Happy Birthday Doug

Happy birthday to the best hubby and father in the world!

Nana's Visit

We were so bummed not to be able to go home for Christmas this year but Doug realized he had enough flight miles to fly my mom out! I was glad that I at least got to see my mom and the kids got to spend time with their Nana.

We picked up Nana from the airport:

We had Christmas again with Nana:

We went to Chuck E Cheese with Nana:

Merry Christmas!

We love Christmas! What an awesome day in history! The day when Jesus decided to leave His heavenly throne and be born as a human so that He could one day die for us!  Talk about amazing love!

This year our family was so blessed for Christmas.  We had gotten the kids one gift each and then 2 friends cleaned out their toy boxes and gave us all of their toys! Thank you friends for thinking of us! Our kids were overjoyed  by your generosity!

We woke up Christmas morning and Doug read the bible story of the birth of Christ.  Then the kids opened presents.  After their presents we sang "Happy Birthday" to Jesus and ate His birthday cake for breakfast.  Then we got dressed and headed to Uncle Mark and Aunt Jen's house to spend Christmas day with them and Mimi and Papa.
