3 Christmases down, 1 to go


Christmas #1:  The HOSSELTON Christmas. 

For some reason, I have NO (zero, none, zilch, nada) pictures from this gathering.  I don't know why.  If anyone has some, maybe they can let me know :)

BUT.....the most awesome news came out of that Christmas celebration with my dad's side of our family.  My cousin, Lindsey, and her husband, Rob, announced that they were expecting!!  And then we just found out a few days ago that they are expecting twins.  So incredibly happy for them!  We know a bit about what it's like to be on a journey waiting for God's timing in giving you a child, and we are so so so SO HAPPY for you guys!!!!


Christmas #2:  The JENKINS Christmas

Well, I have plenty of pictures from this one, but mostly of the kids and Santa - although there are a few more if you look on my facebook page.
 Avery and Bentley having a little chat with Santa.  Avery was SO excited to show him her Matilda DVD.  She showed it to him as soon as he got in the door and about 10 times after that.  So cute!

 Ben.....not so sure about the big guy.

 Obviously Ethan is still contemplating just exactly what is on his list.


 Is it just me or does Elliott look almost too big to be sitting there on Santa's lap??  Santa might have been thinking that after he sat down :)


 Brady is definitely sure about Santa.....that he wants no part of him!  Such a funny picture.



Christmas #3:  The HOSSELTON Christmas

This one was my sisters and parents and our families.  Tons of pictures of course, but I spared you and only put my favorites on here.  THE favorite is the tug of war that Ben and Eli had over that Elmo DVD (that Eli didn't care anything about until Ben got his hands on it by the way).  I can't believe we caught that on film.  See the post below for the picture.



 Erin and Ryan sent the boys on a treasure hunt, complete with maps of the house and clues.  They LOVED this - and it was a bonus that they found $20 at the end of the hunt.  It was hard to keep up with them, too!


 How much cuter could this kid be?  He wanted a cookie and then licked all the red icing off of it (of course).  Look how happy he is to get all that sugar!


Cutest boys ever.

So we are home now for the duration of Christmas break and very happy about that.  Especially now that we're supposed to get some snow tomorrow.  The boys are supposed to be in the Christmas Eve service at church tomorrow night, so I'll be bummed if we're not able to do that.  But the laundry is almost done, the house is about as clean as it is going to be, one more batch of cookies to bake, no more runs to Walmart (yay!), just a few presents to wrap, and a lot of fun and relaxing to do with all my guys.  So looking forward to that!
