Christmas Festivities~
Later Christmas Morning we all headed up to Shannon and Larry's House. We had the traditional Christmas morning Breakfast of Eggs with ham, Orange rolls and Sausage. It was delightful. One of the best thing Shannon and i decided to do was get Paper plates and plastic cups for while everyone was her. It made doing the dishes manageable! after we had Breakfast and did the minimal clean up we all headed down stairs to open our gifts. My grandma came up this year and spent Christmas with us. I was fun to have 4 generations all in the same house.
So the Kids all helped My dad sort through the presents and hand them out to everyone. After that we all watched the kids open their gifts and then the adults opened theirs after. everyone was happy with what they were given.
We laughed, We played, and we ATE :) I think that this was one of my favorite Christmases. Here are some pictures of all the fun.
Kyah got some jewelry form Sequoia ... it is green so she LOVED it.
This is my Grandma... such a Southern Bell :)
Chelsea got a lot of Jewelry ( is anyone surprised?) AND SHE LOVED IT!!!
Chelsea wanted to wear her Christmas Dress on Christmas Day" its just what I am suppose to do mom"
Charles and I were playing around with the Camera while waiting for presents to be handed out. He felt the his gum should make a debut also for the pic :)
I love my Dad... He is such an awesome person. I am grateful everyday of my life that he is there!For Christmas this year Shannon gave Mom a very nice flip book of pictures of her family. Shannon said that since she has been slacking in the picture department for so long now she is caught up.
This poem has been in our family since 1961. It has passed from Mother to child for 3 generations now. Kyah loves it.
Family Pictures are wonderful. And this year Shannon got us all around the tree to take them. This is Kalinda, Brad,Samuel and Joesph.

PARTY! PARTY! PARTY! PARTY! Because there were so many people in town for Kyah's Baptism. We decided that Our church house was the solution to this problem. Luckily Aaron thought ahead and had the Gym and Kitchen booked Like 3 weeks in advance. ( thanks Honey ) All of our family that came for the event were ther and so were some of our closest friends. The only one I didn't get a picture of were Katie and Joel because they had to leave early. One of the best things about our families is that the In-Laws get along great! In fact they were chatting it up the entire time they were together. Aaron was so worried that we wouldn't have enough food to feed everyone, He practically obsessed over it , but when it was all said and done. there was SOOO much left over food that we were begging people to take some home with them! This was a wonderful reason for a family gathering and I am so glad that i have a bright special Young girl that has chosen to take the first step ...

Charles birthday

Charles turned seven on April 11th. I am truly blessed with such a wonderful boy. In keeping with a new tradition I would like to list 7 things that I love about my son. 1. He is always trying new things, when it comes to adventure he is all boy. He will try just about anything once( as long as its not food, that is where he draws the line of being adventurous ;O ) 2. When ever Aaron is outside working n his boat or in the garage , Charles rushes out to go be like DAD. I love it! he loves to spend time with Aaron no matter what the activity or chore may be. Its great bonding time for Aaron and him. 3.Charles loves to read. I think it is an ingrained gene. Both Aaron and I are avid readers and so it was bond to come out in our children. 4.Charles is better at most video games than I am... What a thing to have to admit about your 7 year old son huh?! When he comes home from school he does his homework right away and then the minute that he is done he give me the "puppy dog eyes...

GOTTA LOVE IMPROMTU DANCES The other night we had Melissa and Kyle over for dinner. We were just hanging out in the kitchen when Aaron and Kyle got the idea that they should dance around and be gangsters. It was hilarious to watch... I thought everyone needed to share in the joy of my honey, and Kyle too. I would have sent it into America's funniest home video, If I could have cusght Aaron running into the wall that is...
