Reflection

WOW, What a year! As I reflect back over 2009, we are blessed beyond measure and the Lord has been more than gracious to us all. I can't believe another one has come and gone. Do we stop and realize how fast time is getting away from us?! I mean really 5 years goes by so fast now, when the summer use to seem like an eternity. So thankful, for my family. The Lord has truly poured out his blessings on us this year. Health and happiness have been bountiful. What more could I ask for? I'm so thankful for the hope I have in my Lord and Saviour. I'm so thankful that I KNOW he keeps his promises and will never fail me! He has not ever failed me yet and 2010 will be the same. May I draw closer to him, be a better example to those around me, a better Mother to my precious "Gifts". I wish you and yours health and happiness in 2010! Happy New Year!

May we make the most of every day the Lord gives us.

We had ourselves a Merry Little Christmas!

Santa arrived early Christmas morning! He thought the boys were great this year and left gifts to let them know. They were so excited! Guns, both real and Nerf ones ha, clothes, DS, DS games, XBOX 360 games and the most wanted on the Santa list, Spy Gear. We hung around the house and enjoyed all the fun stuff for a while, then headed to Nana and Pop's for a late lunch. We opened there with them, JJ, Kelly and the boys. TOO MUCH STUFF!! Way too much over the course of the week, but thankful for all the blessings. I can't believe it's already over. Went to Tuscaloosa today and swimsuits are out for Heaven's sake. Could they not wait and let us at least make our traditional, lose weight and get in shape resolution?!

SANTA DELIVERED!!

Houston got this 22. They couldn't wait to get outside and sight it in!
Many previous references in other posts about how Levi loves to smell good! More "Smell good stuff."

Alvin and his harmonica.

Christmas Eve Take 2

Maw Maw Bozeman's house. WOW! Folks everywhere!! As a matter of fact, she bought for 52 people this year. That should give you some idea. I so LOVE this woman. I can't help but think my PawPaw was smiling down on his legacy. My heart hurts to see him again.

Christmas Eve

We always start out at Aunt Debbie's house for lunch. Then we have Christmas Eve Supper at MawMaw Bozeman's. LOVE every crazy second of it. LOUD!!!! Kids running, playing, screaming, whining, crying, laughing, and the list goes on and on. And the adults, some doing the same, ha! What fun times!

Christmas Eve Eve

My immediate family always tries to get together on Christmas Eve Eve. It is just before all the madness and what memories. We usually meet for supper, exchange gifts, play games and most of them usually spend the night. Well, things were a little different this year. Daddy had to work early Christmas Eve, so they left shortly after all the presents. KK and Jeremy had a death in their church and had to leave to be there in the AM for the funeral. But Luke, MK, Ben and Beth did stay. We had a great night and the men loved the new XBOX 360 games the boys received. What a blessing to have all my loved ones close and enjoy their company. I'm amazed how God continues to pour out his love and blessings, when we are all so unworthy. The most precious gift ever, Our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ.

Their family pics are always hilarious. The kiddos haven't reached the camera friendly stage, yet.

IMPOSSIBLE!!Could not get everybody looking at the same time!
Oh yeah, Trio blocks. They both asked KK for them and of course, she delivered.

But the fave of the night was the $100 bill from PePaw and MeMaw.

Christmas Program

I would have to say this is probably the best Christmas Program our little ones have ever done! They did such a wonderful job!! They practiced for over 6 weeks at least 2x a week on Sunday and Wednesday nights. Then on Friday night 2 more times and on Sunday another quick run through. I am so proud of our youth. God has truly blessed our church with some great talent. Our young people are the next generation of Deacons, Sunday School Teachers, choir members, etc. I want to encourage them in any way I can. This world offers them so many distractions but God offers them such peace and I hope they will always look to him for guidance. What some cuties!! Complete with sheep, shepherds, donkies, mice, wise men, star even a little cute Christmas tree. It was adorable. My Levi even sang a solo, so proud!! He has a beautiful voice but at this age is very shy with it. Houston, also sang a beautiful solo, but he on the other hand is not shy with it!ha Love them to pieces and believe the Lord has great and mighty things in their future. Jesus is the reason for the season!!

Dad's Work Party

We also attended Daddy's party for his drivers. As many of you know, he has been a Pastor for many years. But some of you may NOT know, that he also owns a small trucking business. Many irons in the fire, I think that's where I must get it from. SO proud of my parents. I think I have the best in the world of course. What a blessing to have them healthy and close to my boys.
