The cousins had an ornament exchange. We drew numbers and you could either keep the gift you got or take someone else's.

Christmas Eve
The kids got all decked out in their Christmas attire for our Christmas Eve service at church. I think they are the three most beautiful kids in the world and I know I am the luckiest mom in the world to have them in my life.
Family Christmas Picture
Pretty Little Josephine
Nathan and his brother, Zach, sang a beautiful Christmas song.
We celebrated the rest of Christmas Eve at Granny and Papoo's house. Annie got a Snow White dress Granny made her.
Our little comedian :-)
Christmas Eve Morning
We opened presents on Christmas Eve Morning this year with Nathan's family. They were so generous and we got some nice things, but it was just nice to enjoy our family for a few hours. Then, I made a lasagna lunch which was yummy (if I do say so myself).
Grandma and Grandpa made Josie a baby bed for her new baby doll. She loves it. What a nice gift G and G...thank you!
Best Present this Year
Of all the great presents under the tree this year, I still think Josie takes the cake :-)

Christmas Shopping without Kids
Me and my sis-in-law, Racquel.
We went Christmas shopping the day before Christmas Eve and had Molli watch the kids. It was so much fun! Just the 6 adults running around the mall like teens :-)
My handsome man! God saved the best for me when he gave me Nathan.
What a cute couple! Don't they make ya sick??
The ones who started the whole thing!! We love ya Grandpa and Grandma!!

You Are My Child
You are the Poem I dreamed of writing,
the Masterpiece I longed to paint.
You are the Shining Star I reached for
in my ever hopeful quest for life fulfilled.
You are my child.
Now with all things I am blessed.
Glow Christmas Party
I have often been told that I light up a room when I enter it. :-)
Nicole and I went to a Christmas Party and it was so much fun! I do not go to just any Ladies' Christmas Party, but at the GLOW Christmas party, all you do is laugh and laugh. It is a blast!! These ladies are insane, but oh so much fun!
Me and good old Saint Nick (i.e. Karen Anderson)
I was so glad Nicole went with me, made it so much more fun!!
We played a dress up game that was so much fun!

A Family Thanksgiving
I was blessed to be able to have a large family Thanksgiving at my house this year. We had a great time with great food and conversation. Half of us even took a 2 mile walk after dinner. All in all there were 20 people that came over for Thanksgiving and to eat marvelous Honey baked Ham, mashed potatoes, pepper corn, broccoli casserole and stuffing, along with too many desserts to name them all.
Mom took this picture and she wasn't exactly close enough :)
The one who started it all! What was she thinking? Actually, I look forward to seeing my kids grown up with their own families. I hope to be the best grandma the world has ever seen :)
