Christmas 2013

Christmas was a little different for us this year.  We didn't put up a tree.  We didn't send Christmas cards.  I'm amazed we had gifts for everyone to open.  We asked the kids to donate to a charity of their choosing instead of our typical gift exchange. Bailey wasn't so sure about all the activity but she is such an easy going girl.  She reminds me of her mom.

 Anna was a great Santa helper this year.  She would go get the gifts from under the tree, deliver them to you and them open them for you.

 Bailey was getting an understanding of the process.

 Does she not have the biggest blue eyes you've ever seen?  And they just sparkle.

 Little girls always want to walk in daddy's shoes.

 Anna just cracks me up these days.  She is so dramatic when she goes into pout mode.

Our Asian family spent Christmas in Korea.  We missed having them home.

 Vivi and granddad sends 28 days of Christmas so we always know the boys have many gifts at Christmas.  I thought this was supper sweet of Asher.

 Love you guys and miss you so.

KW and Julie are always so busy during the holidays with events and special parties.  We have to catch up with them before November or after January.  They are in our  hearts always.  They remind you what the spirit of Christmas is all about.

 Love our friends that share our joy for our grand kids.  Mary and Harry are the best!

 We went to Atlanta for Christmas and welcomed Logan home.  The best gift I could ever ask for.  This was grandpa's first time to meet Logan.

 Grandpa and Logan look pretty happy here.

 I love this picture.  Chris and Melissa are loving the gift they have been given.

 I'm speechless how this touches my heart.

 Melissa, her mom (Trish) and Grandmother (June).  We had a lovely Christmas dinner and day.

 You think she loves this boy much???

 Proud moms, grandmas and great mothers.

 Melissa's grandpa, Mark.  Hal loved talking with him.  He has some very interesting stories about his military times of service.

 Logan is one loved and lucky little boy.

 And I'm one very proud mother and grandma!

 Merry Christmas Melissa and Chris.  God has given you a gift of life.

 I love you sweet boy.
