Well tonight the kids and I set up the Christmas tree and put out some Christmas decorations. Last year I divided up our ornaments into themes so this year our tree is a nativity and music tree. It took me several years to finally relinquish control of the tree and allow the kids to decorate it, but the last few years they have put up most of the ornaments and they love it. Jesse hung up all the stockings, Tyler set up one of the nativity sets and helped put up the decorations, Britain and Faith helped as well. After decorating we listen to some Christmas music and ate popcorn.
This is the kids favorite Christmas decoration. It is a very simple one, but they love making Santa shimmy down the pole.
Robert and Hannah met in October of 1993 and were married July 18, 1994. Since then our family has grown to six with the addition of Tyler (15), Britain (12), Jesse (10), and Faith (4). Hannah is an elementary school teacher turned stay at home mom. She watches a few children during the day to help out financially, runs a preschool, homeschools Jesse, and enjoys reading, scrapbooking, teaching, and music. Robert works very hard as a welder and recently took on a second job to make sure Hannah could stay home with the children. Tyler is in ninth grade and plays cello, piano, and runs track and cross country. Britain is a seventh grader who plays the string bass, piano, loves reading, wrestles, and runs cross country. Jesse is an active third grader that loves to play games, play with transformers and Bakugans, and gets to home with mom for school. Faith keeps mom on her toes during the day, loves going to preschool, and loves to play and watch Elmo and Caillou. Our family loves spending time together playing games together and watching movies together. We are all so thankful for the many blessings we have recieved from our Heavenly Father!
