Christmas Eve

These were our Christmas Eve clothes this year. We were getting ready to head out to the Christmas Eve Service at our Church. J and G were so excited to get dressed up to go. G got a new dress and J had on his new jeans and his cowboy boots. Dad also wore his too to match with J. I think they all looked snazzy...


They all had me laughing so hard I kept blinking my eyes shut...








Trouble was jealous because he couldn't go so he posed for me by the tree for his picture...

Instead of making one Gingerbread house this year we decided to make our own individual, edible houses this year. The kids had a blast decorating them and then eating them. They had icing and sprinkles everywhere!


A blank slate to work on...






The finished product

Daddy's graduation...

Dad graduated from NPS on 18 December. Here are a few pics I took. Some of them are dark because the lighting was a little low in the auditorium. I had a good friend there, who's husband also graduated and she took some pics for me as well. We are so proud of our Daddy. Plus he looks snazzy in his uniform!


Got that degree in hand. . .


Marching in. . .


Getting ready to cross that stage. . .

Hiking

We took the kids on a hike a week ago and while exploring out and about ran across this sign. This was the trail that Dad wanted to take us down but due to the "Danger sign"...stating something about the area being "cleaned of explosives" we decided not to go that way. It really wasn't anything dangerous but I had to take their pic with the sign after Dad had checked it out. The kids enjoyed their hike in the other direction!




What is it with men and following directions...

My "baby boy"

Here are a few updated pictures of my "baby boy" who isn't a baby anymore. He has grown into a handsome young man. I can't believe he will graduate in May 2010. Makes my heart ache at how fast our kids are growing each day. Where does the time go?

Love to all,

He cleans up good, doesn't he?



Handsome isn't he? Check out the peach fuzz on his face...



Heading off to his 1st day of school as a Senior is his "new" ride!
