It's craft time for the girls.

I have no idea what she's opening here, but what a cute and funny face!

Kinex!

Mommy's sweet babies and husband surprise her with a special gift!  The best part was seeing how excited they were to give it to me and watch me open it.  I LOOOOOOVE my family.

No longer will we just play this game in the aisles of every Target we enter, because we now own it.  BopIt, here we come!!!

Oh my goodness, now Mommy and Maddie have matching boots, and you know we are going to wear them together.  Watch out because soon we'll also have matching earrings!

Christmas Day at the Wells' brought great joy and excitement as we celebrated Jesus' birthday.  As soon as Madeline and Ryan woke up, they ran into our room excited to see if Santa had come.  After going down to turn on the coffee pot and the tree and garland lights, we let them come down and see for themselves whether or not Santa had come.  Of course, they were beyond excited to see that he had come and that he and the reindeers had snacked on the cookies and carrots we had put out for them.  Once all the gifts were opened, we told them that they had one more gift from Mommy and Daddy that was in the basement.  We led them down, and their reactions were priceless when they laid eyes on the trampoline.  There were lots and lots of squeals and screams and jumps.  

A few hours later, we had a wonderful lunch of ham, carrot souffle, rolls, stuffing, potato cheese soup, and sesame seed green beans.  For dessert we had angel food cake with strawberries and whipped cream.  And as another surprise we told Madeline and Ryan that we were taking them to the movies to see Tangled.  It was such fun.  We love to see them belly laugh at movies, and Tangled had many moments that provoked those precious laughs.  That night we took Bobo for a walk and enjoyed hanging out together and talking about Jesus and how wonderful it is to celebrate his birthday.  It was a very, very special day.  We are so grateful for our sweet family.  Even little Ry said, "I love our family", over and over again.  Hearing that, of course, makes our hearts do flip flops.  Too precious.  Thank you, Jesus for these special days.
