Christmas time is here... :)

The Sims are headin' to South Carolina this Christmas to celebrate the holiday with Grandma Banks and The Park Family! Joshua and I are very excited as it will be my 1st SC Christmas and Joshua's 1st since he was 7 years old! We know Grandma is thrilled as well. Can't wait to see everyone!!!

To avoid lugging our gifts down south we decided to celebrate here in NH a week early. Hope you enjoy the pics of The Sims Fakes-mas! :-)

Twas the night before Fakes-mas...


This isssssssssss The Polar Express! We're thinking about making this an annual Christmas Eve tradition for our family. We love this movie!  :)

Under the tree before they all got shipped off to CA... 

Fakes-mas morning! Rufus getting his stocking.

Playing with my new camera lens Santa brought me... He brought me a couple new lenses, filters, an extra battery, memory card and cleaning kit. Now I just need to figure out how it all works! :)

More treats??? Pretty please. 

We went to Portsmouth that evening for sushi and the Candlelight Stroll held at the Historic Strawberry Banke Museum

Playing Xmas songs... so fun!


Cheers!




The Strawberry Banke is made up of a bunch of old historic homes and tells the stories of the many generations who settled in Portsmouth, New Hampshire "Puddle Dock" community from the late l7th to the mid-20th century.There were actors reenacting in each home... it was pretty neat.

George Washington once sat in this room. Gave me the chills!
