Christmas with Jamie's side

I don't know how this could have happened, but I didn't get any pictures of the big christmas with my side of the family! Rarely do I not take pictures! Anyhoo, we had a great Christmas with my side. Everyone came to our house to celebrate. The babies were spoiled yet again. Their gifts included a little tykes slide (which they LOVE), a easel for drawing and magnetic activities, a little people's parking garage with cars, new sporty looking shoes for the boys and little baby ug boots for Ava, new large, soft bath towels, more new footed pjs, a prayer bear, and of course cashola for the savings accounts! Thank you everyone for your gifts. They absolutely love them all!

Christmas at Grandma and Grandpa Sells

The babies were totally spoiled by grandma and grandpa, great grandma and their aunt! Toys included, large legos, tricycles, the baby Einstein worm, footed pjs, toy airplanes, sippy cups, hokey-pokey elmo, new very cute firefighter stockings, and so much more. Thank you everyone!!! (Connor in red vest, Skyler in jean-shirt and Ava is green vest). The very last picture is so cute of Skyler dragging around the christmas wrapping paper in the garbage sack. What a good little helper!

New Chairs

Oops, almost forgot...the babies got new chairs too! They love them and will sit and watch a movie (for about 5 minutes). Then they're back on the go again.

Christmas Morning at Home

Santa sure was good to us this year! The boys got a tent and tickle-me-elmo and Ava got her first baby-doll (which as you can see Connor was really interested in). Brian got a bunch of stuff for his new bar and I got some new ugs and Prison Break on dvd!

Basement is done!

Okay, our basement is basically done! Yay! Waiting on our furniture. But it's awesome having all this extra space for the babies to run and play. We're all loving it! We now have an extra family room, complete with bar (and enough room should we decide to get a pool table), another bedroom, another full bathroom and a huge storage room / laundary room.

Setting up the Christmas Tree

I know they're a little late but I just gotta post em cause they're so cute. Last year the babies were only 6 months so they didn't get to experience touching the tree or helping to decorate. This year with them being 18 months, it was so amazing watching them. They got so excited as Daddy brought in the tree. Their little hands touching the branches. Then, when we got the lights out, oohhhh, ahhhh....

St. Mark's Christmas Shirts

Donna, Mom (Diana) and I took all three babies to the Children's Advent Service where we sang Christmas songs and made our Advent wreath. A special thank you to Lea and Clyde Bean for their helping hands during the service, making our advent wreath then getting the kids these fabulous shirts. They were just a little too big...haha!

It's been a long time....

Well, Christmas is now finished...the New Year is now here....Jamie's birthday has passed...ah, things are FINALY starting to slow down. Well, we have one Christmas Party yet, this weekend! We had such a fabulous Christmas. What a wonderful time with family and friends. We are truly blessed to have one another in our lives.
