Joq & Laura

We are really enjoying our time with Joq & Laura. They came up to visit us on Saturday, Dec 27th and are staying with us all week. We just love them so much and really enjoy hanging out with them. They are so easy to hang out with and so genuine and real that we don't have to do alot to entertain them. It is just fun being with them and doing life together. They have had fun spoiling their little nephew Xander. He is so lucky to have so many people dote on him! We have been playing lots of games and making lost of great food. Good times!

Xander's first Christmas

Xander had a very great Christmas. He was hilarious with all of his Christmas presents. He loved to climb on top of them and slowly rip off the paper. And he would dance and laugh at the songs and sounds that they made before he had even completely unwrapped the gift. He was really funny and entertaining to watch. He was very blessed and was given many fun toys to play with. Thank you to all who love him so much and spoil him with your love! We miss you!!! Xander has been having so much fun with everything. We are so blessed and loved.

Fun in Florida

We are having a great time in FLordia with my family. Xander has "wowed" the family with all of his amazing tricks! He has loved performing and hamming it up for all the friends and family here. He now "praises the Lord," makes snake, duck and cow sounds, tries to walk all the time and gives high fives like nobody's business. He especially loves it when I tell him high five...too slow (and take my hand away real quickly) He has also become quite a great kisser, thanks to Aleah Faires! hahaha! He loves kissing the ladies!
Some of our family from Jax came down to visit today and that was a lot of fun. We went to one of the down town areas and walked around, some some amazing lights, and a free outdoor gymnastic christmas performance. That was fun, especially since it was free.
The sad news is that on the way to the airport, my camera got dropped in the cup holder in our car. Unfortunately, the cup holder was already being occupied by a cup full of water...and there went the life of my good ole' faithful friend. So alas, just in time for Xander's first Christmas, I find myself without a camera.

Cindy-loo-hoo & the Grinch



We dressed up for the annual youth group Christmas party tonight. It was a lot of fun to hang out and have a good time. We received many compliments on our costumes. Now I am tired and need to go to bed!
