Christmas 2012

 On Christmas Eve, after church, we let the kids open the gifts that were sent by their aunt and uncle.  They had been curious about those gifts since they came in the mail a few days earlier, so they were extra excited!

 Andrew fell asleep in the car while we were riding around looking at Christmas lights, so it was up to Genna to make sure Santa got his cookies (or donut) and chocolate milk.

 Christmas morning was lots of fun opening stocking gifts first which included slippers for each, lip gloss, Barbie clothes, a "G" necklace and nail polish for Genna and train cars and tiny matchbox cars for Andrew.

 Then, on to the living room to see what else Santa brought!  Genna got a "giant horse" that she can dress up, a doll and a Lalaloopsy doll.  Andrew got a "big, blue helicopter," a big truck that holds matchbox cars and a train set.

 I'll let the rest of the pictures speak for themselves...

 We gave them our old iphones to play games on (don't worry...they can't make calls...it's basically an ipod touch)

 The rest of the family came for lunch!  Memama and Grandaddy, Aunt Andrea and Uncle Kevin, Charlie and Mary Frances

 Cowboy Andrew

 The girls got lots of doll clothes

Bedtime prayers

with both Andrew and Genna combined...Thank you, God, for lizards, and toys, and lamps and cotton that makes clothes, for zebras and bugs that make pollen, butterflies and bees - NO, Genna, they sting! - and crosses, and books, and houses and workers and keep them safe from using sharp tools, oh, and zookeepers because they have to take care of animals like cheetahs, so I pray they will stay safe, too.....and most of all we thank you for...JESUS!  Andrew:  "And God...Thank you God, for God"

Breakfast with Santa

Thanksgiving - a little late

 Andrew celebrated at his preschool by having a Thanksgiving Feast with all of his friends...it was so cute.  They dressed as Native Americans, sat around a tablecloth on the floor and had a lunch of chicken nuggets, popcorn, carrots, cheese, grapes, apples, bread and a cookie!

 On Thanksgiving Day, we went to Memama and Grandaddy's house and enjoyed family time, great food and beautiful sunshine!
