Finally My Holiday(s) Post!!!

Ok so I did this backwards but here is finally a post... sing it to the 12 days of christmas it should be funny- start from the bottom and scroll up!

And 1 really cool swing!

2 Dance recitals

A 3 year olds Birthday party!

4 Dress rehersals (Davi did lighting and sound for a deaf schools performance of A Christmas Carol- way cool! We try to help a few charitable causes.)

5 Trees to decorate! (Three for the in-laws)

6 decades of my dad! (I love my dad- Happy 60th!)

7 Weeks of Illness!

8 families in one cabin! (we do thanksgiving at the Taylor cabin every other year- with EVERYONE! It's full but way fun! We took Xadi out to cut down her first christmas tree- What a great memory! Thanks Kathee for taking care of Little man!

9 days to Christmas, no presents bought!

10 pairs of Jammies donated to charity! 

(Are these not the cutest kids you've ever seen? Our cousins boo and bubba! Each year we pick a charitable cause to donate to for Xadi's birthday this year it was www.pajamaprogram.org )

11 parties to go to- we couldn't make it to them all!

12 poses under the christmas tree no perfect one!

I'll try to expand more on the important events later- but it took me a month to post this! 

Christmas

The evolution of Xadi opening presents.

"No, I don't want to open presents. I want play with cousins!"

Just look at that angry face

"Hey wait this might not be too bad."

"Ooo a purse and 'lips' (chapstick), not too bad indeed!"

"Grandpa, there is something on your head! Let me help you with that!"

"hmm what have we here, a train- just what I've been asking for."

"So I came down Christmas morning to find a big sock on the table. Mommy told me to look inside... Man did you get one of these there was some good stuff in there. "

Including a $3.50 doll that she loved just as much as the train table she'd been asking for.

"Baby, do you want to play train?"

"But the best Present is yet to come... Can you read my shirt? If not it says, 'Santa promised me a new baby Brother or Sister in June.' I want a girl baby "-Xadi

So That's Xadi's tale of Christmas! So there is my excuse for being a slacker of late I've been so tired and a little nauseous but other than that I've been good. So If you feel slighted by my absence in your life know it's really not you it's me! By the way we call the babe in the oven either Q (since it's identity is a ?) or Roo.
