Christmas at our house with lots of little ones was just...so much fun for Larry and me!!! The best blessing was attending church with most of the whole bunch which doesn't happen very often. Here are a few pics that made us smile. Lori and Bailey below...
Brant, Chelsea and Makynna
Mike with a favorite gift...

Cooper got a new shirt that he HAD to put on NOW...so funny! He announced "my shirt!"
Bryden never lacked for people to hold him~

Food consumed, church attended, presents opened and in jammies, ready to go home to see if Santa is coming to their house in the morning....
and Gramp-santa settling down for a lonnng winter's nap....Merry Christmas from our house to yours!!!!
First video is of Bailey opening her first gift, second is of Cooper, who had been dancing and when I got the camera he stopped,....but Bailey danced instead! -And third is of Larry getting a "guy's night out"gift, Cav's tickets with/from the boys!
Maybe it was Pastor Mitchell's magic or the Holy Spirit's,...but he was an angel.
Afterward, we had a dinner at our house with family...
Grandpa Bob with Bryden...
"Mimi"
-and friends....Harvey, Judi and Cindy. The "girls" and I have been friends through high school and nursing school...a few years ago.
Bailey...not missing a word!
Sometimes it's hard to put into words the sweet moments you just "ponder in your heart" and will never forget.
~and then there are the times you want to capture that perfect moment with the camera and you try over and over again to get it....and this is what you get....
and this...
and this....
till finally you think you have it...(sorry Lori,...your eyes were closed!)
But at the end of the day, you thank God for all the blessings,....each little one of them!
Tim, Joni and Cooper had the "creeping crud" at their house...everyone sick...we missed you guys! Cooper, I hope you're on the mend!!! What a way to spend Christmas vacation!
