Mr. Christmas Puggle!

A CHRISTMAS PUPPY! Ok...we all know....I am not a "puppy kind of girl"....with that being said....We got a Puppy! Chase and Macy begged for this little Puggle for a week. Macy's little sister Sable got the puppy's sister....Ruby! I have to admit...he is adorable, but we shall see how it goes....he already has had one accident! Meet little Hef!

Our First Snow

Monday morning we woke up to a surprise snowfall...we only got a little, but the roads were very slick and school was delayed 2 hours!

Cutler and Chance both got 1 early Christmas present....Chase wasn't home so he missed out! Chance knew that his guitar had arrived and here he is almost 20 and still begging to open it early!

Cutler is a BIG BOY! That is how he shows us how big he is! And then he claps!

Sweet as he can be!

He is starting to let go and take a few steps....he will be be 9 months on the 20th....so he is going to be an early walker!

Stephenie Meyer

A Teacher Friend here at the Middle School went to Stephenie Meyer's book signing in Chicago this past September. We put a picture up in the library....the girls are just fascinated by the Twilight books! Even those girls who never read, will read Meyer's books! I think the movies have sparked alot of interest also. And Ohhhh that Jacob!

Ho Ho Ho

Cutler is so excited about all of the Christmas lights and wrapping paper and bows! It is fun to see the magic in their eyes.....

Cousin Steve's Christmas House!

Steve and Debbie always have the prettiest house in town for Christmas! He is just like Cousin Eddie...we always tell him that...he goes all out! I drove the twins down by the house to see it...they loved all of the lights and the deer in the yard...they wanted to shoot them!

Perfect Christmas Weekend....

Wheew......what a weekend...that is about all I can say! Saturday, we did a little more decorating, then headed to the mall to visit Santa. They had their list all ready, but Levi only asked for a bow and arrow and Josiah asked for a Star Wars Sword! They were soooo tired.....fell over asleep on the way to the mall! I may fall over tonight myself!!!!! Novalee and Daddy stopped to pick them up and they are on their way back to Kentucky.....

Tree Trimming Party!

My Very First Christmas Ornament! From a Elderly lady at Spice Vally Church, where my Grandpa preached.
Josiah and Levi.....soooo ready for Santa!

The Gingerbread House....we build one every year...they are getting good at it!

Taking their time to make it perfect!

Frosty!

Levi

Black Friday was a busy fun Christmas Day! I got up around 3:30 am and met Jennifer at Walmart! CRAZY! She bought tons for the kids...I bought 1 thing! Then we headed to Bloomington....CRAZY! And it is always crazy on the Friday after Thanksgiving...but sooo much fun! I got home around 1:00 pm...took a half hour nap....and put the tree up! Just in time for Levi and Josiah to arrive to help me decorate! Then we made our annual Gingerbread House! We fell asleep watching the Grinch! It is amazing how much fun Christmas is when you have little ones around to help you remember the REASON FOR THE SEASON!
