happy holidays! {from the nerds}

the holidays 2010
well, dusty closed the doors of his company of almost 15 years- pro look sports. we sold our house, pulled the kids out of school, and are moving to a commune in montana to grow organic food, raise animals, and live in peace with the universe. ok, maybe not…changed our minds once we realized there was no indoor plumbing. anyway, i wanted to start this letter with something more interesting than, “this economy sucks, happy holidays…how are you?!?”
for those of you saying, “but dusty & jane, your christmas letter is the most exciting part of my family’s christmas celebration and we look forward to it with joyful glee and anticipation” please get a life!

where we are.
{greetings from mexico.}
we are spending our afternoons by the pool, at the beach, by another pool, by another beach, by another pool, by another beach. repeat. repeat. repeat. {for two weeks!}
life is good.
life was best for my moosey when we discovered they had set-up new soccer goals down on the beach.
her birthday is next week, and she is now requesting we play sand soccer all day for her!
the sand crab,
caught by big papi,
created some big smiles from our little munchkins…
my funny honey.

panini’s and gingerbread houses…

tradition. i obsess over traditions…
our annual thaanum {my moms-side-of-the-family} family christmas party.
the menu always changes, but the activity remains the same.
gingerbread houses!
{want a great item to put on your christmas list? add this!}
we love it around here,
and it was used again last weekend at the family party.
my secret-panini ingredient – this.
seriously.
don’t question me.
add those stackers with muenster cheese…
and whatever else you love,
the combination makes panini’s magical.
and,

happy belated birthday…

to my mom!
{last week}
she’s rockin’ 73!
we celebrated texas-roadhouse style and
at home with a little poinsettia party!
{warning: texas roadhouse has rolls that are almost krispy kreme donuts.}
this is what you do, when you don’t have the right candles. “72 + 1”

santa
December 4, 2010
we have a family tradition of visiting santa at our local mall ever year.
{previous years, here, here, and here!}
he’s magical, this santa has a real white beard, real white mustache, and white hair. can you imagine spending your entire golden years looking like santa?!? all year long! if he has grand kids, they must think grandpa is the coolest guy in town.
kiana would like a new laptop, hers died this year.
myla has no idea what she wants. maybe an iphone, maybe money to save for things she wants,
