Our little Princess??

OK OK I have to share this with you all. Katelynn is our little tomboy which is perfectly fine, but when the school needed her to have a long wavy skirt to wear for the Christmas Performance I was in panic mode. Thanks to Sister Vance for the skirt Katelynn is a beautiful Princess, and all grown up.. She doesn't even look like the same little girl.. The funny thing about this is I had to put the skirt straps around Katelynn's arms, and tie it in the back so it would fit her properly.. It was so funny, but you could not tell..I think she cleans up pretty nicely.. We are so proud of her she did well on her program too the little boy she was standing next to was her dance partner.. Katelynn is going to be a knock out, but only if she wants to be..

Christmas Tradition!!

Every year on December 1st Santa's little elf( Jeffrey) leaves us Christmas pajamas.. The kids were so excited to recieve there pajamas, and that we matched.. Savannah although was sleeping while we were taking the pictures, so I am adding a cute christmas outfit for church.. Another tradition that we have is making our Gingerbread house. This year was so much fun with the kids putting in there input of what should be put on the house, and making of the sign which was Katelynn's Idea.. Great Idea Katelynn... I love traditions.. I hope these are things that our children will take with them when they start their own families...

Much to be thankful for!!

This year we have much to be thankful for; our three wonderful children, and our families. We were able to go home this year for Thanksgiving and be with my mother, and sister and her now official hubby!! We are so very grateful that we have family as you will see James' family is still growing 16 grandkids wow!!! When we were at my mom's house Katelynn and I made homemade place settings and napkin holders, which was so much fun to do, but I do have to say Katelynn got tired and I had to finish them.. I guess after the stamping part the putting together wasn't as fun...LOL I have to laugh she is getting so big and wants to be more involved, but only to a certain extent..














Going to James' parents house is always fun with all the neices and nephews aunts and uncles. As you can see while the woman are in the kitchen the men are playing war games.. What fun they have doing this. I am so grateful for family, and knowing that we will all be with our heavenly father together makes it more worth it. Thanks for a great visit this year to all of you.
