Christmas!

4:49 PM |

Well before this day ends, I am determined to post photos of our Christmas 2013.. We had a "quiet" Christmas this year.. Little Grandma and my parents and Aunt Bop were here to celebrate with us.. God blessed us with a beautiful white Christmas too... So, a little glimpse into our Christmas at home!

The only pictures I took on Christmas Eve were of Emme while the others were getting ready for church. Ruby had a touch of the flu on Christmas Eve this year. Thankfully she recovered quickly to enjoy a fun Christmas Day with us!

Ainsley was the first one up on Christmas morning.. So funny, since she has definitely hit the "Tween" stage where she is NEVER the first one up!

Aunt Bop was here which we always love!!! Ainsley was giving her a lesson on Instagram!!!

The only thing Emme asked Santa for was a "Talking Baby.." He delivered, and she had such a sweet day taking care of her new baby! She is the sweetest Mama!

"The Middles" have been asking Grandma to teach them to sew! So, she surprised them with their own sewing machines!!! Next up, a sewing class with her! They were so excited!!!

Sienna and Ruby have become quite proficient at Lego's! This big boat was on their list!!

It seems that Santa shops at Zulilly!!! Jeff must have sent him the link to this great deal!!! These were quite the hit!!! Now we just need Spring to get her soon!

It's not everyday that these girls get cash to spend!!! I believe The American Girl store is their next stop!

Her favorite character from Doc McStuffins showed up in her stocking!

Only Aunt Tina would load up these awesome bags with Arts and Crafts and leave me in charge!!! Of course they have been thrilled with their new activities!! Thanks Tina! :)

I am thankful for another amazing year with our four blessings!!!!!!!

Parent Observation At the Dance Studio!

11:53 PM |

Well I know I have been a "bad blogger" lately so I am trying to make up for it with some December photos! My kids are going to look back on 2013 and wonder why they didn't do much... It's time for me to do a better job of at least documenting the highlights!!!

Yesterday was a highlight! Parent observation at the dance studio where Sienna and Ruby dance. It's actually in the lower level of our church, and I was amazed at the light I was able to get... I loved having the one on one time with both girls. They are in different classes, at different times.. So, here are some of my favorites of my beautiful dancers!

I love this dance school.. They are teaching our girls that they are beautifully created from the inside and out. Every class closes with a prayer that goes something like this, "Thank you God for dance, Thank you God for my family, Thank you God for my friends, Thank you God for my teachers, and Thank you God for beautiful me." It's so sweet!

Thursday afternoon it's Parent Observation for The Little Bean.. I can't wait!

Emme JOY!!!

8:58 AM |

I just realized that with the hub-bub of our activities lately I did not post about Emme's Christmas concert with her new school... One word describes the little girl in the front row.. JOYFUL!

She might not have known every word, but she knew every action and she sang her heart out! You couldn't help but notice the little girl in the Santa smock dress!

It is times like this where you watch and realize just how much God loves us.. He protected this child's spirit while she grew up in an orphanage for three years.. He put the joy in Emme's heart that she so easily shares with everyone she meets.. It is nothing that we have done. It is a God given gift that allows Emme to let her light shine. "Joyful Joyful we adore thee..."

My prayer is that Emme will always share the light she has been given.... wherever she goes!
