Fall or Winter

There is an autum in AZ, just in the winter.

Chistmas week

We spend our Chistmas Eve with the Lovin family each year. For the past 20 years or so the nativity tradition has been a pastime we all look forward to, and one of my most favorites of the season.

Williams and Lovin kids.


Santa came by Macky and Papa's for a little visit. Aunt Nellie and I posed for a photo with the BIG guy.



Gramie...






and Macky even had a few things they asked Santa for!




Jaden, a skateboarding ramp...







Allie, an ipod...







and Grahamers asked for a nut cracker? No idea where that came from. Marcie was a little bashful to sit on Santa's lap, but as soon as he started passing out the goods she thought he must not be all that bad.






We had such an awesome Christmas season, and feel so blessed to have a wonderful family to spend it with! 'Til next year.

Egg Nog

OH EGG NOG, OH EGG NOG how lovely are your calories(even lowfat). A morning treat, lunch drink, and after dinner dessert. Surprisingly, the kids haven't poured it over their cereal. I won't give them any ideas.

All I ( Marcie) want for Chistmas is...

" Yipstick!!!!!! " HOT!

Decorating gingerbread




Decorating the gingerbread house! One of our favorite Christmas traditions, then eating it up the next day. The gum drops are always the first to go! YUMMY.

Hotcakes with Santa

The PTO at the school had a big fund raiser this past Saturday. They served pancakes, had a silent auction, and Santa stopped by to visit with all the kiddos. It was a ton of fun. Marcie wouldn't sit by Santa unless her Dad went with her, she was really studying him out, but at least there were no tears! HOHOHO!!!!

Rudolph

Rudolph stopped by the house to check up on the kiddos and make sure they are still on the Nice list! He found all is well and Santa should be able to make his stop at the Lovin house seeing that nothing happens between now and Christmas Eve ( you really never can tell these things). Hopefully the bribes for good behavior still hang in for the next few weeks! He is a cute little fella that Rudolph!
