Christmas Eve and Christmas Morning...

We hope that everyone had a very Merry and Blessed Christmas. I am so thankful to be a daughter, a wife, and mommy. And I am so thankful for having such wonderful family and friends to spend the holidays with. I have truely enjoyed building memories and creating traditions all season long. It is the Most Wonderful Time of the Year!
In case you are wondering where Titus is in all the pics...he was on Stand-By the week of Christmas and had to work almost the whole time. We missed him very much but are thankful for the time we did get with him and very thankful that they all worked safely and no one was hurt.
Santa came through yet again...
It was nice to have Uncle Michael home for Christmas. He is good entertainment!
....for all of us!
Ho Ho Ho...



Anyone that knows Papaw Jack...Make sure you ask him to explain why he got Moon Pies for Christmas :)








"Look... it's a golden echo harmonica just like Alvin.." he says!
Thomas had to make sure Santa got some special cookies that he decorated himself of course!


Christmas with Titus' side of the Family

It was like a scene from Four Christmases...Are we the only family that has wrestling matches at the family functions????

Can I just tell ya'll I finally made a chocolate pie you didn't have to eat with a spoon....This was a very exciting day for me. They always taste good but its been a long while since you could actually cut it and serve in on a plate! Josh was very excited.

The Best Christmas Present Ever

Last night Thomas participated in his first Christmas Program at our church, they have been practicing for several weeks, and he has loved learning all the songs and getting the opportunity to be involved. I am so thankful for all the people that give their time to make this possible for our children. We have some of the most patient loving teachers at our church who are creating such wonderful experiences and memories for our children.







After the program was over last night...Thomas and I read some Christmas stories before bedtime. We really had a wonderful day celebrating the true reason for the season.
