Christmas 2007 - in Pictures

I hope you all had a merry christmas! We had some obstacles to overcome, but we made it! Micah had strep the week before Chrostmas and Coby and Cason both got it while we were in Jacksboro with Clint's family. Then Micah and Coby got a fever/stomach virus during our Fowler Christmas weekend. Then Bry got a fever virus... So we have been up and down, but our celebrations were great fun! We were all well and in our own home just the 6 of us for Christmas eve and day. It was a really special time for us to make our own traditions as a family! We made Santa some really yummy (and beautifully decorated) cookies and we went looking at lights and singing christmas carols in the car. We cleaned our rooms in case Santa stopped in to see them (mommy's idea!) We all got one last cup of hot chocolate (or warm-chocolate as they call it) while we watched the old-school version of "How the Grinch Stole Christmas." Then Clint told the story of baby Jesus and how he was the ultimate gift for us. It was really special!
Now we are working our way out of the mounds of gifts and stuff from all of our family and friends! My kids are officailly SPOILED!! Now I need to go thru it all and organize. We have been working on that these last few days because the clutter started to get to me! The amount of pictures and video from Christmas is insane, so here are a few cute ones, in no particular order because blogger is not being kind to me tonite!
We wish you a merry christmas!
