NO WAY!!!



I took the kids to see the Opry Mills Hotel on Christmas Eve. We saw Santa and then walked around and really just enjoyed each other. It was wonderful! As you can see from the photo, I am the luckiest mom in the world!

This is our makeshift Christmas fireplace and these are the kids who are really not ready to go to sleep but are willing to try!

There that's better!
The kids had a great Christmas. We are so excited for our gift of savings. The kids are looking forward to adding to the collection so that we can get to Disneyworld. Thanks mom and dad. Hopefully you can join us and we can go in May! Wouln't that be cool! As far as the rest of Christmas goes, Price, thank you so much for the ds. It rocked Liam's world literally!

Opening...

Recognizing...


Life is GREAT!!!

I have a feeling this is what I'll find him doing all vacation.

Isa loves her Nutcracker from Liam. She had taken it everywhere. If ever there were a true Clara/Mary it's Isa.


For Christmas Isa recieved an art easel. Emery is determined to make good use of all the blues in her gift

Colin was all smiles today!

Thanks for all your help in making his Christmas amazing! Tim and Audrey, Thank you for the sweet tower of sweets! I haven't heard any coughing today and so I think we are good to dig right in! YES! Santa brought the kids a hidden book nook. It's been fun to watch them enjoy the nook.
We love you all and miss you SO MUCH! Merry Christmas! I am forever grateful that I was born into this family. I know finances have never been easy for us, but whatever wasn't there in the way of the world, we more than made up for with love. In fact if we were to count our wealth in love, I think we are the richest in the land. I love you all.

Merry Christmas!


It's impossible to get a great photo by myself. (Where's my dad when I need him most!) Thank you Maria for the beautiful Christmas dresses! The girls love them! And for everyone else, we love you and miss you and wish we were closer! Merry Christmas!

My little theatre bug!


We loved seeing our little Liam in the Mini-Nutcracker. It was a great experience.

Liam was a party boy.

and the cutest little bon bon!


He had an awesome time performing and really loved the whole experience!

Thankful

Random photos today. The kids are growing up so fast. They are loving school. Liam is ready to perform in the Nutcracker this weekend. Isabelle is color coordinating her outfits, Emery is voicing an opinion with good reason and Colin is getting two more teeth. Each day in my home though filled with mini challenges, is full of blessings.
I am blessed to live in a beautiful home with the man I am sure I have loved all this life and the one before.




My girls love each other.

My boys love each other.


My kids are all such good friends


My Mr Christmas is working so hard to make sure that we have a roof over our heads and a future. Not only that but he takes time to watch chic flicks, decorate the house for Christmas and love our babies.

Colin's new found teeth remind us so much of Emery who just plain old loved to smile with her tongue.

My family both near and far is wonderful! What a lucky girl I am.
