The Spirit of Christmas is Seen Through the Eyes of a Child
To see the world as they do, through their eyes, with innocense, excitement, and great anticipation.
I watched and felt pure delight!
To witness that sparkle in their eyes.......
.....everything seems magical.
We had a wonderful Christmas......

We celebrated Allison's 30th Birthday. You could just see how proud Jackson was when we sang "Happy Birthday" to his Mom. He made eye contact with each and everyone of us.....
Pictures in front of the tree...Jackson - 29 months, Lauren - 11 months
Jack was so excited to get his hair all moussed up!!
A special shared moment with Aunt Tami
According to Jack, Tami was sitting next to him at the dinner table!
After Church, we shared our gifts to each other.
Uncle Brian and Jackson handed out the gifts.
Give Jack a puzzle and he is content for hours.
Jack HAD to have the Lincoln Logs opened.....
Thank you aunt Tami!!
Santa came!!
A little boy woke up very early and could not go back to sleep.
He and his Mother slipped downstairs to see if
Santa ate the cookies he had left the night before .
Santa even left a "Thank You" note!
Lauren is starting to stand on her own.....
she is brave...and I am sure in no time she will just take off
She has the cutest smile and chuckle all her own.
She likes Lily....leaning her head in for a kiss or two!
Tami brought a special friend ~ Steve~ to Christmas this year.
Allison said he was sucking up.......Steve brought us a box of chocolates. Not just any box of chocolates either. They came from Hughes!! I grew up on these chocolates. My mom and her sisters always bought these chocolates for almost every Holiday.
What a special treat...Thank You Steve
And what a nice picture!!
Steve, Tami, Rhea, and Jack
Allison, Lauren, Curtis and Jackson
Where is our picture you ask......on Allison's camera!!!
The best of all gifts around the Christmas Tree
is the presence of Family
MERRY CHRISTMAS
and
HAPPY NEW YEAR
