Day After Christmas at Anna's

Lot's of eating!!

Cute Ellie!!!  Oh my goodness I love that baby!

Dirty Santa

Karaoke......I told my mom you know you are a redneck if you karaoke at your family Christmas party.  It really was alot of fun though!!!  Lots of laughs.  And the kids thought it was great. 

Of coarse Aunt Gigi leading the madness.  I am surprised she had a voice the following day.  She sang every song that came on.  She is crazy and our family would not be the same without her.  Actually it would be quite boring.

There is nothing like my entire family getting together.  It really could be made into a comedy movie.  At times, Kris just sat back and laughed.  It is crazy.  I LOVE being with everyone.  And my boys LOVE being with their cousins.  Fun times had by all. 

Christmas Day 2009

We had an amazing Christmas.  It was the year of four wheelers, wii's, lionel trains, rubber band guns, swords, nintendo DS's, etc.  Basically you name it and the boys got it.  My parents and Kris's parents were so gracious in their gift giving and Santa helping this year.  It made for a huge Christmas.  There are no words to express how much we appreciate our parents.   We are now enjoying all the new toys and games.  For the first time I can ever remember the boys are happy to entertain themselves (without fighting).  It really has been quite nice.  We shall see how long that last. 

Christmas 2009

We are enjoying the holidays this year.  The boys are the perfect age.  They are super excited and super wild.  We made our first gingerbread house this year.  Hamilton and I had so much fun we decided to make it a Christmas tradition.  The boys are enjoying helping me bake and getting to wrap presents.   It delights me that they take such joy in giving to others.  Samuel is so quick to tell you that Christmas isn't about presents and candy....he says "it is about baby Jesus and the manger".   Jesus is God's perfect gift to us.   We need nothing else.  We truly are blessed.  Merry Christmas!!!!!

Slacker......I know

No excuses for not blogging.  Just the normal crazy life with three wild boys.  Isn't that an excuse enough.  I hope to do better.
