A Little of This and a Little of That

Arnold girls love Eli. Malyn even has a kiss puckered up for him.
 Mattie Sue loving some of her Christmas gifts. I caught her privately playing
 Christmas eve (at 11am). Look who we found at the Christmas eve program at church. The Kruger grandchildren. What a darling bunch of children.
 Thank you Cindy. I'll be sure to get Sutton the same thing for Christmas in a couple of years. You'll see just how much that gift is loved by little girls. And how much it's not loved by big girls. :) Really was a fun gift. They LOVED it.
 Blurry but no clear pictures when playing king of the mountain and monster man with the worlds best Auntie. Auntie Jenny is more fun than a barrel of monkeys. No limits on fun from grandparents and Aunties. :)
 Christmas morning. Only Stacy and I were up and so with our tea lattes all made and fire going we decided to take some pictures of baby Eli in a stocking. We had about 30 minutes of peace and quiet and a crackling fire, hot tea and a sleepy baby and the chance to thank God for this wonderful morning with a tree filled with Christmas gift and a loving family to spend the day with. Ahhh I'm a happy woman! So blessed and happy!
 A day at La Canterra walking around and stopping at some stores. Here is Ryan leading Rudolf around the outside mall. Click on picture to see Rudolph's head piece.
 Then, while in Barnes and Noble Mattie Sue got up on the stage in the children s section of books and did a little dance. Love her spontaneity.
 Then Malyn and Ryan got into the act. I have some talented grand kids. :)
 Movie night with popcorn and a pallet made by Auntie Jenny. This was our girls night in so we were off in the other room enjoying a wonderful dinner prepared by Jenny and Jessica. I love my daughters. Thank you God. I don't thank you enough for these precious daughters you gave me.
 Annie. We went to the play over the holidays. Although Malyn and I spent the last half of the play out in the hall and playing on the steps she managed to get into the picture. Mattie Sue was star struck. So sweet.
 Time to hang up the hat on this Christmas. Good Bye 2010 and hello 2011.
