~Firecracker, Firecracker, Boom, Boom, Boom~

We stopped by tonight to get some fireworks, Luke
has been begging us to stop all week.
And tonight was the night!
Got some Roman Candles,
Bottle Rockets and the little
things you throw on the ground
and they pop and make noise.
We have already finished our poppers
and will have to save the rest for Papa Boozer
and Dangs this week-end.
The kids are super excited about seeing
Caleb again!
HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!
WE HOPE THIS IS EVERYONES
BEST YEAR EVER!!
We all have a tremendous amount of things
to thank God for!

Christmas Day 2010!






Daddy reading us the Christmas Story from the Bible, and
Luke knew it and said it along with Pat. This is what it is
all about!

What a wonderful Christmas Morning!








Jumping like a kid, and I even did a flip.
Luke came rushing into our room at 5:45 AM, and
was so excited. He said wake up, Santa came to
visit and he left us lots of presents.
The boy could not wait to open everything.
It was a magical Christmas for him and Ashlyn.
We get up, and tell Luke to wake up Ashlyn.
She came running into the living room
and it was the funniest sight, her hair was in
her face and she was half asleep still and she
was doing her best to get into the living room.
It was so funny to see.
We played with our presents for about an hour and
half. After breakfast, when the sun came up
we noticed that Santa left us a note on the tree!
I read the note to the kids, and Santa
had left a Trampoline for us,
and lets just say I am so very glad Pat was taping it.
Luke about fell out of the chair, and just could not
contain himself. He was very surprised and extremly happy!
So despite the fact that it was 29 degrees, we put on our
coats, hats, gloves, 2 shirts, 2 pairs of pants that Santa
had laid out, and went to jump on the Trampoline.
As soon as we get outside Luke points out that Santa
left tracks, and it really did kind of look like that!!
Luke is certain that is where Santa landed the Sled
to drop off his Trampoline.
WONDERFUL CHRISTMAS!

Christmas Tree 2010!


Our 2010 Christmas Tree complete with Christmas the Elf!

Christmas Eve 2010


~Queen of Monkey Joe's~ The girls that walk around
and make sure the kids keep everything safe said
Ashlyn was BRAVE! The most Brave 3 year old she had seen.


~King of Air Hockey~
I am kicking myself for giving away the Air Hockey
table I got for $10.00 buckS. It was taking up too much
room in the Garage! I want it BACK!!

We started the day off, at Monkey Joe's while Daddy and PawPaw put together Santa. Then we headed to Lunch, and came home for a 2 hour nap. If you know me, and Pat you know we enjoy our naps. And for the whole family to take a nap is a wonderful thing!!

After Nap we worked on Gingerbread ornaments. We gave the kids the presents from us, and then we went to bed waiting for Santa. Pat and I rushed as we did last year to set it out.
We had it out in 5 minutes flat.
