Christmas Morning, 2014
Our Romey girl in our manger - yearly tradition since kids were itty bitty
(well, it used to be a baby doll clothed as Baby Jesus)
My four babies...half-way grown up now. Ready to come down to begin the festivities.
They love this dog. I mean....REALLY love this dog.
Ella's long awaited "Taki's" - spicy fried chip thingy's that I refuse to buy. That's what makes Christmas special. ;-) The box also had a hot glue gun and some new books.
New monogrammed makeup bag...my girl's grown' up. She even asked for nice make up this Christmas...and I mean nicer make up than her Momma even uses.
All Owen asked for, dreamed about, thought about and talked about this year:
POKEMON
Will has been wanting to try "real" maple syrup, but I told him it was super pricey...thus, he got a mini bottle in his stocking - ha! :D
Garth Brooks txs for my Love...
Abby did the sweetest thing for Ella. A brown bag with "a few of her favorite things" because of Ella's love for the Sound of Music movie. She bought her a clear mascara and a Godiva bar.
The Bro's with their new UA bags
Mimi giving a double tickle
As many know, December is a challenging month for me. I have worked 15 years to teach my children to focus on the reason for the season...this is not an easy task for anyone, including myself. The to do list is beyond, our family calendar is overwhelming, it truly all becomes a blur. I even took the wrong gifts to a family event due to the brain cell reduction that occurs during this 12th month.
Amidst it all, I still was able to see Christ's light glimmer through the chaos.
He is, and will always remain, my rock and my salvation.
Happy Birthday my Savior...may You be glorified through this crazy thing called my life.
