My life is filled with blessings. I have a fabulous husband. I have 3 beautiful children. My house is a mess and
there are chickens in my backyard. What more could you want out of life?

Merry Christmas!!


Our family Christmas card picture for 2013


I woke up on Christmas morning to a quiet house...


Then I found Elijah watching TV.  He saw me and said "Hey Mom!  Look at all the presents!  But everyone is still sleeping so I'm just being quiet."  Have I mentioned I love this child?


We started off by reading about the birth of Jesus...

 Then we started on the gifts!  







Sadie got a robe!


She loves it!! Just like her mom!


Jack got a phone!



Which he spent the rest of the morning "talking" on...



A Red Power Ranger suit!!!

Sadie got a cookbook.  It is her favorite thing to do (again, just like her mom)!



She already started picking out what we could make that day!


Still on the phone...


Even when he was opening another gift it didn't leave his hand...


Stockings!!!


And of course....a silly face picture!


Then it was time for the final gift!  The kids had NO idea!!  They were SO excited!!








I finally caved under the peer pressure.  Every year (for the past 5 years) I have made Monte Cristo Sandwiches for Christmas breakfast.  No one but me liked them.  But I had stated a tradition so I told myself they would grow to like them.  Nope.  They never did.  So this year I decided I would start a NEW tradition (can you tell I love tradition?)....French Toast!!


 She finally left the trampoline to try out her other gift...hair rollers!!


It was a wonderful Christmas Day!!
