Long Overdue Post - Part I

This one is supposed to be about Christmas, but it's already February and my mind is not as sprightly as it once was, so I've forgotten a lot unfortunately. Pressing on though...

Took a quick trip up to Branson to visit Gigi and Grandpa. Got to see Mrs. Claus and Santa himself walking through the shops as we went to have lunch before heading home. Mrs. Claus gave Ben and Jack candy canes.

Another trip down to Little Rock after Christmas to see Mimama and G-Daddy. The kids were thoroughly spoiled this year! Luckily, they are sweet kids and were not turned rotten by it. =-)


The tree and gifts before the kids got to everything.


Emma got a special pewter baby cup with her name and birth date on it.


Mommy designed and sewed a special comforter for Emma too.


Ben LOVES his metronome and Jack LOVES his kitchen playset!


The kids also got lots of books in December and for Christmas, and Mommy has been stopping at the children's library a lot and getting new books to read.


Colder weather means keeping the kids occupied inside. The boys love playing in the water in the kitchen sink.

On to January...
