Happy ONE MONTH Caroline!

I can't believe my baby girl is one month today, time has flown by!

Twice the Families, twice the fun!

Sunday the majority of the gang went to the Cardinals vs. Seahawk football game, sorry Seattle folks, the Cardinals pulled off the win! After the game we all met up for dinner at Fudruckers! It has been so neat to have the whole Stover and Maurer crew here this holiday season! The Maurer gang

Christmas AGAIN!

Saturday morning Patrick, Caroline, Tommy and I woke up and drove over to the Stovers to see the Kanes and the Michael Stovers who arrived late friday night! AND....to celebrate Christmas all over again...SO FUN! After opening gifts, which took quite some time, we headed to Wickenburg to visit with the ENITRE Stover clan and introduce them all to Caroline!

Here are a few snapshots of the madness! All the boys with their new shoulder pads

Barbers and Bowling

Friday after Christmas the Barber family (Matt, Maria, and Lila) and Damon came over to visit! It was so good to see the Barbar's as we have not seen them in a few years! Lila is two and a half, and it was our first introduction to her, which is just crazy! She is just a doll and looks just like her daddy! We had a fun night of catching up and ended it with an intense bowling competition! The whole bowling crew with the trophy!

WONDERFUL CHAOS!

Christmas Day my two brothers, SIL, nephew and dad arrived, and off we went to the Stovers to open gifts and eat! What fun to have my entire family in town! We had the traditional Stover Christmas day meal of roast, potatoes, and yorkshire pudding, it was super yummy! Susie even made a suprise cake for dessert! Brody awaiting the opening of gifts

Christmas EVE

Santa comes tonight, I hope we are not on the naughty list! From the looks of the number of presents under our tree we were REALLY REALLY GOOD!
Tonight my In-Laws, SIL Laura, my Mom, Patrick, Caroline, and I all went to mass and had a super yummy dinner of Filet, cheesy potatoes, stuffed peppers, and creme brulee to kick off the festivities!
Tomorrow my brothers Jimmy and Tommy, Dad, SIL Kristen, and nephew Brody all get here! We can't wait to see them and introduce them to Caroline!
We LOVE this time of year!
