Christmas 2014


Merry Christmas My Littlest Angel....

Here you are with your big brothers under the Christmas tree.  I must admit the three of you are my best Christmas gifts ever.  Poppa and I love spending Christmas with you.  We love to watch you get excited and open your gifts and spend time with the entire family.  


 This year we also got to spend Christmas with Auntie Becky and cousin Emma.  This is the first Christmas that Poppa and Diva have had all our grandchildren together .  All of you are building with Magna Tiles.  Poppa is a really good builder and you like having all his attention.  He keeps your brothers from taking all your tiles.  Building with Poppa is always a favorite activity of yours.




Auntie Rachel's Mommy and Daddy sent a huge container of different flavored popcorn.  All you liked it very much.  You are guarding it in this picture against the big kids.  The flavors were caramel, buttered, cinnamon, and regular.   Popcorn was a nice treat.




 We also made candy necklaces to wear to Christmas Eve Candlelight service.  Your brothers ate theirs during the service.  You would hand me the color you wanted next on the the string.  Your tongue turned bright blue from eating the candy beads.

 
Mommy and Auntie Becky let everyone decorate gingerbread houses with candy, frosting and lots of imagination.  You ate most of the decorations and they were delicious.





You are still pretty little so I'm sure you won't remember any of this day but your Diva and Poppa will never forget it.  We had lots of fun being with all of you. 

We pray that you will always celebrate the birth of Jesus and come to love him at an early age.  We pray for you every single day.

XOXO    Your Diva

The PJ line up

Dear Henry,

   It's almost Christmas and everyone is excited to see what kind of presents will be under the tree in the morning.  This is a special Christmas because Auntie Becky and Emma are here with us from Canada this year.  It is a special Christmas for Diva and Poppa also as we will have all our grandchildren together for Christmas

  All of you got new pajamas so here you are dressed up in front of the fire place showing them off. Emma is enjoying modeling and showing off her new pajamas (trust me, girls enjoy doing that). Oz got to wear the Santa hat so he is excited and showing off for Emma.  Charlie is standing up like a little soldier showing off his new pajamas (two seconds later he was modeling like Emma). You sweet Henry did not want your picture taken but did not want to go to bed either.

This picture is preserved in my heart and in my memory as being one of the best Christmas' so far.  Know that your Poppa and Diva have full hearts to be so blessed by our grandchildren.


Your Diva and Poppa
