Christmas

Well I finally have a little bit of time to sit and share some photos of our Christmas. We all were very blessed to spend time with our families and to see the kid's faces on Christmas morning. They all were very excited and had a great time with all of their toys. One of the things that Bill and I couldn't stop laughing at was Ben's new gun holster set with his new horsie(that is his name). We tried giving him another name and Ben wasn't having it. The kids all loved Justice's Robosapien too, it does a lot of neat tricks and stuff. Matthew got a lot of neat clothes and some toys too. He was more interested in eating the paper though. Bill and I got a lot of stuff too, but the greatest thing was watching those kiddos and getting together with the family. We had a wonderful Christmas party at Bill's Unlce Davids house where Justice took part as a wiseman in the play. We also had a wonderful Christmas dinner at Trisha's house. Bill also took me out to dinner on my birthday with our friends Kristen and Nathan and her family. We went out to Saddle Ranch by the stadium and then to O Chocolate for dessert. It is a wine and chocolate place that I loved. All and all, things are starting to calm down now. I got the extra bedroom finally put together for Matthew to start sleeping in the crib since he is too big for the bassinet. We will see how it goes.

Merry Christmas

We wanted to wish everyone a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. We are so thankful for so much this year, most of all for our family and friends who have helped us keep our sanity. This year has been a rough one and it is always nice to have family and friends who are there for you and to make you smile...so thank you. We are going into the New Year hoping to be calmer with the kiddos and hoping to have a healthier lifestyle.

Just an update that Matthew is a slink worm moving all around the house, it took me wrapping presents to get him to move. Benjamin is starting to talk off the hook and is doing great with his potty training. Every once in a while we'll have a slip up, but most of all he is doing good. Thank you Tammy for your advice and support. Justice is getting so tall, smart and difficult all at the same time. He is such a great big brother though, I could not ask for anything more. He is always playing with Ben and Matt and is always running around the house helping us out with the kids. He is the greatest big brother anyone could ask for and we are so thankful for that. Bill is still working hard at work and I am finishing up last semesters classes and finally starting my accounting classes. We are enjoying the rain we have been getting for the last couple of days...so exciting!! We love you all and hope you enjoy your Christmas season.
