Christmas 2015

Merry Christmas! We had a joyful Christmas celebrating all the blessings of this year, especially Andrew's 1st Christmas! 

The girls and I made sugar cookies a few days before and they left out a reindeer shaped cookie, carrots and milk for Santa, along with a few "letters" to Santa.

 Andy fit right in reading, "The Night Before Christmas" and "The Christmas Story" on Daddy's lap.

 As soon as the kids went to bed, Santa came with some really special gifts this year: BIKES! Yay!

 Santa opened the letters from Lindsay and they had some great illustrations. She has been working so hard in Kindergarten on writing sentences and journaling!

Precious. 

 Here are the girls running down the stairs on Christmas morning... Enjoy!

Madison and the Sophia Bike

Lindsay and her Sweetheart Bike... Jarrett put the basket on to hold her teddy's!

 Mama helped Lindsay read a letter Santa wrote back to her....LOL.

 This year Lindsay got a ton of art supply and crafting stuff... she was busy and in crafting heaven all of winter break!

This year Madison continued with her pony obsession, new cowgirl boots and mixed it up with some veterinarian check up sets!

Pony Surprise really surprised her!

Sweet Andy B woke up and was all smiles and coos on his 1st Christmas morning! Santa brought him some fun noise making toy instruments and teethers! He loved watching the girls open gifts and was interested in the wrapping paper.

Look at that sweet face...Adorable! 

Daddy took the girls in the afternoon to try out their new bikes and skates in the flat parking lot of the church nearby.

Skating Cuties

 Mama loved her Christmas gift... a new vacuum! I know it isn't the most festive of gifts, but oh did my heart leap for joy the first time I vacuumed the playroom rug. I emptied an entire container of filth. Yuck!  I also got a pancake griddle and some fabulous gift cards, and Jarrett got a few gifts from Brookstone and dress socks/tie from the kids! Thanks Family!

"Mama our rug feels fluffy again, Yay!" LOL.

May Christ be magnified in 2016!!
