Wow, December has vanished and it is time for Christmas! Hope everyone has a great Holiday Season.

Jaxon helped me again with the tree's, (yes they look the same this year as last so if you want to see them look, at last years blog page). Jax was a big help again this year! I was having trouble getting the tree to stand up and was discussing it with Jason. Jason mentioned that they would screw the tree to the floor when he was young. So my darling Jax told me he would fix it, he took his tools and fixed the tree. He came to me and told he had "screwed it", he had placed the bolts from his tool bench on the branches of the tree! He was so proud of himself for fixing it for me. Oh to be three again, life would be so simple!

Abbie sang at school again this year. She did very well. my video was too long to load here but she sang all I want for Christmas is my two front teeth. She is missing one of them so it was fun for her! They also sang "must be santa" and a number with wood and bells. Here are some pictures.

Jax fixed it! Jax would rather play with his ornaments than place them on the tree. Abbie singing 1st grade

Merry Christmas!

I was looking at our old christmas photo's and found these, it was fun to see the kids grow. This is a wonderful part of our christmas tradition thanks to Connie the wife. I do need to find some of my old disc's and pictures prior to digital to put the other years in but it could take me a while. Hope you all have a Merry Christmas!
