a LIVE blog post! My mom and I are currently baking lots of desserts for tomorrow''s festivities at my Aunt Debbie's house.  On the list of baking items: Nut Rolls, Chocolate Trifle Pie, Mexican Spiced Chocolate Crinkles, and Brownie Peppermint Bark Bars. Here are some photos of us in action. Conor and Caden were big helpers licking the spoons!!! :) Also for a fun toddler treat, I added red and green sprinkles to their every day yogurts..they loved it! We hosted my parents for dinner last night, and opened some presents with the boys. It was real relaxing and fun. The boys loved having them over. We also celebrated with Jim's family last weekend - we had Jim's mother's family party on Saturday afternoon/evening in Worcester and then Jim's dad's family party on Sunday afternoon/evening in NH. There were lots of cousins to play with, which made it real

TGIF! It's been a long week of sickness for the boys - again. At least it's Friday and we have smiles on our faces!! Here we are at the doctor's office Monday night.

I can't believe Christmas is in less than two weeks. I had my work Christmas party for families and their children this weekend...here's our family picture with Santa. Thanks, Kristin!! I love it. :) Conor and Caden were scoping out all the presents from Santa! I think one of them even dove into the sea of presents..... "Criss Cross, applesauce"... Here's Alex and Cal! Huge shout out to both Alex and Kristin for helping out so much with all three boys during the party. Jim and I were able to enjoy ourselves thanks to you two! And thank you to Hope for putting the whole party together. What a fun experience for the kids. Conor and Caden loved seeing Santa (even though they didn't show it) and they love their new presents. :) The boys were sleeping in the same bed the other night - and I thought it was the cutest thing ever. They usually either sleep in their own beds or sometimes switch beds (which confuses me terribly in the middle of
