Christmas Sing

Every year the elementary kids perform Christmas songs for the parents. They have some really good music teachers and learn all kinds of things, plus the kids sound great every year! Sorry for the poor filming.
Damon getting ready to sing.  Our kids apparently need a lesson on the proper way to wear a Santa hat!!!
He gets really shy and nervous in front of a lot of people.



Damon with the rest of the 1st graders.




Their second song.



Kyler with all his buttons done and his horrible fake smile, haha!
He kept the smile the whole time.
Kyler with friends Aison and Court.




Kyler never sings loud, even when he knows all the songs. It's the same way a church.

December Memories

Just a few things keeping us busy in early December. Nothing too exciting to report.

Kyler and his cousin Carter showed up to church matching one Sunday.
Radley put on the Santa hat himself!  haha!!
Tree decorating is serious business.
He totally looks like a teenager in his picture; it's scary!!
Almost got the hat right.
Went Christmas shopping in Amarillo and got some cool hats at Chickfila. 
Someone learned how to climb out of her crib (thankfully it took her much longer than her brothers), but now she refuses to lay down for a nap.  It's much more common for her to fall asleep in the car now.
Damon at his school party, and Bentley trying to steal all his treats.
A cool rainbow Kenney saw above our house one day.
Cool frost designs on Kenney's car one morning.
Elsa struck again!!



Here's a little bit of Radley and Bentley decorating the Christmas tree.

Family Pictures

Savanna was a saint and took our family pictures this year. She did an amazing job, especially considering what she was working with!! The boys did better than ever and we asking to get their picture taken. It helped that we let them choose where to get them taken. Bentley on the other hand refused to let us get a picture by herself. She did pretty good in the family shots, not great but good.  However, if you notice she has her purse then entire time!!  Overall I think this was the best family picture experience we have ever had!














Of course her best smile had to be in the ugly blue swing, not a regular one that could look find, but the horrible plastic one!!




"I done Momma.  I done."  As she uses the sign for all done or finished!!

Downtown Hayride

Every year on the weekend of Thanksgiving, the city of Childress has a downtown celebration to kick off the Christmas season. They have pictures with Santa (which we never do because the lines are so long), music, hot chocolate, and a hayride through the park to see all the Christmas lights. The kids love the hayride and seeing all the lights. This year they didn't have hot chocolate which was a bummer, but the lights were still fun to see.

Our stylish girl with her pink boots and pink pants! 
Walking with Daddy, so cute!
This child has been following Damon's lead and hates wearing pants.  It made me cold looking at him!
It's a Christmas time miracle!  They are all looking at the camera and smiling!
We were there too!
Emma, Cary Shane, Diana, and Carter

Kevin, Savanna, & Landry
The miracle didn't last, but we'll take what we can get!
Kelli & Keyan




Bentley was so cute prancing around, but I didn't catch most of it.
