December
On December 1st, our elves come back.  This year Carl and Charlotte brought their pet reindeer along.  Not surprisingly, his name is Dabo.  We're so excited to have them back for the month of December.
 December was actually very warm.  We had several nice days to work in the yard and visit the park.
The last week of school, the kids had a fun night at school.  They played games, made Christmas crafts, rode the Polar Express, had hot chocolate and popcorn, and visited with Santa.
Our Christmas Eve tradition- new Christmas jammies for everyone including the dolls.
 Christmas morning 2018
The boys left on the 27th for Dallas to see their beloved college teams play each other in the Cotton Bowl.  It was a great day for 2 and a hard day for 1, but they enjoyed the experience and got to see Jerry's World.  Our family just happens to love the Dallas Cowboys as well.
Happy 8th birthday to our almost New Year's baby.
 New Year's Eve 2018
Trying so hard to make it till midnight.  He needed a quick nap, but managed to see the ball drop for the first time ever.
2018 was full year.  We are thankful for the many blessings God has showed our family.  We are thankful for the blessing of family and friends who love us well and are looking forward to 2019.
