Chaotic Blessings

It goes without saying that life would not be complete without a Christmas entry put out into Blogger World. It is so easy to get busy with the holidays (and the continuous snow storms) and forget to catch up on things. Christmas this year can be described with two simple words: chaotic blessings!!

At Grandma Dodson's we started Christmas off with our yearly visit from Santa. Of the 5 kids we only have the lonely Hayden who still believes Papa is the real thing!! I have loved seeing all of my kids experience a Santa visit every year.
This picture was supposed to be last but never the less the calm after the storm!!
Thanks to Grammy who cooks Christmas dinner every year. Daddy did do a great prime rib but we were short Uncle Derek and his family and Aunt Keri this year. Hopefully next year!!
Hayden got a Doctors set and has proven he may be interested in the family business along with his helper Duke.

We started Christmas Eve with cookie making for Santa and having Grammy, Kimmie and Tj over for a sleepover.

Bryden this year was all about Star Wars. He truly believes he is the Master Jedi. I can't bring myself to bust his bubble but I hope he doesn't go back to school and try to "Jedi" someone.

Christmas morning and the kiddos are so patient while the adults make their coffee.

This years was a little different for Miss Makena. She no longer wants toys and asked for clothes and very expensive electronics. She pretty much got a lot of clothes!!

Until next year!!!!
