Ten Reasons to love Christmas!!


  1. Our Savior and lord Jesus was born.  Happy Birthday Jesus!!
  2. Watching children open gifts.
  3. Parker got to have his first Christmas. See the snort above, that is his new trick.
  4. Reid got way too many gifts, but loves them all.  Ex: Easel above. Gran (Pam) went way over board.
  5. White Christmas , built snow house with Daddy.
  6. Seeing family.
  7. Eating way to much delicious food.
  8. Driving around looking at lights. Stopping to see our favorites again and again.
  9. Playing with all our cousins.
  10. Again, the number one reason, Jesus!!

Let the Christmas Fun Begin


We bought a Gingerbread House Kit and Reid has wanted to decorate it ever since.  So tonight I had decided would be a good night.  Well I made that plan before he decided NOT to take a nap today, which meant he was cranky.  But we set out to follow the plan as promised.  He had fun because all he did most of the time was eat the candy.  He did put alot of the candy on but I had to assist alot.  He wanted to take a bite out of the house, but we decorated cookies for eating instead.  Daddy was there also watching Parker.  Notice him in the background behind Reid and I .  Then while Daddy was snapping a photo he climbed upon this little plastic tote.  He is a dare devil to say the least.  The plan tomorrow is to take photos for xmas cards.  Let's see if that one goes smoothly :)  The gingerbread house will be a tradition in our house from now on I hope.  It was only 10 bucks at Sam's and well worth it to see Reid have fun.  The mess only took a short time to clean up :)
