We Wish You A Merry Christmas



We enjoyed a christmas eve at the beach. Raggedy Ann went on many adventures including being swept down a small river that Jake had to rescue her from. Toben slept most of the day with the sound of crashing waves. Lilly and Bella were darling and chased after each other with seaweed ropes and sand, many people walking by commented on how cute they were. It was too much of a struggle to convince Bella to take off her beautiful christmas dress from Jenny. Sorry Jen but at least they are washing well and the girls feel beautiful every day.
I am glad I have a husband who gets us to so many wonderful places so often. Thanks Rich and Dora for being such great parents and raising such an amazing son.




Jake and I had a wonderful time being Santa's elf's and spent many nights creating our dream toddler size bunk beds, and fixing up things from my childhood such as my old doll bed, doll clothes, and doll house. Thanks Mom for keeping all of that stuff




Christmas morning brought the most beautiful sunrise that we have seen in Bakersfield. Wonders in the heavens herald the birth of our savior it was such a great reminder of that day long ago.


Bella surprised us and wanted to arrange Lilly's dolly tea set while she was eating cereal. Then we noticed who she was arranging it for, not the dollies it was for the hamsters. She was hungry and conversing with the about how she would eat their cheerios for them because they didn't like them. She is very good at taking care of all of her pets. We almost bought her a kitty for christmas but feared for the animals life with the big baby Toben, who likes to bite and pull on kitties. Plus Zhu Zhu pet hamsters are really the best pets for my sanity right now. Thanks mom for the hamster supplies they all love it.



We were very blessed with a christmas miracle as our children showed an extraordinary amount of tolerence with one another and let Toben in their room and even played with him! The best christmas gift a parent could get


Here is my childhood little table that I revived with a new paint job and a Ponyo scene


Bella is Determined that she is Charlotte the spider from Charlotte's Web. After Halloween came down she claimed the spider web and puts it over many things in the house and begins to play out the roll quite well. So after hours of woodworking and coming up with a detailed design for the bed Jake and I had my vision of how cute their room would look with such a chick piece. Not for long, immediatly after getting the bed Bella hauled out her web and started to decorate the top bunk. It really ruined my idea of the cute bed but fulfilled her wildest spider dreams and so it will probably stay for a long time.

Thanks again Dad for building that doll house with me it was fun to tell the girls about it and have them enjoy it so much

Bella busy spinning her web




Lilly snuggles down all 3 of her dollies and usually Raggedy Ann ends up as her pillow.


A doll bed given to my by my Great Grandma Freese when I was little. I revived it for Ragedy Ann
Two of the cutest boys on earth!



These three dollies now go everywhere with Lilly

Toben loved his Christmas bubbles thanks Jen!












WE Are so blessed with Beautiful Children and wonderful extended Family, that raised us well, and continues to love and us and the new additions. We love you all MERRY CHRISTMAS
