Getting Ready for Christmas

Merry Christmas!!! Isn't he cute! I thought I would start with this pic of Jarod with his photogenic self. Our card this year is a photo card and we were trying to get some good pictures of the kids. So these two (this one and the one below) are some that hit the cutting room floor.
I love the fact that the both really fit their Christmas outfits that Mom and Dad brought with them to NC two years ago. Thank you very much, Grandma Ella and Grandpa David for the gorgeous island Christmas clothes. They get such great comments on them when they wear them out and about (say "out and about" like a Canadian "oot and aboot"). We wish that we could all be together for another Christmas. Next we have Dianna doing her best Vana White impersonation. She is B-E-A-utiful. The LORD has blessed us with some sweet and cute children. Dianna wore her ofu to school last Friday for Christmas pictures. Pretty!!
Next, we have a picture of the two munchkins posing in front of the Tupua Christmas tree. We have gone with a silver and black theme with our tree this year. We have some Disney ornaments on the tree as well, of course. They are too cute. I just love them.

Here is our Nativity Scene that sits in our entry way from the front door. The shelf that is sits on faces the living room. We love this set because it is different from any other we have seen. The design and lines are smooth and sleek. Also, if you click on the picture you may see there is writing on each of people figures. They have the different names for Christ. The whole set is being framed by Disney snowglobes with pictures of the children.
This video is a praise. Do you remember that video of Jarod starting to ride his bike on his own? Well, this video was taken on Thanksgiving Day. Praise the LORD for HIS goodness and HIS blessings - big and small.


We love you all so much and cannot wait to see you all again. We are looking forward to getting to Arkansas for Christmas. We are very excited for Grandma Ella and Grandpa David to see their two other grandbabies and show them off to island. In case I don't see you, "Good afternoon, good evening, and good night." Love you.
