Better Late Than Never

I am not sure where Christmas went! It came so fast and so much happened during that time that I am behind on my blog posts! Sorry, to all who read regularly!

Toby was in Bro. Anthony's illustrated sermon as a wiseman. Here he is with his beard! I told him he looks like an author! Can't you see this picture on the back of a book?

The weeks leading up to Christmas were filled to the brim with baking, Imagine Christmas, Christmas music, decorating, sharing Christmas joy, family, laughing, and just enjoying our time together. This is Kensli's second Christmas with us and the 1st year she understands what presents are all about! Last year she was sick and screamed bloody murder when we tried to take the wrapping off her presents. So, this Christmas was so much fun!

Graycie, our big baby cat, went missing around Halloween. Mother gave us this older kitten as a replacement. She is beautiful!!!! She thought the tree was her personal playground this year. Between Kensli and Elli, I feared that the tree wouldn't make the season! Thankfully it did!

Nicholas waiting on the goodies!

Kensli all smiles because she thinks she is getting some of these! Of course, she got her fill!

Kensli was in Sleigh Ride in the pre-show! She had so much fun! She walked a little dog with J.

Nicholas was in Sleigh Ride, too, but somehow I managed to miss taking a picture of him.

Kensli told everyone, that would listen, she had asked Santa for a "doghouse." She really meant doll house and Santa knew what she meant! She was so excited!

On Christmas Eve, Toby's family came and we enjoyed spending some time with them. Then, Toby and I were up until 2 am putting together and wrapping all the presents! Boy, what you will do to make sure their faces light up on Christmas morning!

My family came for Christmas morning and spent two days with us! It was very relaxed and loads of fun!

The night after Christmas, we had our Annual Family Gumbo Supper for extended family! We always have so much fun visiting with those that we haven't seen all year! Some of the family comes from as far away as Tennessee!
