We had another wonderful Christmas with all our friends and family. It was a busy week, but well worth it. We went Christmas Caroling at the Moran's house and also did a cookie exchange with a bunch of friends from church. It rained on us most of the time and it was freezing, but the kids had a blast and I got to come home with A LOT of good cookies. We just love spending time with all of them and fellowship with all these great people.
Christmas eve started early for us since Cory had to work Christmas day. We went to church and they had a outside service with was AMAZING and then we went to Rigatony's for dinner with Cory's dad and step-mom Jackie. While we where gone Santa came!!! Austyn was so excited and I think Haydyn had no idea what was going on she just was following her brother around. They made out very well and got way to much stuff!!! My parents and Sister showed up later that evening so they could see the kids all dressed up!!
Christmas morning the kids and I just hung out until my mom and dad came over. We opened up more presents and had lunch. It was hard not having Cory here, but he has had the past 4 Christmas off, so it was his turn. We went to dinner at the fire station and hung out for a while until Haydyn was DONE!! She has been dealing with an double ear infection so she was not the happiest on Christmas day.
On Saturday we went over to Cory's moms house to do x-mas with her and the kids got spoiled over there also. Austyn got a bunch of Lego's from his Uncle Drew and has been very busy working on that every day. I would never think that my son would be interested in Lego's, since you have to sit still!! I think its because its challenging for him so he enjoys it.

Still here.......

Austyn had his Christmas program last week at school, along with a sinus infection and Haydyn a double ear infection. LIFE IS GOOD!! GOD loves to challenge me!! Anyways....he saw me right away and I thought he wouldn't do it, but he sang away and didn't get embarrassed at all!! Cory had to work that night so my mom and dad came to support him also. He looked so handsome and of course I got all teared up when he came walking into the church, he is getting so big. I just loved watching him sing his heart out for JESUS and knowing he loves that school. We have been busy getting ready for Christmas, Cory has to work Christmas day so Santa is coming early this year to our house. I was bummed when he told me that he had to work,but realized he has had the past 4 off so its his time this year. We will go have dinner with him that night at the fire station. I am ready for Christmas and to celebrate JESUS birthday!! Every year we wake up on Christmas morning and sing happy birthday to Jesus and I always buy a cake, so this year Austyn asked if we could have a "breakfast" food for baby Jesus instead of cake first thing in the morning....so Austyn picked Cinnamon rolls!!!! GOOD IDEA AUSTYN!! Enjoy the pictures and I will be posting more since this is going to be a busy week!!!!! BLESSINGS TO ALL OF YOU!!
