This is what "Christmas" looks like in January with no tree...it sure didn't dampen the spirits of these little ones...
We were just thrilled that 10 little bodies were healthy at the same time...sure, runny noses abound sometimes, but we know as our family grows that there might come the day when somebody is sick for our Christmas! These 10 little blessings are the product of the last 9 1/2 years...our kids are doing a wonderful job of filling our life with joy, don't you think?
This is the youngest born on December 27th who delayed our Christmas...but did we care? No!
Olivia Basil arrived healthy and loved by all!
Here's some of the chaos and joy of Christmas with 10 under 10...
Every year I think we're going to unwrap just one present at a time...yea, right...the excitement outshines organization...and that's just fine!
Here's Steve and Sara working on the brunch that day...it was wonderful!
Here's all the kids enjoying their meal...they always want Uncle John to sit with them...and he obliges! He'll be a great Daddy someday!(with lots of practice with all his nieces & nephews!)
Papa built some fences for each family...thanks to Nana's suggestion(from pinterest)...
Tate & Lu tried them out first...
then Calvin & Will decided fencing was a great way to play a game without "interference"...
Jillian was excited to hold her new cousin....
and Nathan is such a baby lover! He already seems to have his family planned with a little girl in his K-1 class...and he's asked his Mom if she'll babysit "Baby Stony"! This kid has a great imagination!
And here's our newest granddaughter...
Olivia, O, Livy, is already 6 weeks old! Where did the time go?
We treasure these times with our little ones...my own children were just babies, weren't they? The days and years seem to fly by...I am thankful for this precious time with grandchildren!
Hope you all had a wonderful Christmas with your family! You can see that we sure did!
