My friend Emily tagged me, I had to email her and ask her what I'm supposed to do. She said it's just to post some random pictures that I normally wouldn't post. Since today is the 31st, I thought I would count to the 31st picture, and our sweet, Sophie was the winner! She has been a part of our family for 12 years now and we love her tons. 
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...
We had such an awesome Christmas season, and feel so blessed to have a wonderful family to spend it with! 'Til next year.
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.
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.
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 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!
My Mom's 1/2 sister, Sue came to visit this week. It's been over 50 years since they have seen or had any contact with each other. I'm so happy that they have found each other, and have created a beautiful friendship. What a great Christmas gift!
I can't believe the Christmas season is finally here?! Each year it gets more fun as the kids really get into all the holiday festivities. This year (with the idea from our good friends the Bartel's) we planned and wrote out ALL we want to do this Christmas time, and I couldn't help but feel giddy for the fun in store. 'Tis the season to be JOLLY!
The season has ended, we already miss pracitce ( well not that much). The Eagles had a victorious last game...well, victorious to them, a tie! They scored 3 touchdowns, and JJ sacked the quarterback. It was a fun way to end a really fun season. Jaden had a great time, learned a lot,and made an awsome friend in Hunter. Till next season boys... Who are we? EAGLES!! What are we? WINNERS!! EAGLES on three, 1-2-3- EAGLES!!
It seems like yesterday that she was my bald, toothless,chubby, 14 month old. Now here she is with her first missing tooth grin, waiting to see what the little fairy has in her wallet! Now she thinks she's really made it to the world of B I G! As for me she will always be my bald, toothless, chubby baby!
I woke up last Sunday to the kids using their imagination( reminder- SUNDAY- no t.v.,video games, bike riding, etc... So imagination it is). A throne was created, a queen born, and servents bowing before Her Majesty.
Today my neighbor Jenny told me- " You have good American man. He go to work and come home to worka worka. He's good husband". I think so too! LoVe you D!!!!

Tadd and Heather once again were kind enough to invite us to their annual Halloween party. The only rule...you MUST come in costume. Dar and I dressed up as construction workres this year. It was fun heading off to the thift store to find our goods. We had a GREAT time with our good friends. The Hinzes our the BEST host and hostess around, they really know how to throw a party. I think D looks like Joe Dirt, and me.... Mario, from super Mario Brothers, sporting the double chin and all. Them are some good lookers!

This face looks like one of those freaky aliens form Close Encounters.
All of the kids have been an "artist" once or twice in their lifetime. Little Marcie really seems to have the talent. We are lucky enough to get DAILY masterpieces on the walls.
Tonight we were reading in Alma 52:29- "Now the Lamanites did not know that Moroni had been in their rear with his army...". Graham, now trying to understand, but laughing at the same time asked " in their rear?" When you start to think they aren't listening they suprise you. For some reason it's always words in the scriptures like ass and rear that grabs attention. Hopefully he doesn't repeat it in primary, I can just hear him now... Moroni was talking about his bum in the scriptures. I would DIE!

Ok, this is one stinkin' fit. " No more chocolate milk girl."
