And, for the last post of 2012, here are some pictures taken during December.  I love my family so very much, and I am looking forward to what God has in store for us in 2013!

Simply cannot get enough of her smile...

Little shopping buddy...

Ridiculously adorable...

Giving the neighbors some Christmas yummies!

Helping Daddy buy the turducken!

Living room Mooyah picnic and "Santa Claus Is Coming To Town!"

Chad must have needed some assistance...

"Wrapping" their presents...

Cozy movie time before bed...

Payton was making sure her Daddy aired up her new bath tub just right!

Even super heroes brush their teeth!

This picture came home from school one day.  It makes me laugh every time I see it!  Ranger's disgruntled face is priceless!

Juicing with a super hero...

"Aarrgghhh!!"

"Surrender the booty!!"

"Vintage" Christmas sweaters for our class party.  Ha!

Sometimes my boys are so sweet!

On Christmas Eve we had Mom, Josh, Amber & the kids over for dinner.

The boys decided it was time to wrestle...

Mmmm...chili!

Josh & Jack needed a little after-dinner nap.

After everyone left, the boys put out cookies and milk for Santa!

And then Santa came!!

On Christmas morning, the kids were excited to come downstairs and see what Santa brought...

The boys were very excited about their stockings and super hero action figures!

And Payton loves her new doll!

Then the boys tried out their new scooters...

And the boys were quite interested in the missing cookies and milk that Santa took.  They stared at it for quite a while!

Cookies for breakfast!

Payton decided to snack on some wrapping paper.  :-)

Then we headed over to Nonnie's for more presents and fun.  Ranger was really pumped about presents, and showed off his best Ninja Turtle smile when I wanted to take a picture.  Silly boy!

Callen looks like he's in time out, but he's really not.  He just really wanted to sit in this chair.  :-)

Sock puppet kisses...

My gorgeous girl!

After Daddy passed away, Hank at Chick-fil-a gave us a tray with 8 little cows and "Grumpy" name tags.  We gave them to the kids on Christmas day.  There were lots of tears, but we also really felt Daddy in that moment.

Payton loved her cow right away.  The boys have been sleeping with their cows every night since.

Just playing...

Target practice!

Silly present...

And a little afternoon game time while the little kids took naps.

And one of the best parts of the day...we actually had a WHITE CHRISTMAS!!!  The boys didn't play in it much, but enough for a couple of pictures!
