Our peek at Scooter!

Baby #5

We peeked at our new baby, but chose not to find out if it is a HE or a SHE.
We've never found out before and didn't feel inclined to find out this time, either.

Scooter was VERY active and we got to see lots of legs, arms, fingers and toes.

The kids were pretty interested in the whole thing on age-appropriate levels.

They were very concerned if Scooter was healthy or not.
Praise God \o/ - it appears that s/he is. ♥

Christmas Morning

Tree pre-in-law presents.

Isn't this cute?
A few weeks ago Champ asked for cotton balls and tape.
He created this costume a la The Grinch.
He insisted he WAS Santa Claus, and that [sic] Champ was still sleeping.
Beau decided to be a complementary elf. ♥

So excited. Waiting for Nan, Ba, and Poppy to arrive for breakfast and gift opening.

Checking out a new, "Planet Earth," coloring book while waiting for our company.

Birthday cake for Jesus.

A few days ago Champ asked us for a box.
He wanted to give us a gift.
So he put change in ziploc bags and drew us some pictures and wrapped up the box.

They were blessed with a trampoline in the basement.
Nothin' like getting a gift you can enjoy in SIX months! ;)

Stocking time!

We went to Nan's house for dinner.
The Brooks family were also her guests.
We had SUCH an amazing and wonderful Christmas!

Christmas Eve with words.

It was our third annual Christmas Eve with our friends, the Brooks.

It was such a fantastic evening.

The kids all had so much fun together.

Look at their faces!
One, Two, Three, JUMP!

They decorated birthday cakes for Jesus for us to each enjoy in our homes the next morning.

And we ate and ate and ate and ate.

And ate.

And enjoyed some yummy Christmas punch. :)

And my socks were knocked off by the amazing surprise gift I received.
Mr. Brooks made a table for us.

MADE. A table.

Isn't it beautiful?

Gingerbread Houses at Church

Saturday we gathered with some of our church family for gingerbread house making, pizza, and a VeggieTales movie.

It was a GREAT activity.
All the kids got into it.

REALLY into it! ;)

Daddy, too.

Music Makers Concert

The kids sang news songs to the LORD during their Christmas concert with the Music Makers at Webster Bible Church.

This photo doesn't do Champ justice.
He sang his heart out and loved it to pieces.
