Nativity Play

This was Jack’s first year in the Nativity Play at church.  He was an angel.  The most precious angel I ever did see!  Actually, they were all pretty precious.  It’s always a crazy service, but it’s still so meaningful at the same time.  Yep, I cried when the Angel Gabriel walked baby Jesus down the aisle.

Christmas Eve morning

Christmas Eve morning was a laid back, family morning.  It consisted mostly of playing with the fun new gifts they got yesterday,snuggling daddy and watching Christmas shows,and hanging our very last ornament on the Advent Calendar.A quiet morning at home was just the way to prepare our hearts for the day to come!

After the lights

We drove around town looking at the pretty Christmas lights tonight.  Sure was a treat being out in our jammies at bedtime!  When we got home, they raced to see who could turn off our lights first.  Looks like Sam won here!

A Singer Christmas

We celebrated a few days early with my family, and boy was it fun!  These little ones were so excited and really enjoyed their cousin time and fun gifts!  Thank you, Mom, Dad, Grants, and Adam for making the day so great!The pirate gear was a hit with all of them!Ethan’s first Christmas!We Facetimed with grandma great which was so fun!!!  We walked around with her showing her all the gifts and letting her watch the babies enjoy them.  Jack even sang her a song!  The only thing that would’ve been better is if she were actually with us!

Of course they played with fun Uncle Adam a lot!It was a nice day, so we played outside in the big leaf pile.Sweet Kendall!And flying Kendall!Ethan had fun watching all the crazyness.  Look at these babies-we’re so blessed by them!Merry, Merry Christmas-part one!

Two Year Well Visit

All is well! He was a good boy for Dr. Trey and the nice lab nurse.  She pricked his finger, and he didn’t even cry.  She gave him a band-aid, and he loved it!  He kept looking at it and showing others, saying, “Band-Aid!  Look!  Band-Aid!”  I think he was proud of it!  We left with a great report!  Praise the Lord!

“Boon-a-ma!”

This boy loves a balloon!

While these pictures are not the best quality, they’ll always remind me of how much Sam loves balloons right now, so they’re keepers!“Help me, momma!”It’s hard to tell, but this is his, “Come on, mama!” hand.  Hand up with pointer finger motioning, “This way!”  He’s a riot, I tell ya!

Sam’s SECOND Birthday Party
