goodies for santa

merry christmas!

Wishing you a Christmas filled with all things merry and bright!

 Even though it is going to be a very busy weekend, I pray we are all able to celebrate Christ's birth as God intended it to be celebrated.

Merry Christmas!

frosty fun

I still had all of the supplies from the school party sitting around, so we took advantage of building snowmen, once again. This time Embry and Ellie got to join in on the fun.

in the christmas spirit

Hayes had his Christmas party at school today.
There was singing...

building snowmen...

and decorating cookies.

Here he is with his teacher, Mrs. Black. I am so thankful we ended up in her class this year. She is absolutely amazing. Hayes is learning so much and really enjoys every bit of school. I only hope Embry and Ellie can sneak into her class too! :)

I received my first little letter from Hayes. Heart melting.

He makes me picture after picture after of things that I like, in my favorite colors. The other day he asked me what I wanted for Christmas and I told him, "How about a pretty picture?" He left and came back and asked me what else I wanted. "I want my kids to be happy." Again. "Um, how about a necklace?" Finally after quite a few more times, he brought me a picture of a stocking filled with all of those things I said. Sweet boy.
