Cards from Daddy!

Dear Daddy,

We got our cards from you! We were SOOOOOOO excited as you can see. Thank you for sending them to us. We loved your picture. Bubba thought your gun was so cool and Katie loved your Santa hat. Neither one loved your "stache" though. : )

Keep sending us mail, Daddy. We love getting mail from you!

Love, M~

Dear Daddy

Dear Daddy,

I love your carpet you sent me! I'm gonna play with the carpet with Kim. But I was thinking about putting it in the toy room floor by the door when you first come in if you look down when you first come in you'll see the carpet. The weather is slowly dying but the beer is so delightful and since we have no place to go let it snow let it snow let it snow let's go to the beer store. The end now it's Katie's turn.

Love, bubba





Dear Daddy,

I miss you daddy. I loved how you watched us open our presents. And we watched you open your presents. It was a fun time. I'm sorry you didn't get to be there when we were opening our presents so you could see them. I love the new pony and the fairy on the pony. I loved how she had glittery wings with diamonds on them and they were gold wings. She had a pink dress, blonde hair, and pink shoes. She was beautiful. The pony was golden her tail was very golden too. Thank you for sending her to me. I can't wait to see if mom will let me play my hannah montana wii tonight. I will see.

Love, katie

What I've been doing...

Here are a few pictures of what I've been up to tonight. It's so much more enjoyable when you are here to help and enjoy the festivities together!

I miss you so much.

Celebrating daddy...

Dear Daddy,
A few nights ago we did one of your favorite traditions....stringing popcorn for our tree. Though it was not the same without you here, it was fun to do something that we know you enjoy so much. It was a neat way to bring you closer to us and celebrate you being our daddy and how much we love you! We miss you daddy, Katie & Bubba

Thank you Daddy!

What a surprise we got today when the lady rang our doorbell and presented us with this LOVELY arrangement! And it's REAL pine! It has made the back of the house smell so Christmasy and we all just love it! Thank you! The only thing that would've made it better is if you had been delivered with it.

Counting down the days......

Love, M~

Rainy Day

Hello sweetheart!

It's a rainy day here and the kids and I have stayed in our jammies with the fire lit watching Christmas shows all morning. Now it's time to get back into reality and get them ready for gymnastics and AWANAS tonight. : ) Such a hard life, right? *wink* Katie has taken up the job of getting Maggie dried off when it rains - we've had a few of those days in the past couple of weeks. She steps right up to the plate and "attacks" Maggie with the towel as soon as she gets back in the door. Here is some photographic evidence.

We love & miss you! Enjoy~
Love, M~

The kids have been totally insane today. It was cookie baking day part 1, so they are so sugared up that they would probably test positive for diabetes.

In between the madness, we made a few videos for you. Enjoy, my love!

Love, M

PS - Yes, Katie is wearing a bathing suit. I would say it is because we live in CA, but it was actually cold and rainy here today so I don't know.... : )

Fun Night!

We've been trying to get more into the Christmas spirit around here - it has been hard without you here....hard for all of us!

Yesterday the kids and I made gumdrop trees & a wreath; then after dinner we went Christmas caroling with Maggie around our neighborhood; then when we got home we watched the Santa Claus and made peppermint brownies. : )

The last picture is a nighttime picture of the cross we made.

Enjoy!

Love, M~

Santa is here!

Remember this (the original)?


Well, I finally gave up on ever having him. *Sniff*

Meet the "new" Santa. He's growing on me with his blue eyes. : )





And here's where he ended up. I need him to be someplace where I can enjoy his beauty every night. : )



Love, M~

My heart is aching for you....

I find this Christmas song sad, but cathartic at the same time. I miss & love you!

Love, M~
