Christmas Eve at GiGi's House

On Tuesday we traveled back to my parent's house from Jerry's parents and it took about 5 hours...maybe a little more with a stop off in Toledo. It was crazy. I was never so glad to get out of my car!

We always went to my grandma's house on Christmas Eve (GiGi as the boys know her). It was great because everyone was together which is becoming harder to accomplish...and do you think I remembered to get pictures...no. I am so mad at myself! Oh well, not much I can do about it now.

Just as we started to open presents my camera broke....well the batteries died. So, I have yet to get the pictures from my mom's camera. I did however get this one picture of Hunter sleeping. He fell asleep with my aunt after he ate and slept through his turn with presents (we go youngest to oldest). Oh well, he still got spoiled when he woke up!

So sweet. We left after that to come back home so we could wake up and have Christmas morning at our house. Luckily the roads were dry with no ice on the trip home! I'll post more of Christmas day later.

Christmas with the Webb's!

We were able to make the trip to Detroit to have Christmas with Jerry's parents. We drove to my parent's house on Sunday night and then left Monday around noon to go to his parent's. What is normally a 2 1/2 hour trip quickly turned into a 4 hour trip due to the weather and accidents all over Michigan. I am not even sure how some of the accidents I passed happened. I just pray that everyone involved was ok. We made it there and were able to web cam with his sister and her husband who live in Phoenix while we opened presents. It was a lot of fun and of course the boys got a ton of stuff! Kaiden had a blast with his binoculars. Grandpa got them so they could look at different birds together. Here are some pictures from our Christmas there!

Here's Kaiden helping Grandma Webb make her Christmas cake...I love that he's "sneaking" some whipped cream!

Here is Kaiden with his binoculars when he first got them and then the next morning looking out the window at the birds with Grandma Webb.

Here's happy Hunter....he is seriously the happiest baby! Both the boys got sled but it was too cold and they were both getting over being sick to go outside to sled. He sat in the sled with his toys content to play (and chew on them...we are working on our 8th tooth!!!) for most of the evening.

I love this picture of Hunter and Grandma!!

Stay tuned...more Christmas stuff to come!

Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas! We ran out of Christmas cards...guess 60 wasn't enough, so we thought we'd post it and say Merry Christmas to all of you this way!! God Bless you all!

Updates and Christmas

I'm sure this is a crazy time of the year for everyone...we are certainly included in that craziness. To update ya'll, we had a second interview at the church we were interested in but we will not be going there. They have decided to candidate someone else who has more experience in youth ministry than Jerry does. Alas begins the process of applying to more churches and hoping that someone will give him the opportunity to get that much needed experience.

I am off for Christmas break! I had enough PTO to take all but one day off. So, I don't go back to work until January 2!!! I am so excited and although it will be a very busy break and will involve studying for both Jerry and I (him for class and me for licensure test) it will be good because we will be home together.

We are getting ready to go to his parents and my parents this next week, so pray for safe travels for us all! I am hoping the weather will cooperate. I am sure over the next few weeks I will have lots of pictures and videos to post! With Christmas and the fact that Melissa and I are going to try to potty train the boys there should be plenty to talk about! haha

If I don't post before then, Merry Christmas to you all!!!

Video Time!

I haven't had a lot of time with the family lately due to my work schedule, Jerry's work schedule and the fact that we've all been sick! However, I have caught a few things on video. Here's one of Hunter sitting. It never fails that he'll be sitting there playing for like 10 minutes and as soon as I remember to get the camera he falls over and forgets he can sit! Here's a glimpse of him sitting for ya'll.

Kaiden's newest trick in singing. He has always loved music but wanted someone to sing with him while he played the drums or the piano. Now he sings all kinds of songs. The cutest are when he sings worship songs with our praise baby dvd's but all my videos of those are too dark. Here he is singing Old McDonald one of his new favorite songs. He will take any book with animals in it and start to sing Old McDonald and use whatever animal is on the page. It's so funny! I love to listen to him sing. Too cute! (even if I do say so myself)
