Christmas Morning
Christmas Morning, look at what all Santa brought us!!
Austin, Hailee and Bodie were full of excitment on Christmas morning when they saw that Santa had been and left them lots of goodies!! Austin loves his xbox 360 kinect, Hailee loves her Big Barbie house, and Bodie Kale loves all his toys (I think he likes Austin and Hailee's more though).

25 Days of Joy~ Day 24
Day 24
Bodie recieved this from Mamaw Cindy and Papaw Bill for Christmas this year, and we love it. This "Sock Monkey in a Box" brings our whole family joy!! The kids gather around this thing and turn the knob round and round, giggling until the monkey pops out! It is so cute to watch them get so excited over this. So thank you Cindy and Bill for this gift that brings us joy!!

These two sitting around the table, creating birthday cards for their cousin brings me joy. I love listening to them discuss what they are drawing, and laughing.

Enjoying our break
This week has been so nice so far. We decided to take a break from school for the week, while Jesse is on vacation and at home. We usually don't take to much time off at Christmas, but I decided that we needed it! So we are all enjoying our break:)
Our goals for the week was to organize and clean closets.... I so dreaded this project but it needed to be done. I finally got Austin and Hailee's closet's organized!! Now if it would just stay like that. Everything is organized in totes and marked...
We also treated ourselves to a new TV!! So Jesse spent some of the day yesterday putting together our new stand and hanging the tv, along with hooking everything else up. The kids are loving the BIG tv, and well so are we :)
Hope you are all having a nice start to the week! Can't believe that Christmas is in 4 days...

Out to Eat
On Wednesday evening, my parents and sister Molli came up and we headed to Greenwood. We went out to eat at Joe's Crab Shack. We love eating there, or at least Jesse and I do!
Molli and Jesse had to wear these cute BIBs cause they were eating Snow Crab:)
After we got done we made a trip to Toys R Us because Austin and Hailee were wanting a Hex Bug battle arena. And this is what Bodie Kale found....
He loved this Cadillac, and didn't want to get out of it. Who knows maybe he will need one sometime soon??

Day 8
My kids have a terrific dad! It brings me joy to watch my kids with their dad. I love the fact that Jesse will lay down in Bodie's little bed and try to get him to sleep in it... But the joke is on daddy cause Bodie always ends up in our bed right in the middle all cozy with his daddy:)
