Ho Ho Ho!

Brace yourself. This may very well be the longest post in posting history. Christmas has come and gone, some time ago, but here I am... blogging about it just the same. We had a great Christmas this year. My sister, Christie, and her family were able to come and spend it with us. The boys (Aiden, Max, & Henry) had so much fun together! We were very blessed this year to have so much help from so many people. As many of you know, Trevor lost his job in November. On multiple occasions we found bags of goodies and gifts on our front doorstep. I am grateful for all of you, though I still have no idea who you are. You blessed our Christmas and made us remember the reason for this season. Thank you for your example. Someday we hope to be able to help others as you helped us.

Decorating "gingerbread" houses!

Santa came!

Yippee!

Wake up, Daddy!!

All the boys waiting "patiently" on the stairs while Christie and I made breakfast. My brother-in-law, Danny, grew up having breakfast before opening gifts. So we tried to do that too. Trevor did NOT like this idea. But he was a good sport and so were the kids!

Aiden, Henry, and Maxwell.

Max and his Mario and Luigi action figures!

Aiden and his football!

After many years of asking, Aiden finally got an electric scooter for Christmas! He was so happy!

Not to be outdone, Max also got a motorized scooter(that goes much slower than Aiden's)! This is how he rides it all the time, chin down on the dash... Maybe he's trying to be more aerodynamic?

Yes, that's my husband with the giant ball on his head.

Merry Christmas!
