GI GI AND PAW PAW'S

CHRISTMAS EVE WE GO TO GI GI AND PAW PAW'S HOUSE AND THE BOYS WERE ALL SO EXCITED THEY WOULD NOT EVEN EAT:)! THEY HAD TO DRAW NUMBERS TO SEE WHO GOT TO GO FIRST AND OPEN PRESENTS AND JAX GOT NUMBER 1. HE WAS SO CUTE BECAUSE THIS IS THE FIRST TIME HE REALLY UNDERSTOOD OPENING PRESENTS. YOU CAN SEE IN THE PICTURES HE WAS GRINNING FROM EAR TO EAR. THE AUSTIN GOT TO GO AND AS YOU CAN SEE HE WAS PUMPED! HE GOT A HELICOPTER GAME THAT YOU PLAY ON THE COMPUTER AND LEARN TO REALLY FLY IT. IT IS SUPER NEAT AND HE LOVED IT. HE EVEN GOT HIS OWN HELICOPTER HELMET. NEXT WAS AIDEN AND AT FIRST YOU CAN SEE HE WAS UPSET. HE THOUGHT HE GOT A BABY TOY AND THEN REALIZED IT WAS A LEAP PAD AND HE LOVES IT. HE PLAYS WITH IT NON-STOP AND NOW I HAVE MY I PAD BACK:)! IT WAS A GREAT NIGHT CELEBRATING CHRISTMAS WITH OUR FAMILY!

EXCITED BOYS ON CHRISTMAS EVE!

THIS WAS BEFORE WE HEADED OVER TO GI GI AND PAW PAW'S AND AS YOU CAN SEE THEY WERE VERY EXCITED AND BEING SILLY!

OH MY!!

I HATE GUNS,BUT I UNDERSTAND YOU MUST TEACH THE KIDS ABOUT GUN SAFETY AND ALLOW THEM TO SHOOT WITH ADULTS ONLY. RJ IS VERY GOOD WITH THEM SO I KNOW HE WILL TRAIN THEM INTO GOOD LIL' DEER HUNTERS:)! I DID END UP SHOOTING TOO AND IT WAS FUN,BUT I JUST DON'T LIKE THEM WHEN RJ IS NOT AROUND:)!

MAKING JESUS A BIRTHDAY CAKE!

TELLING SANTA WHAT THEY WANT:)!

AFTER HOURS OF WAITING IN THE LINE BEHIND DOGS WE FINALLY MADE IT TO SEE SANTA! RJ WAS UPSET WE DID NOT HAVE DUKE AND DALLAS WITH US:)! ANYWAYS, IT WAS CRAZY BUT WE MADE IT UP THERE AND THE BOYS WERE SO EXCITED TO TELL SANTA WHAT THEY WANTED. JAX IS NOT SCARED OF HIM ONE BIT AND RUNS RIGHT UP TO HIM. HE JUST SAYS HE WANTS A TOY AND AUSTIN SAYS A REMOTE CONTROL CAR AND AIDEN CHANGES HIS MIND EVERYDAY:)! AFTER THEY ALL FINISHED AND WE WERE WALKING AWAY AIDEN WENT RUNNING BACK UP TO HIM TO TELL HIM ONE LAST THING. HE SAID HE WANTED A MANGER SET. I HAD TO GO AND BYE HIM IS VERY OWN THE NEXT DAY AND HE LOVES IT. THEN HE WAS AT GI GI'S HOUSE AND BROUGHT ANOTHER ONE HOME. HE SAYS HE WANTS COLLECT THEM BECAUSE CHRISTMAS IS ALL ABOUT JESUS AND IF WE DID NOT HAVE JESUS WE WOULD NOT HAVE CHRISTMAS! THEY ALL MAKE MY HEART SMILE AND I PRAY THEY ALWAYS REMEMBER WHAT CHRISTMAS IS REALLY ABOUT!!

RIDING THE REINDEER!

AFTER WE ATE SUPPER WE LET THE BOYS RIDE THE REINDEER WHILE THE SANTA LINE THINNED OUT A BIT! AS YOU CAN SEE AIDEN HAD A NICE KETCHUP STAIN RIGHT ON THE WHITE SPOT OF HIS SHIRT:)! DADDY GOT US SOME TIDE TO GO AND WE GOT IT OUT BEFORE SANTA PICTURES:)!

PJ DAY AT SCHOOL!

THE BOYS HAD PAJAMA DAY AT SCHOOL LAST FRIDAY AND WATCHED THE POLAR EXPRESS AND THEN JAX HAD PAJAMA DAY TUESDAY. HE HAD TO WEAR HIS ELMO JAMMIE'S AND ELMO HOUSE SHOES. HE LOVES THOSE THINGS AND TRIES TO WEAR THEM EVERYWHERE:)! AS YOU CAN SEE AIDEN AND AUSTIN WERE EXCITED AND BEING SILLY FOR THE CAMERA:)!

CHRISTMAS PROGRAM AT CHURCH

SUNDAY THE KIDS SANG IN BIG CHURCH AND THEY ALL DID SO GOOD. AIDEN HAD A SOLO PART IN "AWAY IN A MANGER" AND DID GREAT. I HAVE NO IDEA WHERE THE SINGING COMES FROM,BUT THIS IS HIS SECOND TIME TO SING IN BIG CHURCH AND HE HAS DONE WONDERFUL! AUSTIN IS WORKING VERY HARD ON LEARNING A SONG TO PLAY ON HIS GUITAR BECAUSE HE WANTS TO PLAY IN BIG CHURCH TOO AND JAX IS ALWAYS UP FOR SOME SINGING! I BELIEVE DADDY IS HOLDING BACK ONE OF HIS TALENTS FROM US BECAUSE I PROMISE YOU THE SINGING DOES NOT COME FROM ME! YOU COULD NOT PAY ME MILLIONS TO GET UP IN FRONT OF PEOPLE AND DO THAT,SO I AM VERY PROUD OF THEM ALL! MOST OF ALL THEY ARE SINGING FOR JESUS AND THAT MAKES MY HEART SMILE! I PRAY WHATEVER THEIR GOD GIVEN TALENTS ARE THEY USE THEM TO GLORIFY HIM!

CHRISTMAS PARADE

SATURDAY WE WENT TO THE CHRISTMAS PARADE AND THE BOYS GOT ALL KINDS OF CANDY! THEY WERE SO FUNNY AND WOULD NOT PICK IT UP IF THEY DID NOT LIKE IT,BUT MOMMY MADE SURE THEY PICKED UP ALL THE CHOCOLATE:)! GRIFFIN, KATIE, AND WILL WERE THERE TOO SO THEY HAD FUN PLAYING WITH THEM WHILE WAITING ON THE PARADE TO START!

AIDEN'S CHRISTMAS PARTY!

THANK GOODNESS ALL THE BOYS CHRISTMAS PARTY'S WERE ON THE SAME DAY. SO WE STARTED WITH JAX AND THEN DADDY AND I RAN IN BETWEEN AIDEN AND AUSTIN'S CLASS. THEY ALL HAD SO MUCH FUN AND LOVED THEIR GIFTS THAT THEY EXCHANGED AND THEIR GIFT'S FROM THEIR SWEET TEACHERS. THEY ARE HAVING SO MUCH FUN IN KINDERGARTEN,BUT I THINK THEY WILL ENJOY THE CHRISTMAS BREAK WITH MOMMY AND DADDY:)!

AUSTIN'S CHRISTMAS PARTY!

AUSTIN WAS SO EXCITED TO HAVE MOMMY, DADDY, AND JAX AT HIS PARTY! HE LOVES HIS BUDDIES IN HIS CLASS AND HE MADE ALL HIS CLASSMATES SOME COOKIES TO TAKE HOME! THEY ALSO HAD A COLORING BOOK EXCHANGE AND HE LOVED HIS GIFT!
