Twas the Night Before Christmas- By my Grandpa Denney

Aden making his Grandma and Grandpa's Christmas Reindeer cards

I do it all for the presents!

Aden's shirt was given to him by his Aunt Chris. It says "I do it all for the presents!" He is so cute. He has been climbing in his toy box all the time but then wines because he doesn't know how to get out.

Merry Christmas!

One of my favorite things to do is decorate for Christmas. Well I am an interior designer/decorator and Christmas is my favorite holiday. If I ever go into the field to work I would like to be a commercial Christmas decorator in malls and for individual window displays. I think that would be so much fun!

Eric and I have been studying Christmas Tree decorating and this is my tree before...

And after.... I decided to do a more professional look then homemade look with family ornaments this year. I hung my ornaments around the house in other places to enjoy them. All the presents under the tree are for Aden.... ;) We didn't put in the bottom insert of the tree and placed it on the Armoire so Aden couldn't reach it.

I want to make Aden a stocking to match these. If anyone knows where I can get the best priced corduroy please let me know because it is hard to find.

MERRY CHRISTMAS- May we all feel and give our Saviors love a little more this month ;)

Thanksgiving

We had the stomach flu the week of Thanskgiving. Gratefully we were well enough to eat on Thanksgiving day but we were probably still contagious and didn't want to share the terrible flu with our Grandparents, nieces and nephews that were more prone to getting it. So we had our first Thanksgiving at home, just the three of us.

Eric baked our first bone-in ham and it was delicious and gone within in a couple days.

Aden loves spaghetti so he feasted on that and was full and content. :)
After naps we had a fun family game of basketball. Papa and Aden against Mama. Let's just say Aden made most the baskets and they won by a landslide. Later we played bowling with Aden's plastic pins and Mom beat the boys at that.
Aden was running back and forth laughing so hard. He would go throw the ball in and then clap and give high fives. It was awesome. For being sick we made the few moments of energy totally worth it and still had a great Thanksgiving. I'm glad my family had a great Thanksgiving even though we weren't able to come too.
