Parting ways...

I hate goodbyes. :(

No pictures...too many tears.

The newest family member...

His name is Teddy, but you can call him TED for short. LOL.



He's the new love of the Princess and the favorite TOY of all...



Careful, King...he's bigger than he looks.


OOPS...Watch that head!

And, YES...the only clothes that fit him are mine. Don't even GO there!

The event...(it's a marathon!)

The Story...read from Luke by the Prince like he has every year since he could read and the King passed the baton to him...the blessing of family traditions.











Being Santa...she always used to be his helper, but this year she was the real thing and she did it with JOY.





The gifts...







Made especially for her...


















The Prince loaded some movies onto her player as his gift to her...and she LOVED it.















The decor...









The Photographers...






It's not every day you can stick your tongue out at your MIL and she laughs about it!...that's because she's trigger happy and got me on film...thought I'd go ahead and confess...since she got the last laugh. :)

Christmas carols...

Daddy/Daughter duet





We were all so thrilled to have someone who can actually sit down and read the music.







"Away in a Manger" with GMudda.








Caught him toasting his "buns"...LOL. I'll be in trouble when he reads this, but I "ain't skeart". Bring it on!...I can run fast! :)

Received this today...

Today we got this Christmas card along with the school pictures of the family...notice "Dad" in the midst. She even wrote the year on the back! LOL!!! We LOVED it!


Don't be mad, MKRH, it was TOO funny. Thanks for all the goodies! We feel so blessed!

It came upon a midnight clear....

We love VeggieTales. I brought this nativity from the states and even though it has vegetables in it...it still portrays a lovely picture. The Christ child born in a manger, stepping down from the glories of heaven to enter humanity in the lowliest way. But the most wonderful part of all is that the story doesn't end there...there's more...SO...MUCH....MORE. I hope you're thanking God for the rest of the story this Christmas season.
