Christmas Eve Workout

Yesterday Tim declared that we all were going up to his work to exercise together. Surprisingly, no one balked at this idea. We spent a little over an hour working off all the food we plan to eat these next few days. Tim started off with a safety briefing. Seriously, he did. Mom is the only one who paid attention.

Starbucks Run!

Lainie, thanks for the Starbucks Gift Card! We made a run after opening Christmas gifts. Jake especially loves coffee!!!!

Christmas Eve Fun!

It was been snowing all morning! But since it was 70 degrees yesterday, none is sticking. :(

He has the cutest little boy bed-head!

Abby Kate loves her new horse Anne Marie!

Getting ready to grow some herbs! Thanks Lainie!

Decorating the gingerbread house- Thanks Aunt Kel!

Now- this is crazy- look at how much these 2 look alike!

Snowing on our Christmas Morning!

It was snowing when we woke up this morning! There was a little more coverage after this picture. Guess who begged to bring Patches in the playroom, and guess who said "Yes"...not Mom!

Jo, do you recognize these goggles at the top of the stockings?

After the Santa gifts at the fireplace, we moved to the playroom for the tree.

Jake with a new Jones TKD shirt.

Cher-Bear...remember that Laser game that was on clearance at Target that I picked up at the last second? It was a favorite gift that they have played all morning! Lane and Jake are playing it right now. Kel, yes, we used the tripod and timer on the family photo in yesterday's post. I hope you all have a wonderful Christmas Eve and Christmas. I love you all and am so thankful I saw so many of you this Christmas season. Julie

An Early Christmas Eve at the Andersons

We celebrated an early Christmas Eve tonight, attending a special devotional service at 6th & Jackson, then playing a game while watching one of the kids' "Christmas Eve" gifts (they each opened one) - "Night at the Museum - Smithsonian." We'll do our Christmas tomorrow, since Homer and Maxine arrive mid-morning Friday. God Bless!

a Christmas concert at Prestonwood Baptist Church...

This big tree is in front of their church..here is Faith & Hannah with Cora & Wren...

I was going through pictures and saw these and just HAD to post them! Where has the time gone???

This one below looks like Toby! I loved it when the girls were this age- both learning so much and so fun together!

The girls decorated Toby for his circumcision!
