Christmas Photos

Ho Ho Ho!

What a gentle sweet Santa, don't you think?

Finally I'm posting our Christmas photos... there's not much. With baby number 4 on the way, I haven't been up to doing any more than I HAVE to do lately!

Here are some pre-Christmas photos of decorating the tree...

A Unique Gift

For Christmas my sister got me this cute scrabble necklace! She always picks the perfect presents! Thanks Kathy!

You can find more pendants from the etsy site: www.scrabblesrus.etsy.com . If you've never checked out etsy before... you should!

Merry Christmas!

Thank you Jesus for being born in this world and saving us now and forever!

She doesn't look to sure what to do here...

Help has arrived!

The kids decorated pumpkins and balloons...

Played some fun games...

Smell and touch and guess what's in the bag!

Brains... rat breath... eyeballs...

How about this?

Then our friends enjoyed a hay ride.

Matching outfits! Different eras!

Two cute little pumpkins

Opening presents for the first time!

Happy Birthday To You!

How about some recycled cupcake, God-Mommy!
