Happy Boy :)
We got a few family pics before going to GG's House --
And then it was time for present mania to begin!Mom was so happy with her gift - a portrait of her grandbabies! This gift stays at GG's house - fabulous idea!PG was working hard to open a gift --and then go back for another one :)Yes, just what every girl dreams of . . . Lost in a sea of madness -Enjoying their new table after everything calmed down (and got cleaned up)!

More Christmas Cheer

Brayden Mynor was so happy to wake up one morning and find this train all ready to go!

Daddy was a hero that day :)

Uh-oh! Major derailment . . .Wonder how that happened . . . Par Par!Back on track

Nana Buke, Jordan, Brayden, Tia, & JazzyThe Sunday before Christmas, we went to visit my grandparents and Michael's family. Unfortunately, I didn't get any pictures (thanks to the hunk-o-junk that I call a camera). It was a very fun day, and the kiddos were so good!

Parker loves this puppy that she got from Mims & Paps :) On Christmas Eve we went to GG's House to hang out.

My Little Handsome

Silly babies :)I just love these 2!Trying to pose -- What is Brayden doing with the bow?
That's better -- but where did Parker go? Opening a few gifts on Christmas Eve night

Southern Lights

We started our Christmas celebration in early December by going to the Horse Park to see the lights. Tia, Brayden, and Parker had such a great time! We drove through the lights, and then braved the cold for a while so that we could see some other fun stuff :)

Parker G crying because she had to wait in lineNow it's PG's turn :)Bray was so thrilled to see the model train displays!I am sure that he would have liked to stay there for days :)Parker really liked the big room of blocks . . .and the petting zoo.

The kiddos have seriously enjoyed all of the Christmas lights this year. We've spent several evenings driving around the neighborhoods looking at lights, and Brayden Mynor would shout with glee at every lit up house or Christmas tree. Last night we were driving home, and he was so happy to see a few houses with their lights still up. . . in between those, he would say, "Uh-oh, all gone." I hope he is not too disappointed when they are all gone!

Merry Christmas

We wish you all a Merry Christmas and a wonderful holiday season!

Our family will be celebrating the birth of Jesus with lots of joy and cheer :)

Feliz Navidad, Mis Chulos!

It's Christmas time again but you're not home

Your family is here and yet you're somewhere else alone

So tonight I pray that God will come and hold you in His arms

And tell you from my heart, I wish you Merry Christmas

(From "Merry Christmas" by Third Day)

I am very sorry that I could not keep my promise from last year, but I am still trying. We love you, and we want to bring you home so badly!

Next year, my boys - I pray that I will wish you a Merry Christmas right here at home :)

Please Pray

This is so heartbreaking and so confusing. . .

I love these little turkeys SOOOOOOOOOO much!

FFF - For Crying Out Loud

I've haven't done a FFF in a while, but this theme is just too cute to pass up. I can't wait to show these to Parker G when she is older. Although she is happy 99% of the time, she can be a real drama queen when she wants to :)
