Christmas Morning

We hit the jack pot this year at DI!

We found all kinds of cheep games, movies

books, and toys!

The kids were happy just to open presents.

Dan with his star wars book!
Lydia with her princes movie!
Russ with his train book!

Light savers!

Dress up clothes from

Grandma Brandley!

Dan the Cowboy & Russ the Pirate!

The kids had a blast finding Ethan some

gifts at the dollar store.

The Jackson side gave us great gifts too.

Thanks everyone, we feel so spoiled!

We had such a wonderful holiday seeing all

our extended family, exchanging neighbor

gifts, taking food to the food pantry, and

helping Santa with some undercover

elf work as a family!

(we also received a wonderful

anonymous envelope -thanks)!

It just goes to show that no matter

what we do we will always be

in the Lord's debt.

I love this season and hope that my

kids will have wonderful memories

& carry with them a love of serving

and helping others. And continue

meaningful traditions that bring us

close to Christ by becoming

more like him!

Bright Lights & Big Smiles!

Our "Christ" trees

"Big E"

"Lydia Lou"

These two are so naturally happy.
Lydia is soooooooo excited for

the Big Day...

Quick get away!

This year we built Frosty on the motorcycle

so that if it warms up he can make a

quick get away. LOL

Doing Time

The twins were in time out...
but instead of calming down...

They were climbing up their closet...

This was the funnest time out they have had

since climbing out their bedroom window.

LOL What will they think of next!

Merry Christmas!

From all of us to you!
