MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!




Matt made it home safe and sound yesterday. Courtney is taking great care of Hudson and I here. I am really, really missing the girls and can't wait to come home. Please pray that our paperwork speeds through! Merry Christmas to you all! I am in awe of how wonderful our Savior is!

I was just coming to say how smiley all FIVE of your children are. I have never seen such smiley, joyful kids I do not think. Hudson is going to fit in so well. I bet those girls' arms are just aching.

Glad you're with Courtney now and enjoying her company. Praying for a speedy process, whatever that may be!

I can't get over his smile! Congratulations again!

You'd better come home...your husband bought the kids chocoate marshmallow cereal for breakfast; your dog is no longer sick; your house is cleaned...everything is waiting for you. Come home quick before it all collapses. Actually, your girls are doing great. They are praying sweet prayers for you both...even Alivia. Of course, everyone is spoiling them because we feel sorry for them...Kenton offered happy meals and they informed us they'd already had two that weekend...woops!!!! Maybe they'd like to try his homemade sushi with brown rice instead?!

Did I mention that I am probably the only mother who gave a box of organic macaroni and cheese to my children for Christmas? Did I also mention that they squeeled with joy about it? Hhmmmm....food for thought....needless to say, they've never tried chocolate marshmallow cereal (in fact, Katherine said, "What's that?" when she heard about it). :)

Organic Macaroni & Cheese?!?!?!?! Is this the same babysitter who raised ME on the blue boxes and cans of green beans??? And, I think I turned out pretty well :) hahaha!

I feel like NOT signing this and making you guess who I am.... so that's what I'm gonna do! :)

Ahhh...Betsy....that was my sister feeding you that. I'm sure I was preparing free-range turkey balls with some sort of soy-miso gravy....with hopes that someday you'd be vegan.

Was it THAT obvious who I was?!? I guess you're probably right- you were the one changing my CLOTH diapers and feeding me the crusts off your bread- wheat- I am sure :)

Sweet pictures!

Betsy...be thankful you had those wheat crusts...I'm sure that's what compensated for all the mac and cheese...someone should sue Kraft you know.
