My 3 Angels in the Christmas pageant.

Santa Clause is coming to town.....

St. Nick EXCITEMENT!!!!

Jace is all nestled, all snug in his bed......

Christmas caroling for The Salvation Army!

 Every year we spend the Saturday morning after Thanksgiving ringing bells and singing Christmas carols for The Salvation Army.  The kids love it and it is wonderful for them to give back, not sure how our voices sound but we made almost every smile!

Black Friday Shopping!!!

This year was so much fun with the girls shopping, we put in 5 hours of craziness and enjoyed every minute of it!  This is something we look forward to all year and puts us even more in the Christmas spirit!

Future Bay Port Pirate!

 Ellie had lots of fun playing basketball and improving her game. 

Ellie with her team the last game of the season.

What I am most grateful for this season!

He makes me laugh....

With all 3 of my pregnancies I had terrible morning sickness which was accelerated with smells, but with Jace my "smeller" seemed to be even more touchy.   To this day he has the weakest stomach for smells also.  Even for Jace this was a new one, yesterday when he was peeing, he threw up because it smelled "bad".  He just cracks me up.... he gives me so many instances of mystification, sometimes I am not sure whether I should laugh or cry.  I now know for sure that the little guy who grew in my tummy is the reason I can't bear smelly things. 

Patiently awaiting Christmas' arrival.

 Santa, I promise to be good from here on out!

 She can't wait for Christmas.

 So excited to see Santa.

This is my favorite picture of Santa and the kids, I now have a 16 x 20 of all my elves and Santa.
