Oh what a wonderful Christmas!!!!

First was the trip to Texas to see the Grandparents! :D Lots of cooking, and eating, and paper flying, and hugging, and all those things that make people happy! A short, but fun weekend! Here's some pics...

My new watch from Grandmother! (and the only present I have a handy picture of)

Bunch of kids and presents from awesome family

Grandma Vivian and Gram

Fun!

Then came Lane and my trip to Branson with the Rs and the Fs!!! We went to Silver Dollar City (!!!) the first day and shopped around at the outlets the second day before heading home. It was SOOOOOOOO much fun, especially since we'd never been there before. I'm not even gonna try to tell you about it all, so here's some pics!

Well, so basically in a nutshell, that was our Christmas :) Took me forever to find those vids, so I think I'm gonna go now and name all my videos what they actually are :P Bye people!

Never have I wanted to keep a child more.

This is me and my 'Niva. She's one of my AWANA kiddies. I can kind of call them all mine, since I've taught/helped in all their classes (cept Shawn, but I had him in VBS, so). But this one is WAAAAAAY mine! She is such a cutie cuddlebug! About Birdie's age and always ready to do what's next. One thing I love about her is that she's VERY observant--when someone drops a book, she runs from wherever she is to go pick it up. Once when the little guy spilled milk and I was cleaning it up she came from another table with some paper towels! She's the sweetest thing ever and I wish I could take her to live with me someday :)
