The Most Wonderful Time of the Year....

is Christmas! I love this time of the year. Once again, we had about 7 Christmas's to go to here in Wichita Falls. I tend to get a little stressed because I want to be everywhere and spend time with everyone, but I decided I need to focus on how blessed we are to have so many people to spend Christmas with and how convenient it is for all of them to be here!! 

I forgot to post in the last one.... For my birthday (Dec. 1) Kevin and my sweet family got me a camera that I've been wanting so bad!! I'm definitely still learning how to use it, but let's just say we loved having it over the holidays. I think we took 900 pictures! Ha!


We had our first Christmas the weekend before at my dad's house with my grandparents. It's always fun and eventful! :)

Love these two!

Dad and Barb

I'm not sure what he's doing....

We got a money tree and this is where the money ended up...

My cousin, John, always gives out t-shirts with funny sayings... Kev's was one of the best.

Christmas Eve we went to Christmas Eve service at church and then headed to Nana's house. Here is a picture of sweet Jayde. She was so fun to take pictures of.

All the grandkids/great grand-kid with Nana

Mom, Malorie, Macie

The girls got Just Dance for the Wii. Pretty funny to watch!!

Kevin collects flashlights among other things... (He doesn't realize he collects them. He just loses them and asks for new ones for Christmas.) So here is flashlight # 17... :)

Christmas morning we started out at my dad's house.

Cute outfits for Crew!

Flashlight # 18..

He was very excited about his tool belt!

Blue-ray Player!

My dad got her a T.V. for the bedroom. She was very excited!

Barb got my dad a log cabinet! He was excited as well!

Next, we headed to Kev's parents.... And here are all the presents DIVIDED AND READY!

Ben was so excited about all his gifts! He was so fun to watch!

Sweet Lolly

Josh playing with Ben's toys..

The other Rhine's!

Again... not sure....

Kev told them to strike an "1800's pose"..... haha so great!

Alli and I got the great mustela stuff from Storkland for Crew and Sam... I hear it's amazing!

Betsy's fun coloring shirt from the Fernbergs.

Kevin and I drew Josh's name this year and got him these shoes he has been wanting... His reaction was THE BEST by far!!

And Betsy's favorite gift given to her by Todd... I'm really not sure what it is other than "the green suit."

So Betsy!!

After Christmas with the Rhine/Fernberg Fam we went to my parents house to have Christmas with my grandparents.

Sweet Jayde again....

Reading the Christmas story...

Cute Couple... He had to go back..... :( Poor Kenz!

Macie and Mitchell

We always play Chinese Christmas/White Elephant with gift cards so that's always fun!

Kevin playing with the camera...

Since we were so busy Christmas Day, my mom, Jeff and the girls decided that it would be better to do our Christmas with them Sunday morning. I forget that Macie and Malorie are 14 and 17 so they don't HAVE to get up at 7 am on Christmas morning to open presents. They were totally fine waiting until the next day. I'm so thankful they were flexible so we could really enjoy our Christmas with them the next morning. We don't have any pictures because we all literally rolled out of bed and had Christmas.... I would have some people mad at me if I posted pictures of us when we looked like that! :)

We had such a great Christmas and we are so thankful for all the family we get to spend it with. Can't wait for next year when Crew will get to experience all the fun with us!

Hope everyone had a great Christmas and a Happy New Year!

20 Weeks...

Well I was 20 weeks a month ago, but haven't posted. I'm not a fan of taking pictures of myself, and especially my stomach but I've had several people tell me that it's so great to do, and I've had several people want to see pictures. So here I am at 20 weeks... 

Sorry, this is all you're getting. No bare belly pics for me! :) 

I will try and be better about posting each month AT LEAST! I can't do it weekly! 

By the way, we had another doctor's appointment at 20 weeks and got another sonogram. It was confirmed that we are having a BOY! He wasn't shy once again! Can't wait for him to be here. :)
