Christmas 2006

CHRISTMAS MORNING AT OUR HOUSE

This time last Christmas we were so thankful that our baby boy was home and with us on his first Christmas. This Christmas went off with out any trouble! We had so much fun.

We did trick the kids a little

Travis got a sandbox, Audrey got the picnic table.

We put all the gifts in the sandbox, put the lid on.

They woke up and thought that was all they had.

Audrey did have a little crying spell. She said, "I thought I was going to wake up with a pony in my back yard."

And she was really devastated!

He kept telling Sissy to sit, and she was trying to explain to him he had to move over!

My camera hog pushing sissy out of the way for his picture.

They finally got it, and openned up the sandbox.

Christmas Lunch at my parent's house.

Trav loves his Zoe (he can even say it!)

Giving Zoey some of his juice
Giving Zoey her Christmas gift. What I don't have picture of his my day having cow. But you try to keep a 2 year old from kissing his PaPa's dog!

Oh yeah, Trav calls PapPaw, PaPa.

I tell him my PapPaw, and he says, no OUR PaPa. It is so cute.

So we tried to do hand prints. With Travis it was impossible. They came out big smudges.

We made stepping stones for MamMaw, Grandma Lindberg, Grandma Nixon, Mrs. Carol, and Granny. Well I should say- Derik and I made them. After Trav left his mark, we put the kids to bed and started over.

My beautiful princess.

The shirt said Daddy's girl

Ok, I wish I could upload video. I will have to work on that. He was so excited thinking there was something under all the clothes, he was throwing them all out.

Travis wanted it!

I wish you could see her face. It is a baby doll (big deal) on her own horse (even bigger deal)!

Christmas Night and Granny and PawPaw's

She was having such a fun day.

You think she wants to be a cowgirl?
Granny and Paw Paw got him a Tiger that bounces- he would just bounce along has it sang. Totally cute!

Dancing with Tiger again.

When we have guests, he gets it out and shows off for them.

Although we had a fantastic day, this day will always be remember to us as Hailey's day.

This was the night I received a phone call from Hailey's aunt about the accident.

Please, please remember Hailey in your prayers. She has come so far it is unbelievable!
