Our Christmas morning started off by getting woken up by 8:00 am. The kids ran into our room and wanted daddy to check if Santa had come. I got up immediately but... Daddy was another story. He was taking his sweet time. So it took some work on the kids part to get him up and when daddy was up the kids raced down to see what Santa had brought. First they went to see if Santa ate the cookies and the reindeer ate the carrots. Then off to see the Tree. I love to see their faces on Christmas morning.
Renee was excited as she got a Fancy Nancy puzzle from the Dotsons.

I printed out the vynal letters for Shannon to put above her couch on a drop down beam.

On December 26 Renee had her stitches out. She wanted Harrison to go with her as he had stitches in his had exactly one year ago. We love how supportive Harrison was.
Okay I didn't really put the pictures in the best order. Below is a picture of Tanner receiving his last gift. Our friend/neighbor makes Guitars. For the past 3 years Tanner has watched him make them and has expressed his desire to have one. For 3 years he kept saying to Wayne "Is that my Guitar?" Tanner even showed him a picture of how he wanted Wilson to build it. So we had Wilson make it for Christmas. He started building it back in the summer. Little by little the end result was above our expectation. It is absolutely amazing. The Guitar plays acoustic, and electric. The speakers, amplifier, are built in. Wilson even put in a jack that allows only Tanner to hear him playing. That was a bonus. Thank you Wilson for making Tanner's Day, week, month, Year and many more years to come.
priceless




Renee is always taking our camera. She takes pictures of everything. She is quit the Photographer. Jeramie wanted to get her her first camera. She was totally surprised. It was an unexpected gift.
Grandma Cameron made the kids aprons. They loved them and put them on right away. I loved them too. They were perfect. Thank you

Such a little mommy.


I love their faces when they are excited. Tanner loves comic books.

Tanner off to play in the snow. We got creative with out having snow clothes. He had a pair of socks on with a bag over the top to keep the heat in then another pair of socks over the top. then big bags over that tied to his jeans and a pair of sweats over the bags. He stayed warm. The first time in the snow he was cold and we had to pop him in the warm bath to thaw him out. Tanner thought that this was fun.
