HAPPY 1ST BIRTHDAY!!

Merry Christmas

This year was so fun for us as our kids are getting to the age where they look forward to Christmas from Halloween on. This year we made a chain counting down the days a few days before Halloween. There were more than 70 chains...it took forever to make and to get through but was so much fun. And on every chain was something we could do or look forward to.

On Christmas morning, Brad and Olivia were awake, he was reading while she was drinking a bottle in the room across from Brylie and Brody's room. When the kids woke up, he heard the doorknob jiggle and then saw Brylie streak past toward our bedroom. When she didn't find Brad, she ran back to the room where he was reading with Olivia and said, "Dad, SANTA!!" and then she ran into our bedroom where I was still asleep and came over and said to me, "Mom, SANTA!!" Brody wasn't to far behind her and our Christmas morning was in full force! We were very blessed and had a wonderful Christmas!!Both kids got a bike from Santa...Brody's may be a bit big but isn't everything at his age?
Grammie and Pops give every grand kid on their first Christmas a build a bear. Olivia got a longhorn cow in memory of her Texas roots. She loves it! How do you like her teeth?
