It's Christmas Day Fun

The Diaperheads have been greatly blessed!  Besides what we got for them they were blessed by my parents, Sean's Mom, two Aunts and a dear friend of ours we will call our "Secret Santa".  Thank you MD!  So enjoy some pictures.  Honestly each person sent us money to get them the things they have wanted, asked for and desired.  I have no idea who at this point bought what but I can say the kids were definitely blessed and all are happy! We also used some of the Christmas money to do some fun things with the kids that we normally would not have been able to do such as our trip to the KY Horse Park and a family trip to the movies with popcorn and soda (we never buy anything from the concessions stand so this was a great treat!  BTW the movie "Tin Tin" was GREAT!!!.)    :~)

 

Gifts from Santa.  In our home Santa only brings one gift and the stockings.  

 The favorite gifts this year.

 

Santa brought a baby that pees and poos! 

 Santa brought the Angry birds shirt and the DS game!  Oh yea! 

 Jaron excited about caprisuns....actually it was a decoy for a gift.

 Diapers!  For her Baby Alive Doll

 Resident Spy

 

Santa's gift to Kris! Kris has wanted this dragon FOREVER!  He was VERY happy as you can see!

 Jaron~Very excited about his new Lego and Halo kits.

 Waiting patiently to open his gifts.

 Santa's gift to Eli!

 Modeling her boots!

BTW the kids also got much needed clothes such as pjs, undies, jeans, socks, ect....they were thrown aside in all the excitement! :-)   I love being able to bless my kids and surprise them with EVERY thing they wanted and more.

Merry Christmas

Christmas....it's NOT about the presents, santa, the tree or lights, it's NOT even about spending time with family. It's all about Jesus! It's about the gift God gave us by sending us His son. The Son of God, the only TRUTH in this world. With out this gift all would be futile. Jesus is the reason for our celebration! Tonight we watched "The Nativity Story" with our 4 children and spoke once again to them about the true reason we celebrate Christmas. They had many questions and I am so thankful we were able to answer them. What a blessing we have been given. I hope if you are reading this that you have the hope that only Jesus gives. May you all be blessed! Merry Christmas my dear friends!

Christmas is coming...

 ...and I am already exhausted.  Thankfully all of the wrapping is done! :)  YAY ME!  Never have I ever had it all wrapped up before Christmas eve.  It is such a blessing!  This month has been full of blessings...large and small, monetary and non-monetary.  God has been so good to us!  This will be a short post with lots of pictures just so you know!
    Haven't been on here much, been trying to do lots of fun activities with the kids and spend every moment I have with them.  I have come to the realization that I NEED to spend as much time with them as I can.  I have always known that they will grow up and out of the house faster than I think but it's hit me that I will have 2 in the double digits this coming year and I want time to slow down just a little.  So this week Sara had her first Christmas dance (interpretive dance) on Sunday during our candle light service and then Monday we caught up with my dear friend Angie and went to see the Southern Lights at the KY Horse Park in Lexington.  We had such a good time.  Here are a few pictures of those events...

 

 

 Sara's Dance

 She and the other girls did such a great job.  We are very proud of her!

 Angie and me.  

I look like a wild woman.  It was raining while we were there, 

I was in severe pain with my knee and I kept thinking TAKE THE PICTURE Jaron!

 I love my Diaperheads!

 Kris and Eli.  Kris said he was scared to death.  He had to sit on the camel's hump which I think made him even more nervous.

 The boys and I were goofing off!

 My zaney elves!

 This was the highlight of Sara's night.  She was so excited about riding the pony.  She asked me again if we could get her a horse for a pet. 

A Message from Kris

A friend posted this video on Facebook and as I watched it I felt as if Kris would want you to know this.  I do know every parent of an autistic child would want you to know this for sure!  I DO!!!
