Surprises

I love surprises! I love them so much! My hubby did so well this year...I can't even tell you! He couldn't wait to open presents. He was really cute because he wanted to open them like 10 days before Christmas and I kept telling him that we had to wait. We ended up opening them about 5 days early b/c we were going to be out of town, etc. Anyway, he gave me my gifts and told me they all went together. The first was a really pretty, trendy outfit with a hat, jewelry, etc. The second was a Mary Poppins dvd and the third had his Ipod in it with a note saying "Play me". When I pushed play it was playing "New York, New York"!! He handed me Broadway tickets to Mary Poppins and told me that we are going to NYC next week! I was SO excited b/c I have always wanted to go to NYC this time of year. It was such a wonderful Christmas and he made me feel so special with all his thoughtfulness. He is a wonderful husband and always full of surprises! Don't worry...I will be sharing too many New York pics before long!

Merry Christmas

 

 

 

 

I wanted to post a few pics but there are many more to come plus some video of Carter riding his new bike! He has had the best time of his life the last week! We hope your Christmas was wonderful! I love this family pic too! Carter was making a different funny face in each.

Go tell it...Carter!

Carter had his Christmas program today at Mother's Day Out. It was so cute! First of all, he was suppose to ask his teacher to tuck his shirt in before the performance and he tucked his pants into his boots instead! Davis has his boots showing too, they probably planned that! You have to watch the second song they sing...it is hilarious. They were really getting into it! You can tell that the camera man was amused.

Sleeping baby

Tonight I just had to get Averi out of bed and hold her! Those long eyelashes and chubby little cheeks...if you haven't held a sleeping baby lately, you need to! As I looked at her sweet little face I thought how much I love our children...every last little part. I love to watch them sleep...praying that every good thing will happen to them. It made me think of the verse about God knowing each hair on our head. Until I had children, I didn't realize God's love for us. It's amazing! I pray that you will feel God's love and know that He cares for you even more than you can imagine.

Stuffed Jalapenos

We had these at our Sunday School Christmas party and they were SO good! Thanks Nancy!

Stuffed Jalapenos
1 lb. sausage
1 cup shredded parmesan cheese
1 pkg. cream cheese
22 large jalapenos

Soak jalapenos for 30 min in water (to take out the hot, unless you like the hot :). Cut in half and take seeds out. Cook sausage and drain. Combine the cream cheese and parmesan then add the sausage. Spoon into jalapenos. Place on cookie sheet and bake at 425 for 15-20 min until lightly browned. SO YUMMY!
