Merry Christmas!!!

The kids were really excited about their new Christmas pajamas, and way too excited to go to bed so we stayed up and took a few pictures for their dad who was working on Christmas Eve.  He made it home at about 7:40 which was just about perfect because the kids thought they would die if they had to wait any longer to see what Santa brought.
The gigantic mess which resulted after a frenzy of gift opening.  The kids loved everything and Reed managed to stay awake for the time.  He kept dozing off throughout the day, as he had been working.  We are so grateful for our family and the love we feel from everybody.  Thanks for everything that everybody does for us.

No good snow should ever go to waste, and so the kids took advantage of Grandma Joan's small hill and had a great time sledding.  They love the snow and had  a great time.  Colton, Kinzie, and Jaycie along with little Blade stayed out until dark.

So we decided to join the blogging community to keep everyone up to date on all of the goings on with our family.  We are all getting excited for Christmas, so much so that it is hard for the kids to be good.  They can't stand the wait so it is making them tense.  Torey has just knocked out her front tooth, so she can now sing "All I want for Christmas is the other half of my front tooth!"  Just Kidding.  Doctor Liddle was able to get it fixed, though he doesn't know for how long.  Reed is enjoying his new jobs and it is great to see him come home from work happy.  Who knew that could happen!?!?!  Anyway, Merry Christmas to everyone - We love you!!!
