It has been an awesome year and we have had amazing friends and family to spend it with. We are so blessed to have the Aranda's and Herberman's to laugh and celebrate with. God is great!

Movie time with friends. We saw "Annie" and I was really blown away. They did an amazing job recreating the movie. The kids loved it!

The kids love Jingle. Today he found his little buddy. Jillian's Barbie horse is evidently just right for Jingle and Buddy to ride around the house.

December 13

We spent a wonderful evening in Mt. Juliet with Mom and Daddy's Sunday School class. John was invited to be the guest musician. He played beautiful Christmas music. We participated in the silent auction, had wonderful food (prepared by Freddie the Great, aka Daddy), sang carols and were blessed with sweet fellowship.

Jingle figured he would outsmart the kids today by taking their iPods and DS.

We haven't gotten to measure the kids recently, so we got the boards out today to check their growth. They have all had growth spurts!

Today we went to the bank to have Santa pictures made. Everyone did great!  The kids always look forward to it.

Today was Jillian's first basketball practice. Last year she cheered for upward. Granny is very proud that she is playing this year. She actually did very good at shooting. Granny and I were quite impressed!

Jackson is a fast runner. His speed and strength amaze me. He has turned into such a fine young man and I am very proud of him.
