remember December 2010

I am trying to go through pictures and organize, DELETE a ton, and get the rest ready to upload to our family scrapbook blog (which has been so severely neglected these past few months) Here are some things from December I want to remember:

Mater giving baby Jesus a ride…

we have a little “letters to santa” tin that the kids put notes in. Most were Christmas wish lists, but this one kind of melted my heart:

 

How much longer will he be able to play baby Jesus??

We woke up to a white Christmas!

My girls spent a whole Saturday making this rocket out of a big Amazon box for Logan and we really shouldn’t have bought anything, because it was the hit of all the presents that morning. They were sooo excited to give it to him.

About 11 a.m. Christmas morning:

 

Making a snow family with the neighbor kids:

One of their favorite things to do is go through books and find cool numbers like 33, 99, 100, 444

My sweet girl celebrated her 9th birthday:

and tomorrow my baby is turning 2 …how on earth can that even be possible??

A few more things:

*my Lowes was dumb. What’s up with only 60% off Christmas this year instead of the usual 75%?? But….my Target is loaded. I can’t wait for 75 or 90% off. Rumor has it that Thursday or Friday could be 75% off for Lowes and Target.

life in grace

* Please remember dear Edie and her family in her prayers (do you remember the awesome guest post on being a mom she did for us?) They lost their beautiful house in a fire, thank goodness everyone is okay, but please send them love, strength, and comfort. She is such a light to me and the blog world~

I hope you are all having a wonderful holiday season with your dear ones…I’m loving this down time with family. Do you ever wish you could freeze time just as it is right now and no one could grow a second older?
