We have had a wonderful Holiday season so far. Lots of Birthday Parties and Christmas Parties. Our friends invited Santa and his Wife to their home. We saw Santa up close and personal. It was nice to chat a little with Santa instead of being so rushed. Lilly wanted to talk with Mrs. Clause because she was a little shy. James loved sitting on his lap. Madalyn was scared of the two strange people in red clothes. That night we also decorated Gingerbread cookies. There have been three birthday parties in the past 2 weeks, Kambria, Marshall, and Eliza (Amys daughter). Then Cadence has a birthday, then Allen turns 28 on the 9th of January. It is fun season of gifts and parties. I love gatherings with friends and family, it warms my heart to be able to live close to family. The kids have caught the Christmas Spirit. Lilly is always doing kind things for others. James hugs everyone (even people that he doesn't know) watch out for that! Madalyn is learning to say words like MOMMY, uh-oh, sorry, and ev-ery-body.

James has a kid camera. Here are some of the kids taking pictures.
