Merry Christmas!!

We had a little bit of a different Christmas this year. When I sat down with my mom and sister, we came to the conclusion that between us, we bought Christmas for 12 additional children this year! Crazy! It feels really good though. And I have to say thank you to my wonderful husband Brady who allowed me to do that. He sacrificed a lot of his Christmas for these kids. We spent Christmas Eve with my family and had a wonderful dinner and opened our gifts from each other. And on Christmas morning we went back to my parents and had breakfast and opened presents from Santa. Then we went to the Jones' and opened presents from Santa there. It really makes me want my baby to come out at 3, cuz they are just sooo stinkin' cute about Christmas at that age. lol. We spent the rest of the afternoon lounging around the house and at about 7pm we went over to my sisters house and watched THE OFFICE on DVD. What a GREAT show. I recommend it to EVERYONE!! We hope you all had a wonderful holiday and missed everyone we didn't spend the holiday with this year.

MERRY CHRISTMAS (a little late...)!!! It sounds like you all had a great Christmas and how fun that you got to share it with some other children as well. Bethany sure missed her "Jansson" side at Christmas...maybe next year! :)

I'm glad everyone had a good Christmas. I really missed you all. When we talked to everyone on Christmas Eve and I heard Brianna's contagious laugh in the background I was wishing I was there. But, it's been fun here, too. I wish I could have my families live close like you. :) Oh well. I'm glad you all were able to do so much for all of the kids. That's awesome. Poke the baby for me. :) Hehe Love ya

Mahins-
I think you are a very smart lady! A 3 yr old would be perfect. You would miss all the tantrums (or most of them), the kid would be potty trained, no every 3-4 hours during the night to breast/bottle feed and they can entertain and feed themselves. You've come up with a brilliant idea, lets hear it for the 3 year olds...wahooo!
Merry Christmas.
Love YOu!
