CHALLENGE CLUB CHRISTMAS PROJECT

Madison is in an amazing Catholic girls service club named Challenge.  Her club adopted a family for Christmas.  We got to go to the family's home and deliver the gifts!

 The girls brought gifts that filled their entire living room!

 What joy the girls felt when they saw the different they made first hand for this sweet family!

 Then we sung Christmas carols to the family!  What a blessing we got from this experience!

This is what Christmas is truly about!  The family was so grateful and happy.  Even her children were touched with tears inside their home!  What wonderful little disciples these girls are!

TWO OF MY LOVES

Here are my 2 loves at a Cowboys Game.  Nicholas adores his daddy.  He wants to be just like him.  Nicholas LOVES to spend time with Daddy, especially boy stuff.  Daddy feels the same way about his perfect little son

Aren't they so handsome

I love them so much!!

Thank you Jesus for little boys.....that grow up to be wonderful husbands!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY BABY JESUS!

I love singing Happy Birthday to baby Jesus each year. It is always Angel Food cake (fitting) with homemade whip cream topping.  It is a tradition that i am so happy to have been raised with.  He is the reason for this time of year and He gets lost sometimes.   A very Cliche thing to say but true!

Jeremy had knee surgery so we could not put out our big Christmas tree this year.  The kids and I got a small tabletop tree and adorned it with homemade painted dough ornaments.  That was one of the best evenings together ever!  We are in Utah with our family so I will post pictures when we return.

What a great time we are having with our family in Utah!  I love Christmas!

(Jeremy's father "Oompa", Jeremy, and Jeremy's grandfather, "Papa")

Every time the family is together the boys play multiple games of Cribbage!  It just wouldn't be Christmas without this scene at the kitchen table...it bring warmth to my heart!

 Making our Christmas cookie dough ornaments at home before Christmas

 It was such an amazing night with the kids!  We all had so much fun!

 The tree was prettier than ever!!  The best tree I ever saw!  Made with such love!

They are so proud of their tree!

 What a wonderful way to get ready for our Little Lord Jesus!

 Best Christmas tree we ever had!

FRIENDS

Madison had a friend over a few weeks ago and they came down stairs after playing quite a while and they were dressed the same.  I love that!  It is in our blood as girls to do these things with our friends!  I just had to post these cute pics of them.

 Look at the side ponytails!

 Matching bows too!

 Sweet Gianna

Little models! They are growing up so fast!

ME AND MY LOVE, JEREMY!

I LOVE THIS PICTURE OF US!  WE ARE "SO SEINFELD!"

KINDERGARTEN THANKSGIVING SHARE (Nicholas)

 Nick's class celebrated the first Thanksgiving by having a "Thanksgiving Share" where they talked about the first Thanksgiving, did a play and talked about being thankful for what God has given us.

 They all made a fruit salad and had snacks during the celebration!

Nicholas and his friend, Roddy!  So cute!

ALL SAINTS DAY PARTY (NICHOLAS/KINDERGARTEN)

 Nicholas' class celebrated All Saints Day by dressing up like saints for the day and having a special celebration honoring these Holy Heroes.  Nicholas was St. Joseph, "Protector of the family"!

He was very proud to be dressed like such an important figure in our history!  I am so proud of him!

HALLOWEEN 2010

We did our annual Halloween party with our friends!  This year it was at Carey and Jeremy Robert's house.  They are the "other" Kerry and Jeremy at St. Elizabeth Ann Seton...it's so fun to have the same names!

SAVANNAH IS 8!!

We had a "Farm" themed party at our house with a petting zoo and pony rides!  It was so much fun but rainy.  Our Lord held off the rain just enough not to let the fun be ruined!  He is always amazing that way!

 Our Sweet Savannah on a pony ride!

 Savannah and her friends, petting the bunnies!

 Savannah loves piggies, so her cake was a piggy cake!  She loved it!

It was a blessing that Nana and Papa got to be there too!
