A Very Merry Christmas

Somehow I hurt my back so I was not on my "A" game this Christmas with pictures. That and also I am still trying to figure out how to take non-blurry pictures with my new camera. This is the best picture I got of all four together:(

 

 

Brenna at 12 years old still believes in Santa and swears she always will. She wrote him the sweetest letter the night before and he actually wrote back. As she read it she even got tears in her eyes:) I love how one minute she is all grown up and to cool for her own good then the next she is still just a little girl believing in Santa Claus.



 

 

Santa must of really liked that letter to leave her Ugg boots.

 

It was so much fun watching the boys open their stockings and gifts.

I love seeing the excitement in there faces....

 

 

And in their voices....

Colt kept yelling ..

"Oh. My. Goodness." and "WOW" and "Thank you Santa"

Then he would say.. "This is the best Christmas EVER!!"

 

 

AWE-SOME!! Two pairs of Uggs

 

 

Lilly was a little overwhelmed. She was super excited about her Pound Puppy though.

 

He is so excited.. Jumping up and down

 

 

 

Lilly was not to sure about all the craziness going on around her.

She was happy with the cookie that Santa left behind and watching her sister and brothers act crazy:) 

 

 

When we would ask Colt what he wanted for Christmas he would say "A big, big BIG fire truck" When he opened this he said "WOW! Thanks Santa".. 

 

 

Jeff is such a big kid.

He was so excited over his Tigger

 

The kids playing with their toys

 

This train set had me so stressed out. It took a hour to put together and as soon as we were not looking Lilly tore took it apart. I do not know who cried more.. Me or Colt:)

 

 

Lilly got the Baby Alive that walks.

She thinks it is the funniest thing. She gets the baby to walk and then Lilly dances with it.

 

 

Oliver thinks he is just the coolest with his swords

 

 

Lilly got a Doc McStuffins doctor kit. Colt is the one who had fun playing with it though. He gave every one in the house a check up.

 

 

Again, I did not feel well and just did not get good pictures. These are blurry, but 

 

 



More Star Wars toys

 

 

DR. Colt making his rounds... Again!

 

My parents came over for dinner, but sadly my battery died on the camera so I did not get more pictures. I just love spending time with my mom. She really is one of the most special woman I know.I was extra thankful that she did most of the cooking. As great as everything was, there is always a hole when Sara is not with us.

They hurried off and found both Mary and Joseph, and the baby who was lying in the feeding trough. After seeing them, they reported the message they were told about this child, and all who heard it were amazed at what the shepherds said to them. But Mary was treasuring up all these things in her heart and meditating on them. The shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all they had seen and heard, just as they had been told.

Luke 2:16-20

So thankful for God's gift of Jesus this Christmas season!
