Merry Christmas 2008!

Wow, what a Christmas! We are very blessed to be healthy and have a wonderful family. As we were driving to Waynesboro the night before Christmas Eve, I was thinking about Christmas and just how special it is. God sent his son to save us. He continues to bless us everyday even when times are hard. It was tough this year because it was the first Christmas Boomer had without his Dad. We spent Christmas this year with my parents and did "Santa" there. It was super fun this year because he was old enough this year to realize what was going on. I wish you could have seen some of the expressions and noises he was making! The bright round eyes and oo's and wow's!! So cute! And of course, we forgot the video recorder!! Imagine that! But tons of pics so get ready! We found the GINORMOUS Mickey Mouse at Walmart for $10..can you believe that! Santa left Mickey riding on the four-wheeler. He ran straight for Mickey!! He got a Mickey Mouse Clubhouse which we have to take back because a part was missing!! We have had it for a month now but just opened it Christmas Eve night to set it up and realized that the hot air balloon was missing. But that's okay. He got a battery operated four-wheeler, couple of Elmo things like books, phone and bath toys and a Mickey Mouse flashlight and small airplane which Mickey rides in. Did you get that..... he LOVES Mickey and Elmo! My parents got him a slide and he LOVES it! Gosh, he got lots of stuff from lots of family members and he loves it all! He just doesn't know what to play with first. Thank you for all the presents and your love. We love you all so much!! You helped make this Christmas a wonderful one.

Christmas Party

Well, I have survived the week with excited children awaiting Santa!! It has been a crazy week! I am so glad that we get out at 10 tomorrow . Not only was our Christmas party at school but Grant had his as well! Destiny, I saw this website/magazine on your blog and you said you got a lot of your ideas from here and your ideas are always so cute! So I went to Family Fun and found these precious reindeer cookies and made them for Grant's class. I also made them magical reindeer dust and an ornament. So much fun! I love being a mommy and doing those things!!! I hate my friend Kara couldn't come, but no worries not many parents were there. Kara, Kolton was so funny! We were the last class to leave and he was the last person eating and FeFe tried getting him ready to leave and kept asking him if he was done and he would shake his head and she would ask again minutes later and he would say NO and then finally started to cry. Grant went over to pat him on the back like "it's okay man!". But it was funny!! He hushed when she walked away and realized that his Cheetos were staying!! HAHA! Got some cute pics but they couldn't stay together long enough for me to get great ones. Kolton minded Super! I told him to stand here and there and he went..it was MY child who kept trying to jump in my lap and not participate in the picture taking!! How do you do it??! Oh and you also need to show me how in the world to make a collage with these pics!!!

Let It Snow, Let It Snow, Let It Snow!!

Well, I can't believe that our school district made us go to school today and then we released at 11:30. Boomer was home with Grant and he got to experience his first snow...without me. I was so sad. A mother never wants to miss any "first" with their child. But I must say that my wonderful husband did a good job taking many pics and videotaping!! Grant LOVED the snow! He did not know what to think! He walked back into the garage at one point and accidently found "Christmas" presents. We bought him a Mickey Mouse Clubhouse because he adores that show and LOVES the hotdog song. When Boomer walked into the garage from filming, Grant was pointing to the clubhouse saying "hotdog, hotdog, hotdog!" over and over! It was funny. Boomer captured it all on tape! By the time that I got home from school, the snow was over and it was sleeting really bad and we couldn't get out in it. But it sure was pretty while it lasted!
