Christmas

Hawaiian Santa at Makayla's preschool Christmas party


We had the McIntosh family over for dinner one night before they moved off the island.
Makayla & Will

Elijah & Drew


On Christmas Eve we spent a little time at our neighbors' house before church


After church, the kids opened their new Christmas jammies




Christmas morning







Daddy sent some gifts. Mak asked where they came from and I told her that Daddy sent them from Toys R Us. Her repsonse was "Daddy has a Toys R Us in Iraq?!"



As you can see, Elijah put on the helmet and left it on for most of his gifts. :)

We definitely missed Blain at Christmas time. We were blessed to be able to get on Skype with him and he was able to watch the kids open their gifts.





Later that afternoon we went to my cousin's house for dinner.

My cousin's niece, my cousin's daughter, Makayla & Elijah


This is what happens when poor Elijah is surrounded by girls


My cool man


Makayla Picasso (She said this is a photo she drew of herself. She even drew curls.)


The boy tried to close himself in the refrigerator


Miss Mak loves to take pictures! Especially of herself :)


We hope that you all had a wonderful Christmas and we hope you are enjoying the new year. We are are excited about Nana & Dewpop coming out to visit for Elijah's birthday early next month! We are also excited about Blain's R&R in about 2 months!! We can't wait to see him!
