A very Happy Family Christmas

We enjoyed our Christmas!  It was enjoyable from begining to end.
Grandma and Grandpa came over Christmas Eve.  We had a scrumptious dinner and exchanged gifts.  It is always a special time.  We also got to speak with Aunt Kathy, in TX.

 

 

 

 

Christmas morning we fixed a big breakfast of eggs, bacon, monkey bread and orange juice.  A real treat.  After a time of scripture reading we do our gifts.  It is always fun to watch the kids open surprises.  However, Stevthe and I always enjoy even more watching them give the gifts they have picked out for siblings.  With anticipation on their faces as the sibling receives and unwraps their gift.  ALWAYS, ALWAYS delightful!

 

 

 

We are abundantly blessed here with our family.  Even more so with Our Saviors love for us.  We love to celebrate that!

December...

It is Christmas Eve!
The younger kids are excited and full of energy.  Grandma and Grandpa will be comming over this evening for our Christmas time together.  We always enjoy the eevening!

Our December has been FAST!  At the begining of the month Savanna, Brook, Ryleigh and I went to New Market, VA to visit with Kim Yeatts and Debbie Hunt (as well as Sadie, Esther and Mikayla) at their parents cabin.  It was a short time, but we all enjoyed the get away.

 

 

 

It was the weekend of my Birthday and we came home to surprises from Crystal, Cindy, Zack, Matthew and Steve.  Decorations, Dinner, cake and pie, and new curtains!!  I was very spoiled!

 

We plowed through with schooling and are now taking our Christmas Break.  Our time of working at Classical Conversations is on break too, as well as swimming and Awana.  :)

 

Always Lego activity happening!

 

We watched the Drown's dogs one weekend.  We brought Molly over to see how she and Max got along.  Molly was definately the boss!

Decorating for Christmas 

 

Max was not much help! 

 

I found this set up one day in the family room.  Zack said it was King Herod's men searching for the baby Jesus......
