Christmas 2010

The whole Christmas season seems to really have been a blur to me, but I am finally getting the pictures up for all to see! Christmas Eve we went to service at Keystone Church, and after we went to Diamond Lock (a neighborhood here that has amazing Christmas lights). It was a lot of great fun, and the kids really enjoyed it. Oh who am I kidding...I had a blast! There was one house that the lights changed in beat to the music, and I felt like I was a kid in 3rd grade again-all kinds of giddy!

The Pajama Elf had visited the house while we were gone, and thank goodness because we were in need of some photograph-able pj's! After getting the kids in bed (and making sure they were asleep), Santa visited! And this time Santa really outdid "himself" since he purchased alot of toys at Black Friday, there was a great multitude that would not have been normally possible! :)

Christmas morning, we had a great time seeing the kids faces as they saw all their loot, and then we opened presents between the 4 of us. After that, Jason made chocolate chip pancakes (yummy), I think this may be a new tradition! hint hint
Check out the picture of Carson and the whip cream. I was teaching him how to spray it, but he couldn't get his finger to stop, and there was a ton of whip cream! He didn't mind though!






Most importantly, we remind our kids that it is not about the toys and the gifts, but the greatest gift of all *God's Son sent in human form* Happy Birthday Jesus!

I hope you all had a very Merry Christmas!

Making Time

Ok,so I just spent the past 40 min or so looking through my old blog posts, and I realized that in my writing then that I seemed to be a lot closer to God than I am right now. So, I started thinking, why is that? Well, the answer that I come up with is that I was spending a lot more time with Him then. A lot more than I am now. So, I decided that I am not going to let that happen, and I am going to really start making time for Him since He ALWAYS makes time for me!

I hope this encourages someone else out there too! :) Maybe we can encourage each other together! I also wanted to repost this:

Santa Pics

This year, we seem to have seen Santa everywhere! We made sure we got pictures a couple of times. So I thought I would share them with y'all.

Holiday in the Park

My mom AKA Nani gave us all Six Flags season passes for next year! Thanks Nani! Because she purchased them when she did, we got to go to Holiday in the Park and got a free parking pass- Woo-Hoo! This gift is such a blessing and sooo much fun! The kids are estatic! (And so are we!!!)

Well anyway, I thought I would post some pics of our trips to Holiday in the Park for y'all to see!

Crazy Legs! Way too spinny for Mommy! :)

My Baby is 5!!!!!!

Like really, 5 years old!!!!! I don't know how it happened so fast, but it did. And since he is our last, I really told myself to really pay attention so the time wouldn't fly by, but it is. Oh well, I guess I better pay more attention these next 5 years!

Carson, I love you so much! While you have a very strong will, you also have a very independent spirit! Your Daddy and I love that about you! I can not believe all the things you have accomplished before turning 5!

This year he wanted his birthday at Chuck E Cheese. And they had so much fun! The best part for us was no set-up and no clean-up. The kids had a great time! Enjoy the pics:







The Ticket Blaster was his favorite part, and I think the whole reason he wanted his party there! :)
