a HUGE catch up post!

It's safe to say that I am ridiculously behind on blogging. And I mean really behind. Considering this is my family's scrapbook, I am kicking myself for not sitting my booty in front of the computer to get it done. While I enjoyed a long blogging break, I savor these precious memories. I did have a little help in being behind (besides the holidays, of course). A few weeks back, I went to load the pictures off my camera to our computer, somehow pulled the wrong cord, and BAM, wiped everything out. When I say everything, I mean all 26,000+ pictures that were currently on our computer. Cue tears and me completely freaking out. We have it backed up, and we couldn't find them on the back up drive either. Not my favorite day. Needless to say, they have been recovered but we (Sean) are still trying to get everything back in it's rightful place. Whew.

Anyways, it's been a fun holiday season. I am hoping to get all of the posts done, but just incase :)!

Back in Columbia.. Santa stops here!

(Chloe's stash had a string to the outside... Santa somehow managed to fit a trampoline in his sleigh)

And finally, Christmas morning at the Branch house! Merry Christmas!

The aftermath!

Whew. I'm tired from all that. And if you made it this far... you probably are too! 

Hope your holidays were filled with JOY!
