Merry Christmas!

It's Christmas Eve. We went to a Christmas Eve service and I just took some cinnamon rolls out of the oven. Yummy!

I think we are ready for the morning. The kids are excited to give and receive gifts. They are all sleeping right now. The oldest is on antibiotics for an ear infection, #2 girl is on antibiotics for a sinus infection and the little guy had a temp of 101.5 when he went to bed. I hope they are all well enough by morning to enjoy Christmas Day.

We will be here in the morning and then head to "Auntie's house" for dinner and the afternoon. My husband and his dad are going to replace Auntie's basement steps tomorrow - fun project for the afternoon after a big dinner and some gift giving.

Hope all of you who read this blog have a wonderful Christmas and Happy New Year!


A friend gave us this nativity and the kids like playing with it.

We got a real Christmas tree this year.

Big Boy's Birthday

Today is the big guy's eleventh birthday. The pictures below were taken on Saturday when we celebrated.




The game he's so excited about is Risk 2210. He and his dad took off for Starbucks after breakfast and played for 3 hours. Then they played again in the afternoon and again after dinner.
