Did Santa come?

Santa did come...if you don't believe it, just check out the note he left for Dallyn and Ella. He also loved the milk and cookies we made...well Vanessa:) sorry Santa we didn't bake anything,but Vanessa did. I hope you went to visit Helen and thanked her too:)

Christmas was wonderful.. just at home with my husband and children and my favorite mother in-law:)

Our First Family Christmas dinner was also fun. We had a friend for everyone. Dallyn D. to play with Dalyn C., Ella to play with Brooke, Lucy to play with Jen and Joe to play with Dougie Doug:)

Thank you for coming over!

Grateful for the birth of Jesus Christ, our Savior, and the life that we have chosen to follow.

And for good looking-great dancing kids:)

Family pictures

This was kind of cute...and we are not talking about the pictures of all of us that were so blury:)

It was the actual time we all had for the first time with all the family together and all the children... for the "traditional family picture"

Dear Dallyn...

a flashback of all the wonderful times we've spent together just came into my mind as I slowly walked you by the hand into your classroom. Seen you so excited kept me from not crying. I lingered in the classroom a little longer to see you now walk away to your new and exciting world and I still can't believe this time already came for the both of us.

Love these kids!

Love those flowers on her head!

Love this boy!
