Merry Christmas to all!!!!!! We have had a busy and enjoyable holiday weekend. Christmas Eve morning we attended chapel and then went to some great friends house after for lunch, conversation and games. We also attempted the following photos! Here is Collin!
Kaitlynn with Dixie, who now has been with us for one year! Our Christmas kitten from last year sure has grown!
Dixie isn't the only one who has grown up! Hard to believe how big Christopher is getting!
Baby Kaebrie sure isn't a baby any longer!! She FIANLLY had enough hair to put her FIRST bow in! :-)
Here are 2 of the TWENTY pictures I took trying to get ONE great one of them all. Never got a really awesome one, guess these will have to do!
For the first time, the kids drew names for each other for Christmas. Collin drew Kaitlynn's name, and he got her her first Bible. She wanted one SO BADLY! As you can see, she was SO EXCITED!!!!
Kaitlynn drew Collins name and one of the things she got him was a Steve Irwin memorial ornament. He teared up when he opened it. ( So did I).
Christopher drew Kaebrie's name and she LOVED ber book and ball!
Later that night we got on the web cam with Poppa and JuJu in Alabama and opened gifts together. The girls loved their hand made aprons and mits!
The telescope was a BIG hit! Yes, that is a 12 foot tall Homer Simpson Santa in our yard. Yes, you know we don't do Santa Clause. Yes, it was a practical joke from the Chapel Staff. Yes, the neighbors are talking!!!! :-)
The night before Christmas Eve, Sam and I went to the club for the Fighter pilots Christmas party. 
Busy busy weekend. The kids had a great time. It was our first white Christmas. Several bouts of homesickness, but the webcam with all the grandparents and my sister and her family helped bridge the distance. Hope all of you had a Merry Christmas as well!

Hi Sam and Jodie,Iloveto see your news and photographs. Yes your children are growing too fast. I have news for you. Grandchildren grow even faster. Thankyou for the Christmas card. I did not get my act together this year( as far as cards were concerned) Completly all together otherwise!! Chuck and I are enjoying life and trusting in the Lord for our next move. He is in semi retired mode but working with a headhunter firm trying to find a job!! As you know the housing mkt is depressed and we really should not be in this big house, with a depleted income. but somehow we are able to hang on, and we know that everything will come together in the Lord's perfect timing.. Sometime its difficult to be patient, and anxious for nothing...People sometime say to me .That's a big house for two people. I've been advised to ask What two people?? Chucks mother has been with us for17 months now, and the family are in and out. I sit for Carrie once a week, and for Gina another day. I know you are delighted that Sam is not deploying this time..Love to you all. We are really happy we have everyone so near, and are counting our blessings.. Don't know if you know that Mike and Michelle had a son George Owen born Nov27th. Mike graduates from U of Alabama in May with an MBA. We now have 5 grandchildren in state. Where is the photographer?? For now God Bless Chuck and Lis
