Next was Christmas! Nanna and Gramps were suppose to come for a visit and spend Christmas with us. But, we didn't know if that would happen since the roads were closed and they couldn't get through. so we prayed and God again was good He opened the roads and they were allowed to go through. so they stayed with us for five wounderful days we ate, drank, played, opened presents, watched movies, shopped and played cards. It was a blessed time the kids had a blast and already miss them. The kids also got lots of gifts some of their favorites were well they loved them all!!!! They love their gifts from Nanna and Gramps which was Narnia the movie and the Narnia castle along with many acessories. They love it. also another favoite is there kitchen set which mom spent all day putting together all the food which their aunt provided. also they love their starwars figures. Cootsie bootsie got a Godz girls doll named Abigail and some new doll clothes for her baby. which she loves.She also got a couch a princess one. it was a great Christmas.

So then the next thing to happen was the snow started and it kept going and going and going. so we enjoyed it. Grammie came over and we went sledding, then we made our favorite snow treat. I know what you're thinking but, it was not hot coco. See we made real snow cones. yes we are crazy. then we made a fire to warm up what a great winter treat. We are so blessed to have a Gramie like her to make simple things so special.

The next woundeful thing that happened was our Christmas program at church it was amazing how God put everything together in just the right way. the kids were cute and funny the music was inspiring and the words our pastor spoke were just simpleand perfect. It was only something God could have directed himself. What an amazing God we have. Here are a few pics to show you.

Well Christmas has come and gone and we have had lots of blessings first at the beginning of the month we had a visit from our family in Washington. We don't get to see them a lot so it's special when we do. It was great to see how their boys are growing and to get parenting tips from them as well they are wounderful parents. Keep up the good work guys and may God coninue to bless you all year long.

Then there is Cootsie Bootsie as her brothers call her she is the apple of all the boys hearts. She is deffinately the one in controll of both her brothers and daddy. mommy on the other hand knows her game plan. win over the natives and set the trap. Ha! Ha! She has started walking, is sometimes pottying on the potty, drinking from a cup, saying a few words, throwing temper tantrums, and has had her first birthday. She is quite a spitfire.If she wants your attention oris being bothered or picked onshe will grawl at you. It is quite funny. She makes mean faces at anyone who tries totalk to her. except PopPop. who she loves. She is so smart it blows my mind I think she is smarter than all the boys put together. She insists on calling Daddy Mommy which really ticks daddy off I think that's the only reason she does it. She loves babbies and guns what a girl. Her favorite thing to do is pick on BAM. She is the best sleeper In this house. As of today her height and weight put her in the 96th percentile more for weight than height.......

Then there is BAM he has had lots of things this year he decided he was going to potty train that has gone well and I prayerfully think he is finished. he turned three which we all know is a wounderful age. he is stubborn and sweet all at the same time. If he's mad at you he will call you baddy momma or brother or whoever. He likes to tell you no and then smiles and says sorry I'm willy sorry to get out of a time out or whatever the consaquence is that time. he and I have a battle of wills constantly it's wounderful. He also is the first to help out and wants to be just as smart with school as big brother and almost is. It's amazing how different they can be and how much you can love them all. they are so amazing. God has really blessed me over and above what I deserve.

He has also done some traveling this year to Holland, Germany, and also California. While he was in Germany he was able to take a few days vacation and spend with a friend it was a great experience and a fun time. He got to see the main headquarters for Nehneums and some site seeing.great stuff. This next year will be exciting as well as he will be doing more school and everything else. I can't find a pic right now but, I will post some latter. the next thing that happened was C.J. graduated from pre-school that was fun he still had one more year of preschool but, we did it anyway. he went back to school in september then decided he would like to spend the rest of the year at home with mommy. I really loved to hear that he would want to stay home with me. He is so smart he can recall most sounds of his letters and is starting to put words together. He is a wounderful, sensative, strong boy and I truly believe he wishes for Jesus to reign in his life....
