Merry Christmas!

Well I know that this is a little late, but i wanted to be sure to post some pictures from our day. We had a great day!!! I had been praying for good weather and safe traveling for everyone and it really was the perfect day. Thank you so much to all of our family for traveling out, just for the day, to spend Christmas with us we had so much fun!! It really meant a lot to us!



Here is the note the girls left Santa, notice that they left him Mountain Dew, Daddy though that would give him an extra boost to get through the night.


Every year on Christmas Eve the girls get new jammie, so here is a picture of the girls on Christmas Morning in their new matching jammies.


We took pictures before lunch, which worked out better than before gifts!


Here is my sister and her family, the girls were so excited to have their cousins here!



Here is my mom and dad with all the kids!


Here are the girls with Jeremy's parents!

This is Jeremy's Grandma, all the way here from Arkansas. We were all really glad to have her here!

Looks like they are having a race.....we tried keep the gift opening a little more organized, not sure it was a complete success, but it was a little better than in years past!

In the afternoon we had a Wii bowling tournament. We all had a great time bowling. I won't mention any names, but there was a winner and a prize of $5.00 and it wasn't me!

One more picture with Great Grandma...

It is good to know that we are apart of a family who all believe in the real reason for Christmas and as Myah would say Jesus is no longer a little baby, which is so true the story doesn't end in the manger. I am so thankful for the sacrifice that God sent His only son that day over 2000 years ago and that is why we celebrate Christmas! I hope that all of you had a great Christmas as well!

From our home to yours....

Welcome to our home at Christmas. When I heard that Boomama was going to be having a Christmas Tour of Homes , I thought that sounded like so much fun because so many of our family and friends aren't able to make it out to visit us during the Christmas season. So here are a few pictures of our home decorated for Christmas. As you walk in our front door we have this little tree sitting in our entry way As you can see I really like snowman! This is leading into the family room... This tree is in our family room and it is decorated with all of our family ornaments. Each year we buy the girls an ornament that represents something from the year for that child. It is a tradition that I have continued from my childhood. My favorite ornaments are the ones that are homemade by the girls! This is our big tree that is more formally decorated and is in our living room. This is our third year with an artificial tree which is definitely less messy but we have had lots of fun with the pre-lite l

1 Year Later

Just the other day I was looking back at some of my posts and realized that I started our family blog 1 year ago this month. I can't believe it has already been a year. My first post was about celebrating the 4th of July at Mark and Jane's. On Friday we will be heading out to Mark and Jane's for another great 4th with our friends. I have really enjoyed keeping up with our family blog. I hope that you have also enjoyed reading each of my posts. My main reason for doing this blog was to keep in touch with our friends and family through various postings. I know that there are many of you who at one point or another have said to me that you have read our blog, I am just curious who is out there and reading this. So....in honor of our 1 year anniversary if you are reading this....please leave us a comment letting us know.
