Twas the Night Before Christmas....

We put out the reindeer food.....

we put on our new warm PJs (thank you Kate!)......

we set out milk and candybars for Santa......

we had a little taste of the milk.....

and we were determined (again!) to wait up and see Santa!

And to all and to all A Good Night!

Merry Christmas!!

Cailey

Just being Cailey!!

whispering in Santa's ear that she wants a little tiny baby. (i hope she means a little tiny baby DOLL!)


Jingle Bells!!

Santa Claus

I'd have to agree!

Danny is the best thing that has ever happened to me! The kids and I are so blessed to have him as Ours!!! Thank you Danny for everything you do for us! We love you!!!

family pics

Cailey's eyes were closed in this next one, but I thought it was cute of Danny and I, so I cropped the kiddos out. Sorry babies!

Hunting

The boys had their hunting day! They were not able to go to Colorado as originally planned, but they got to go in the woods, wear some camo, shoot some birds, play with the dogs, and ride four wheelers. Danny really wanted to see the boys' interest. Apparently, they both LOVED it!! Canton asked if they could go EVERY weekend! When i saw them last night, they were so tired and dirty! and Danny was thrilled!

just another shoot!

When Chiara and I realized all the kids had on black and red, we had to get pictures!

Catch, Canton, Callon, Colt, Cailey, and Chenna

# 7 and 8

Canton lost his seventh tooth the last night in our old house. And I didn't have a camera then. He lost his eighth tooth last week. He loves his new "rabbit" look!

I posted three posts tonight, so scroll on down!

Such hard work!

As we were painting her room, she got in her bed, and fell asleep while we worked! I am so glad we didn't interrupt her sleep!

Baby, Its Cold Outside!

Conversation with Lily after school:

L: Can we go to the park today?!?!
Me: Lily!

Me: Lily! Its 14 degrees outside!
L: says nothing, just looks at me with those beautiful big brown eyes.
Me: How bout we have a baking party and make brownies instead?
L: OKAY!!!!!!!

And of course we got to taste the brownie batter!!!!!
