CHRISTMAS

No.  We did not buy this for Grayer...it was for Dade, but Gray could tell it was going to be fun.

Little back story...Dade has been asking for one of these for more than a year.  Dain told him he would have to save up all his money.  He has been saving his pennies ever since (most of which he finds on the ground at the grocery store).  A few months ago, we were driving around our soon to be neighborhood and he saw a little girl riding around on one of these and asked me..."Mom, how did she get enough pennies to buy one of those?"  My heart broke.  Luckily, Santa heard Dade's prayers and delivered one of these to our house (aka the Vandermyde's) for Christmas. 

Now the kids have their very own umbrellas to play with in the rain...so, please send some rain this way.  We need it.

This is the kids second Christmas, Oma's House.  The kids run around like crazy with their cousins and get to see all the presents from Oma and Opa

Some people around here are growing up too fast.

Happy Girl.

Dade, my sweet boy...you are no longer my Little Mister.

No Christmas would be complete without a pinata.  I have many memories of excited little kids running (sometimes into each other) to gather as much candy as possible.

Look how big this group is and it's missing two members (Grayer and Eva).

Merry Christmas Everyone.
