Spelling Tuesday

Over the river and through the woods, to Grandmother's house we go!  And we weren't the only ones!  There was a full house in Bolivar this year, with lots of fun and laughter!  Here's the whole fam damily.  We exchanged gifts, ate lots of good food, and got all caught up from our time apart.  And we looked at our phones a lot.  Youtube is so fascinating.  Look at this sweet girl!  Kristiana is such a good baby, and Loralie LOVED playing with her. All of our favorite peeps all in one place!  Feeling very blessed.  May 2016 be full of more fun, friends, and family.

Teddy the elf was up to his usual antics this year.  Mommy was so sad to see him go on Christmas Eve... He fixed the ornaments the kids broke, so that was helpful. Toilet paper sledding wasn't. But he does love us!  He brought a jigsaw puzzle that was way too hard. And of course, he sat in some shelves like a boss.

Christmas morning is so much fun when you are a parent!  I always have so much fun watching the kids open their presents and seeing the looks on their little faces!  Roman was so excited about his new "bitar!"  Santa found Little Baby, who had been missing for weeks and returned her to Loralie.  It was a Christmas Miracle! She also got the "rainbow flashlight" she asked for.  Thanks Amazon!  Who knew such a thing even existed! This picture will be mocked by the kids someday because you can see that we were listening to "Hipster Christmas" on Pandora...  Caleb got some pretty sucky presents from Santa this year, but hopefully this game will be fun with the family! This was the year of LARGE presents for Roman.  Look at how excited he is to get cologne from Dollar General from the kids! Loralie's gifts this year:  An American Girls Bunk Bed, a camera, and a sewing machine. Rom...
