Merry Christmas Day!

Christmas Eve night we had Sarah, Deborah, Daniel, and Daniel spend the night.  It's night like this that we got this house for, to fill it up with family, kids, and laughter.


Christmas morning my dad, brother Bennett, Eli, and boyfriend Josh came over.  Finally the whole family together.  I never knew I wanted a big family until I had it. As the kids grow up (too quickly) the times we're all together are growing fewer and more precious.


Our traditional family Christmas begins with breakfast of scrambled eggs by Daniel Scott, hash browns, fruit, biscuits, and bacon followed by stockings and presents before the kids go their merry ways.  Christmas morning is my favorite day of the whole year.  

For the moment, I leave you with this little glimpse into our wonderful family and the promise of more to come.

Merry Christmas Eve!

So my family assures me they do indeed read my blog.  At our family Christmas today some of them did comment I haven't blogged much.  OK, so here goes.  If you're reading this, comment, please.


Christmas Eve was awesome!  This year was Randy and my turn to host the Walker clan.  We had a wonderful time with Randy's parents, his brother and sister-in-law, his kids, and our adorable granddaughter, Emma.  We love being surrounded by family.


Emma spent all afternoon playing with packets of M&Ms, moving them from basket to plate to gift bag and back again.  She never tried to open them.  Organization is her thing.

Collin didn't get quite as much attention as he's accustomed to.

Online Shopping

Christmas shopping this year is being done online at our house.  No driving to multiple stores, maneuvering crowds, or circling parking lots in search of the perfect parking spot.  Now the hallway is filling up with boxes delivered by the big brown truck.  Only way to go!

Happy Thanksgiving
