Christmas Craziness!!

A was very excited about her gift from Daddy!

A's 7th birthday cake

Our "Happy Birthday Jesus" cake! Not the most glamorous one we've made, but it was 11:00 on Christmas Eve when I found the time to decorate it!


T made this Santa out of clay up in her room one day...I was very impressed!



After years of perfectly posed little girls on our Christmas cards, this is what our "photo shoot" turned into this year! Obviously baby R was not impressed with sitting still and smiling pretty for the camera...he felt everyone should see his tricks on our Christmas cards this year!




It has been a good while since I have posted, but things have been SO busy!! We celebrated Christmas here at home and enjoyed Christmas dinner and some crazy fun bingo with my entire extended family...it was great to see everyone again! Then we celebrated A's 7th birthday two days after Christmas, and then the next day the kids, me, and MiMi & PaPa headed off for a two-night trip to Branson! We got to sleep at home for one night and then the kids and I headed off to Oklahoma to celebrate "Christmas on New Year's Eve" with R's family. It was great to see everyone there again, and it was nice to ring in the new year with R's family since we couldn't be with him! We got home on New Year's day (also Sable's 10th birthday) and I spent the next full day unpacking. Then today was busy taking down the Christmas lights and tree and putting all that stuff away! WHEW...now we are caught up!! And now that we have made it to 2009...only 2 more months until R comes home from Iraq!!! Yeah! So anyway, here are some pictures that tell the story of the last month of our lives...
