Christmas Chaos

When our family gets together for holidays and whatever else, we always have a blast. Holidays are a great time to make fun of each other in everyway we can, eat more food than is ever necessary and to get hardly any sleep at all because someone will have to sleep in the special room! Even though we were all crammed into the cabin in Cloudcroft, NM. we managed to get along the entire time and laugh until our sides hurt always. This Christmas was one of the best!

I feel so blessed to have a family like mine.

Noone makes me laugh like my sister Stacy, she is beautiful and forever hilarious!

Jaime is the hottest coffee mug model I have ever seen.

This is all he wanted for Christmas! I don't know why I bothered buying him anything.

Movies and More Movies!

Sledding is harder when there really isn't any snow! Ice and rock make it much more challenging!

Gabby forever the clown.!

Today I was looking at our family pictures from over the years and I realized that there were so many memories I had forgotten about. I thought if I had forgotten them, then I was certain our girls had too. So I decided I would try to keep up with a blog spot, for a while at least, so that the girls and our friends and family could look back any time they wanted to remember how blessed by God we are and how amazing our lives have been together.

I am not really the type person that will sit down and scrapbook or put photos in an album. I prefer to throw them all in a box in no order what so ever. Jaime on the other hand has been great since the invention of the digital camera to take pictures and organize them on his computer.

So thanks to him I was able to post several pictures of some really great memories with family and friends we created while living in Kenya, East Africa over a ten year period.
