Four Christmas Mornings

Not only do I remember taking all of these pictures, but I remember what was going on in our lives and the feelings that I was having when all of them were taken. It's funny how you have no idea what is in store for your life, and you have to laugh at the way things turn out!

We found out 3 days after this picture was taken that a baby would be joining our family.

We found out 3 weeks later that it would actually be TWO babies! Ava was 5 and in preschool, and Carter was 2 1/2.

I remember being so overwhelmed at the blessings that we had received that year. We had been quite worried about the health of the twins on several occasions, and to see 4 healthy kids in front of our tree was truely a gift from God. Ava was a big kindergartner, Carter was 3 1/2 and the twins were 5 months. 2009

The fun had just begun last Christmas. These 2 little trouble makers had just started walking, and you might notice that our tree was in a different room due to their destructive behavior. I remember being surprised at how they were all kids now, and there weren't any babies in our family anymore.

I love that my kids love each other so much! Do they fight? YES! But they would do anything to protect one another. I love how Carter has his arms around Coleson and Ava, and how big sister has her baby brother on her lap. We are so blessed!
