Christmas!

 I love the look of the tree with all the Presents under it and the lights sparkling. Its magical. Never mind that Madee woke all the kids up at 1am and then 4am and We put them back to bed twice.

 Sam is modeling a tool belt that he received for Christmas.

 Pile of paper and boxes to jump in after it was all over.

 Claire enjoying her new little brush.

 Madee modeling her new circle skirt.

Here is Sam and Madee playing a fishing games. :) Lots of fun on Christmas.

Christmas Eve

 For the Denny Christmas Eve it was a pretty quiet night and I find myself missing extended family especially during the holidays. We did our own special little things though. Madee dressed up as Mary.

 The kids acted out the Nativity. Here is the stable note the star on top. Sam wanted to be a super hero and Claire wanted to be a princess (Angel).

 Here is Mary with Baby Jesus. It was cute they did a good job.

 Sam had a fever Christmas eve so most of his pictures he looks tired or eye's closed kind of a look.

We also let them open one gift matching PJ's :) We had a good night. Hope you all did too.

Stupid injuries

I will not post a picture..I might never post a picture. Yesterday I had some free time while Claire was napping and Sam was playing quietly and I decide to try and make some wall hangings for our living room. All I can say is be very slow and careful with the roll knife that you use to cut fabric. I am mostly mad at my self for not being careful and my pointer finger got in the way of the blade. I got the side of my finger and sadly it bleed a lot and will never look the same :(
Who knew a finger could mean so much to a person. I also realize how much I actually use that finger when I am unable to. My sad rant.
