Me, Myself, and Jesus
Luken woke me this morning around 5:30 to get up for his early morning time. He likes to take a poop first thing in the morning.
Jeremy usually gets up around 6 to have a quiet time and get ready for work. So I am usually never alone in the morning, which is my favorite time of day.
But this morning, my husband is not feeling all that well and has slept in. Luken played for a little while after I changed his diaper, but then he laid down on the floor with his pony and began to fall asleep. And for Luken's big news, he is taking a binkie. Thank you, Jesus. I got a better night sleep last night because of it.
Back to being alone, I put Luken back in his bed and I have been alone for the last hour.
I love morning. The quiet of night time is just not the same as the morning. You wake up and everything is new. There is not a day that has past that you are pondering. I wake up thinking of what is ahead and I love it. At night, I tend to think of all I did not accomplish during my day, but in the morning, it is all before me. I get to start anew.
Because I have four children and I homeschool them, I am not very often on my own. So this morning is a gift from God. I opened my curtains and it is lightly snowing covering my ugly, muddy yard with a beautiful blanket of white. I turn on my Christmas lights. My fire is going and it is a perfect morning in the country.
I had my devotional time and I was reminded of how God chose simple shepherds to be the first to meet His Son. Those that had the least amount of worth in their society. It makes me thankful to know that whatever I have done in my life God doesn't see me as worthless. He loves me and gave me the perfect gift and now it is my joy to give that gift back in everything I do.
I wish you all a Merry Christmas and I hope you have your perfect Christmas moment with Jesus.

Luken and Food
Luken has now embarked on the wonderful adventure of eating real food. Well, actually, he is still eating cereal with a single fruit or vegetable mixed in.
The other night I gave him carrots and he did not like it at all. I have a short video of him gagging. It really was quite funny.
He has learned to like bananas, apples, and peaches. I know, I know. Where are the vegetables all you mothers are saying? I am trying, but we are a salad eating family and working other vegetables in is just hard for our family.

The Train Park
If you live in or near the Lewis-Clark Valley, the Lighted Train park is a holiday must and if you have walking/talking children, it is a have to. And for those of us who have to drive past it to get home, it is an almost everyday "Can we please stop?"

Jeremy Doing What He Loves
This is a picture of my husband doing what he likes to do the most. If you do not know what all that stuff is, it is music editing equipment. He would rather be sitting behind a computer editing music than anything else.

Bailee's Tap Jam
This was at Bailee's Tap Jam. They had all three of the tap classes get together and do a little demonstration for parents. Above is a picture of all three classes doing a warm up with Largent, who teaches one of the classes.

Decking the Halls or Living Room at Least
It is Jeremy's job to get all of the lights and beads on the tree before the girls begin to add the ornaments. As you can see, he really enjoys the job.
Luken was not sure exactly what was going on. He just wanted to put all of the new stuff into his mouth.
Gia even enjoys the tree. Although we have to keep an eye on her, because she wants to drink the water from the tree stand.
It is also Jeremy's honor to put the star on the top of the tree, which is the very last thing to be put on.

More Thanksgiving
After having lunch at our house, we went down to Grandpa Ray's and Grandma Georgia's for some dessert. This is Luken with Great-Grandma Georgia and yes, Luken is sucking on his thumb. He is either sucking or chewing on his thumb.
This is Makayla with Aden. Aden thought Makayla was a great playmate. Makayla can be on the reserved side and was not sure what she thought of Aden.
Here is another of the babies. They were definitely the center of attention for the night. Elise is three weeks older than Luken.
It was fun to see the differences between them. Luken can sit up by himself, which Elise has not quite mastered yet. Elise can get herself around doing the army crawl and pushing with her toes. Luken just does a rocking horse motion on his belly. Luken also popped up a tooth on Thanksgiving day and another the day after. I do not believe Elise as any teeth yet.
God makes each baby wonderfully special and they grow at their own rate. They are such blessings.
