Merry Christmas to All!

Well, the children are nestled all snug in their beds, but I am not sure if sugar plums are dancing in their heads! It has been a LONG week and I am glad to see it end!


I just downloaded many pictures from my camera and found one where I was playing with the focus. I decided to delete the one odd picture and accidentally deleted all of them. So, if you are here for pictures, then feel free to leave now. I will try to explain the great things we have been up to the last week or so.


First, the boys had their Christmas parties at school. We all had a good time and everyone loaded up with plenty of candy. Riley sang a couple of songs at his party. He will not sing them again for me, but they were very cute and he did a good job singing along even with the "Riley smirk" on his face. (This is where one of those cute pics would have explained it better.)


Sunday afternoon, we loaded up the kids from church and handed out ribbon angels to shut ins, the nursing home and to anyone that needed a little extra loving this holiday season. The kids did a great job handing out the angels and sharing hugs. Everyone had huge smiles on their faces and a few had tears to see a flock of children waiting outside their front doors with smiles on their little faces. After surviving the cold wind we went back to church and had hot chocolate and cookies. I was truly blessed to be a part of this fun day.


Tuesday, Kelly and I took the kids to Amarillo to see my grandmother. We had a great visit and enjoyed seeing GG. The boys were very good (and still) at GG's new house and during lunch, so we headed over to the Discovery Center to run off some energy. They just renovated the DC in Amarillo and it was fantastic. Our entire family had a fun time. Here are a few pictures that survived.

MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL AND TO ALL A GOOD NIGHT!!
