Christmas

Christmas was extra magical this year because of our children. Heyward understood more of what was going on and was soooooo excited the whole season. He even did a little shopping of his own and I was really impressed at the good job he did selecting his gifts. He asked Santa for a Rocket Ship. Santa was stumped for a few days, but finally was able to fill the request last minute! Laurie Beth was her usual cheerful, smiley self. She and Heyward are two lucky kids. They were showered with nice gifts from everyone! We are still recovering from all the excitement. I am overwhelmed by the amount of love we received from our friends and family this season. I am grateful we got to see everyone and share in the joy of Christmas with them. I hope our families truly understand how much we appreciate them and all they do to help our little family of four survive this thing called life.


Wake up sweet Heyward...Santa has come to see you!

Little Dude







Santa came early and brought Heyward a pony! heyward named him "Little Dude." He was so excited and happy!

The Polar Express!









Meme and Papa took our family to ride the Polar Express this past weekend. We rented a house on top (and I mean the very top) of a mountain, it snowed and we consumed LOTS of sweets! Heyward and Laurie Beth had a ball and got to experience lots of new things! Heyward had his first trip to the mountains, first snowball fight, first snowman, and first train ride....Laurie Beth had her first trip to the mountains, first snow, first train ride and her first time meeting Santa! We got so many great pictures too! I feel sure this is the beginning of a fabulous family tradition!
