Christmas 2016

The tree is out, the tinsel is put away and new toys are scattered everywhere! Christmas has come and gone once again. We finished 2016 wonderfully, with friends and family!

We had a great Christmas spent at home. The kiddos were excited to wake up and see what Santa had left them and what gifts mom and dad spoiled them with! This year, Benton completely got the concept of gifts and it was so fun to see. Kynzley was excited to see the things that she had on her list when ripping off the wrapping paper. She  received one special gift that she as not expecting and the joy was SOOOO fun to see!!!

Francis and Kynzley both had a week long break from work and school and kept Benton, Brutus and I company. We enjoyed a couple of movies at the theater, running around the children's museum, Kynzley had an all day sports camp at the local college and just being a family. I know Benton really enjoyed having sissy around all week to play with him!

2016 was a great year! We cannot wait to see what 2017 brings!

Christmas party at school! Leave it to Kynzley to tell me right before bed that she would really like to have reindeer antlers for her party, good thing I always have craft material on hand!!

Elfy's last days:


Elfy delivered the kiddo's Christmas pj's, he also left a special gift. He left a candle with the request that we remember the true meaning of Christmas and sing Jesus Happy Birthday!



Mr. Brutus update: Brutus turned 7 months on Dec 30. We did our traditional weigh in and he topped the scales at 101.2lbs!! He's such a good pup! He has been loving the snow - runs around like a crazy dog :) He's great with people and loves to play with other dogs - big or small .... lol okay, all smaller but still!

Any chance he gets he wants to sit or lay in your lap

Two more of our friends. Carley is the female of the group, you can tell that she rules the roost. As she enjoys one of Brutus's bones, Brutus and Red sit and watch!
