I am finally done loading my Christmas pictures...

Looks like they are laughing at something...
guess I interrupted their little laugh...

What do I do with all this hair??


We put up Maya's new tent this past weekend and she loved it

Bryan's new pjs frm MomMom


He thinks he looks like a bumble bee



This is my latest favorite photo of my kids!
They are both looking the same way at me and Bryan has his arm around her without strangling her. They are in my bed.

We also put together Bryan's tool bench together


Yep, it's a craftsman. Just like Daddy's from SEARS


Classic, he's got his drinks



He does not even know we are around, he is seriosly working!

Christmas with The Derienzo's

Bryan and Derek...thanks for the poses, guys

Maya and Aidan, both so cute!

Maya is not sure what to think...Is he going to knock me down this time? Or is this really a hug???

Cathy and Mark gave Bryan this very cool clock

Derek opening


My little ham


Cathy's little ham

Look at our Loot, plus Christmas at Jen and Frank's

Check it out...

Poor Frank, I tried, but I could not get Maya to cooperate because all she would look at was...
Jen and Frank's dogs...Beau and Harley



There's Aunt Jen, thrilled to meet Mayita



She got Bryan(her Godson) this huge Thomas floor puzzle. He loved it@

COFFEE WITH POPPY

I think that all of these pictures speak for themsleves. First you will see Maya at 10 months enjoying coffee...Then you will see Bryan at 10 months not so sure about Coffee!

If you read this and do not know my Dad, he LOVES coffee. It is his water.








Now Bryan........









Our Christmas/New Year's Party at Aunt Lisa's

Cousin Scott got to meet Maya for the first time

Aunt Lisa prepares to serve her stuffed shells


Aunt Janice so enjoyed meeting Maya


...and looks like Maya was comfortable with her too!

The men catch some football

Cousin Sharon with Maya..another huge supporter from the beginning of this adoption process



We did a present exchange where we pulled names and Uncle Joe got this

George actually got my Dad as a Secret Santa and what a great job George did shopping, huh?


Bryan is getting better at pretending that he likes clothing gifts, I think



All you fans of The Office, I got this for my cousin Scott. We never really buy for each other but he just turned 30 and knowing how we both love that show, thought this was so funny. I got it on ebay.


Bryan practicing what Hayden taught him the day before...
that's right , Sponge Bob is on again
He did not fall asleep, but had a nice rest


Scott married Cathy over the summer. That's cousin Cathy in the PSU sweat


Cousin Phil took to Maya

Maya wanted to walk all day


My Mommy and my brother Mike




Maya played the symbols with paper plates, she is so talented, I cannot even begin to yell you


Uncle Joe's brother, Ed and his wife Mimi came in from Miami ,Florida. Here is Ed having a shut-eye


Okay, so here it is...my Uncle Joe is smiling. Bryan is not, my luck:(



Ooh, what a nice chin you have, Ed



My Mom took this photo once we got home New Year's Eve...Maya is not smiling, but I still love it.

It is my screensaver right now.
