Life Group Christmas Party

We had a wild and crazy Christmas party with our Life Group tonight. Somehow we stuffed 20 people into our home and partied with food, fellowship, food, presents, food, playing, food, children everywhere, and did I mention food? It was crazy and a bit chaotic (ok, maybe a whole lot) with all our kiddos running, crawling, crying, and even sleeping all over the house. We surely scared our friends without children into abstinence for awhile. Even with all the craziness though, it was alot of fun!

This picture does a pretty good job of showing the craziness of the evening. Do you see any extra room? Every bit of space was taken up with a body. It's good to have so many friends that my home can't hold them all. What a blessing!

WARNING!!! THE FOLLOWING PICTURES ARE FOR MATURE AUDIENCES!!!!

Whoo-hoo!

Ok. Now he's just going too far.

Scandelous!

Webb and Tate look on in disgust as Marco models for the camera, and Will can't even bring himself to look. We were all embarassed by Marco's shameful behavior.

It's Beginning to look alot like Christmas

We had a fun time setting up our family Christmas tree this weekend. Noah is old enough this year to better appreciate all of the festivities and was TOTALLY into helping us set up the tree. We first had to get the tree out of the attic. Noah BEGGED us to let him go up in the attic. Very hesitantly I let him after he and Daddy both begged and pleaded, and Daddy assured me he would be perfectly safe. So, Noah went up with Daddy, and they both handed me the branches of the Christmas tree. Noah was very proud of himself.

Noah loved hanging up the branches on the "tree stick" he called it

Isn't he so stinkin' cute!?

CHEESE!

Noah's all about the cookies!

Noah wanted all of his ornaments "up high."

Noah really did help out this year. We had to put all of the empty Christmas boxes back in the attic, so Daddy was in the attic. I stood on the ladder, and Noah brought all the boxes to me so I could pass them up to Daddy. It was very nice to have some help. The picture above shows Noah vacuuming up all the little berry debris that falls off of some of our Christmas garland every year. I went to vacuum it up, and Noah pleaded for me to let him do it. He vacuumed and vacuumed and vacuumed. He actually did a great job.

City Sidewalks

Noah and I went to the City Sidewalks parade tonight. We got a great parking spot which God opened up just for us because it was a mad house downtown! We ended up sitting right beside the Porter family and enjoyed getting to visit with them throughout the evening. Noah sat in his little lawn chair and intently watched all the floats go by. He told me his favorite part was the horses. There were beautiful Clydesdale horses in the parade. I think they were one of my favorite parts too. They are so pretty.

I thought this float was very funny and unusual.

We always grab dinner from there after the parade each year.

CHEEEEEEEESE!

Look What I Found

Ok. My mom has totally been holding out on me. I borrowed her camera today because Marco took ours with him out-of-town. When I went to download my pictures off of it, I found a goldmine. She still had all her pictures on it that she'd taken for the past year. So, I helped myself and saved a bunch on my computer. Here are a few sweet ones that I especially liked.

How Cute!

Christmas Past

I was looking through pictures and enjoyed so much seeing how Noah has changed since last year. I thought I would share a few with you (ok, a bunch!).
