Christmas

Chloe has been doing really well with her reading. Grandma had gotten Chloe some books and she actually read them to us. They were the Dick and Jane books. It just doesn't seem possible that she could be reading to us. She is so smart.
Here is Dale with Julia and Chloe. They had their robes all and were all snuggled up with Dale.

Christmas Eve I had to work, but thankfully I was placed on call and didn't have to go in till 10:00 that night. So I was able to hang our stockings and watch the kids open up their one gift. They were so cute. They all got a new pair of pajamas and they matched, even Caleb. They looked so cute. We usually let the kids open a small gift on Christmas Eve.

Here are the goofballs Chloe and Caitlyn loving their new nighties.
I was trying to get a picture of all three. They were so hyped up.

After that we had to leave food outside for the "reindeer" So I didn't really have much on hand since we had been out of town, so we left sprinkled grits on the ground for the reindeer. How funny is that. You know they actually ate it. Then the girls placed glow sticks on the yard so the reindeer could see where to land. It was so cute.

Well it was finally Christmas and we celebrated the day by reflecting on the best gift of all, Jesus. I loved listening to our kids pray at dinner and singing Happy Birthday to Jesus. That is the sweetest thing as a parent to see.

Here is Caitlyn on Christmas morning. She actually wasn't feeling so well that day.

Caleb loved Caitlyn's gift of her doll set. As you can tell he has a car tool bench in the background. He does actually play with it as well.

Chloe got a bike. Here she is giving it a try. She actually did very well. I was so proud of her.

Caleb loved his new cars. He played with them all day. The simple things in life.

We had a great day just relaxing with one another as a family.
One of the newest things that I got to do over this past weekend is play Rock Band at a friends house. It was the funniest thing. I never grew up listening to any of those songs and here I was trying to sing Guns N Roses and the such. It was lots of fun.
