Christmas highlights

Elijah was so happy Christmas morning.  He is hooked on Larryboy!  He hangs on to that all the time since then.  It's too cute.  I was wondering when he'd get his 'lovey' and now he has it.

This is Noah's pile of presents that he was saving.  He didn't want to be the first done, so he kept some.  Then he says, 'I guess it would be nice to open another present.'  It was cute.  When he opened his new bible (which was after lots of toys) he was so excited and said, 'A bible!!!  This is the BEST present!!!'  On his trip to NC with Daddy the next day he said he would like a bible every Christmas.  I LOVE that!!  He reads his bibles so much they end up falling apart.

Caleb loved his pirate ship!  So, did Noah.  They played with them the whole morning until we left for Uncle Richie's house.

E's too favorite things were the Larryboy and his Veggie Tale Bible.  He really loves the Veggie Tales.

This is one of Tyler's new Christmas presents.  Caleb kept wearing it.  It freaks me out a bit.  He was so cute.

Uncle Richie and Addison.  So, cute!

This is the best picture of me and my boys on Christmas day!

Tyler getting dressed up in the present we gave the girls.

E thought is was pretty funny.  He was also attached to that bottle since he doesn't get those.

Uncle Richie thought everyone needed to be dressed up, since Tyler and the girls were getting dressed up.  He looks so crazy!

Well, Christmas is over for another year.  That's a bit sad, but in comes the new year and I pray that it will be better than the last.  2008 was a pretty good year, but we did have a LOT of medical issues.  Pray for a better year.  I want to see less urgent cares, ER's and doctors offices.  We'd LOVE to pay less on copays and medicines.

I'm taking one photo workshop trip this year.  It should be great and I'm VERY excited.  Last year I did 2 workshops and one conference.  They helped out a lot.  I'm excited to see where my photography goes from there.  Well, if I'm going to make it though the day tomorrow I need to get some sleep.  Byron and Noah are out of town, so I'm on with no help until Wed.  and they left Friday morning.  It's a long time to be alone.
