Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year

The 12 Days before Christmas My Babies gave to Me

When Avery and I were dating, he started this 12 Days Before Christmas thing. He came by my house every morning and left a small stocking on my door knob each labeled with a number. It counted down the 12 days before Christmas with a small gift in each.
We have done this alternating doing it for each other each year since. This year it was his turn so the girls helped pick gifts for me.....Sing the son when you read it...it makes it more fun...

Christmas Parade

It was so much fun at the parade. All the kids did so good. They got out some and walked while throwing candy. Joann did an awesome job on the clown costumes for the girls! Hats off to Josh and the Jaycees truck for picking up a Raggedy Ann who got away from the bus!!! Next year we can add Bert to the bunch!!
