I am so grateful this Christmas season for a family I love more than life. I have the best husband a girl could ever dream of. And the six greatest kids I’ve ever met. It was a lot of fun this year figuring out what to give the kiddos, and imagining their faces. It really is true as you get older, it becomes much more fun to give than receive. Love to all our family and friends, and Merry Christmas to all!
Christmas Eve was carried out as usual this year, with the exception of wrapping. I mean, they all know they are getting pajamas. Why torture myself with the wrapping and the mess? Besides I hadn’t wrapped a single thing leading into Christmas Eve, and this gave me 6 less presents to worry about! My kids are so laid back.
Oh Baby, Oh Baby.
All the children were nestled all snug in their beds…. so I could clean up and get ready for Santa. This year I was so excited about our new stockings. I grew up with these stockings and am so grateful to Janine Taylor for making us our own set of personal stockings. I love them!

Santa brought books for all the kids again. None of them wrote a letter in time, so Santa got to pick them all out himself. I think he did pretty dang good!
Jason recently gifted McKyla with his old ipod, so we got her a dock. She was excited, but I think her favorite present this year was her new ultra high top converse in gray and pink.
I could eat her. Yummo.

Jaxson. He and Teegan got new backpacking packs and are planning a trip with dad this summer. I’m quite jealous.
She didn’t take this off for 3 days straight. She is definitely a little princess!
