  i’m up late …. the computer ate a christmas project i was working on ….. and i’ve just spent the time to redo it.

  the first post on facebook at 1:18am was a youtube clip about newton, connecticut. i’ve played it several times.

  we have 6 year old. we also have a 7 year old.

  there are moms all the way across the country who don’t anymore …

  i wonder what they’ll do with already bought christmas presents.
  or maybe they had airline tickets for a christmas family vacation.
  or maybe they hadn’t taken their christmas card picture yet ….

  man, i’m glad God is bigger.

  christmas is coming along here. the kids are out of school. we’re reading an exciting book that goes along with the advent this year. we’ve been to plays. we’ve been shopping. we’ve been stressed : )

  
  
  we were asked to be a part of a christmas program at church. back in october i didn’t think it’d be a big deal to come up with a little something ….. that was in october, now it’s december! rex’s kids ad-lib very well ; )

  i feel like i repeat myself sometimes in posting these …. but amie doesn’t instagram & obviously we need to explain to her why we took each one – so for amie …..

  • well this is just dolly & frosty
  • benny made his bed ‘just like dad’, was totally proud of himself & wanted me to send a picture to rex
  • did i tell you we got a dog? he showed up one morning & hasn’t left. his name is charlie
  • benny stood just like that once  … in that crib, wearing those zippys, smiling – i had to take a picture
  • 3 guesses who drew that & the first 2 don’t count
  • he took the girls to the nutcracker …. i was almost jealous : )
  • pink joseph & blue mary were taking a trip, i guess
  • that was the pound cake ….
  • he’s got mad climbing skills, especially with his jumper – it was the first time rex saw him do it & he was smiling for him
  • well you know what those are …. you can just call it christmas on your bum : )
  • that’s our tree … at night … in black & white ….
  • i have aspiring goals for those!
  • it was probably a tie over who was prouder – rex, for tying it up or roo, for keeping it there : )
  • they were playing ring around the rosies with rosie …. yes it was that beautiful
  • obviously she gets her fashion sense from you
  • i know, he’s crazy adorable : )
  • this one …. you just woulda had to of been there
  • chady was tickled to be at the table & regan was tickled to have him there
  • the sister friends in their seats waiting for the nutcracker to start
  • debbie insisted i send you this for shock value & proof
  • well that’s rex : ) at lowes : ) pushing our tree in to pay for it : )

  • she said it was the 1st time i’d ever bought her a happy meal, i believed her
  • and i know …. this is hard to believe …. i took my 6 children to mcdonalds, bought them all happy meals & let them play all over the play place. they had fun.
