Merry Christmas!

December 25, 2016 by Adrienne

Merry Christmas! I tried to get a shot of the kids before church this morning. Fun times.

First, I tried for a shot of the kids that came outside first. Proof that, no matter how many kids are in the photo, they still won’t all look and smile at the same time.

Good grief, Ellie Adelaide!

Sterling and Pierce got ammo bags for Christmas… Or “Bible, pen, paper, and a wood play knife I stole from Ellie’s cooking stuff because it resembles a weapon” take to church bag. Sterling hasn’t been seen without his bag since he opened it.

Organizing gifts after opening, big family style. Each kid has their own, plus one for Blaine and I.

That’s a lot of stockings! 

I hope you all had a great Christmas. We did gifts Saturday, then church and a large evening meal Sunday. The highs  temps over the weekend have been 50s and 60s. Among other things, the kids got a volleyball and rubber bases for kickball and baseball. All have seen much use this weekend!

Tomorrow our company arrives. Fun!

    It is still a pic. At least you have a 2016 CHRISTmas picture of the kiddos.

    The ammo bag is a neat idea. I am sure they wi enjoy it.

    Sounds like it has been a Merry CHRISTmas so far.

    Your children look very nice. In know you sewed the boys vests. Did you sew any of the girls dresses as well? I know you were busy sewing this past week. Charlotte’s purse looks familiar : – )

    Merry Christmas Adrienne
