These are the sweetest, another gift for the kids. And yup you guessed it, there are little treasures within them that get smaller and cuter. Thank you Criders!

Look at that skinny boy! Yes, I know that it is a bit blurry, but even though he looks like he will stay still for a picture, that is not the case...he's a fast one! Jack's sweet Auntie sent him these booties from the other side of the world...aren't they so cute!
As you can see from the look on his face, he adores his new booties, and loves his aunt and uncle, and misses them!

Well it has been a while since my last post. Things are begining to get back to normal
from the holidays. Christmas was nice this year, we missed the Criders so much, but know
that they are where they are supposed to be and we take comfort in that. Although we
still miss them daily. Love you Sonya!!!!

Troy and I celebrated our 8th anniversary. Mom watched the kids and we had a nice dinner and then walked around the mall. Ya, I know doesn't sound that exciting, but believe me just having time alone while we were driving to and from our date was exciting...I kept waiting to be inturupted by one of the kids....and it didn't happen! It was a nice night out.
Thanks again mama!

Ok so I know that this is late, but here are some pictures of our Christmas morning.
Troy had been growing out his beard...which was shaved off the very next morning...
since October just so he could surprise the kids Christmas morning. It worked. Bethany was less than thrilled with the whole thing, but Madelyn and Robert loved it.
