Here it is, a month exactly to the day that I posted last! aaaahhhhh! I have had such high hopes of posting more frequently, but to tell you the truth I have NO IDEA where the month of December went! We had a great month by far, but it went way too fast! We started the holiday season out by making ornaments for our tree.......(which at this point I cannot find the camera card that I used for this event ;( ) They turned out so cute! I decided very early on that this year I was not going to worry about all the bulbs on my tree getting broke this year! IF you remember from last year, between the cat and Ethan, we lost almost every bulb that was on our tree! lol Ethan thought they were balls....he would take them off one by one and throw them! only for them to shatter on the floor ~ well, not this year! We made salt dough ornaments and painted them. The kids loved doing this and they turned out GREAT!
We had a wonderful Christmas! To go through the whole thing would put you all to sleep, so I will let the pictures speak.......Our Christmas Eve starting at my mom and dad's with eating dinner!
Then the fun BEGAN! Opening presents!
Ethan opening a singing card from all of my aunts......with gift cards to SPLASH LAGOON! Our most FAVORITE PRESENT!!!
Ethan sporting the naked look! This boy would live naked if I let him!
This is the nativity that my mom started for me and is adding to each year! I just love it!
This is the boys's nativity......that sings Away in the Manger.
Ethan fast asleep for Santa to come.....he passed out in the car on the way home from my mom and dad's! He didn't even get to put the cookies out ;( But he DID put his jammies on! Thank goodness!
Garrett getting the cookies all ready for Santa....Garrett decided this year that the reindeer liked candy canes?

We had such a blessed day! It couldn't have been any more perfect!
“Suddenly, an angel of the Lord appeared among them...'Don't be afraid!' he said. 'I bring you good news that will bring great joy to all people. The Savior—yes, the Messiah, the Lord—has been born today in Bethlehem, the city of David!'” Luke 2:9-11
