Palmer's Christmas Concert

Palmer's 1st grade class (and 5th grade) performed a Christmas concert at Chiles High School auditorium.  Palmer played the tambourine for one of the songs.  She did a great job and really kept the beat with the song!

Merry Christmas!

We had a wonderful Christmas beginning with our annual Dekle Christmas on the Eve of Christmas Eve.  On Christmas Eve, we had lunch and opened gifts with The Anderson Family and then went to Tallahassee to go to the Christmas Eve church service with The Dempsey's and then opened gifts afterwards.

We missed our Wagner Family!

More pictures to come!

Sweet and Thoughtful Pax

Each Sunday, during the church service, our pastor asks anyone that has a special prayer request to fill out the card in the pews and drop it in the offering plate when passed.  There are people in the prayer room that receive the requests and pray specifically for those people during the church service.

Our six year-old grandson, Pax, filled out one of the cards today and dropped it in the offering plate and requested prayer for his friend, Tripp DeMott.  Tripp rode his bicycle into the path of a car several months ago and miraculously survived!  He continues to need lots of prayer.

I just teared up when his daddy showed this to me.  How sweet and thoughtful is Pax to remember his friend, especially during this Christmas season!

Thank you Paxton Jack Anderson for being such a compassionate friend to Tripp!  We love you!!

The Dempsey's With Santa

Night, Night Baby Dolls

I went into Gracie's room to get her out of her crib from her nap and found that she had two of her babies wrapped up in blankets for their nap!  I've never seen a baby so crazy about baby dolls.  She is going to be the best mama one day because she sure takes great care of her baby dolls all day long!

John's A Climber!

Ut, oh!  Look who's making a break for it!  John has learned how to climb out of his crib!  Look out, Mama and Daddy, he's found his freedom!

No more crib jail and John is all smiles about that!

It's Another Gracie Day!

Another day in the life of Gracie Lou!  She loves to go outside and RUN!
"Run, Mama Lou, Run"!
She's all smiles while running.  Also, note that she is still in her pajamas.  Baby girl LOVES to stay in her PJ's all day long and cries when I change her into her clothes.  Who can blame her?  PJ's are so comfortable!  Wouldn't we all love to stay in our PJ's?

A baby girl needs a snack after all of that playing....a powdered donut!

Tractor Time!

Gracie loves to pretend she is driving this tractor every time we go into Every Thing Special.  Country girl at heart! 

You can't see it, but she has her baby doll riding in the tractor too!

What A Shot!

Pax is practicing shooting his new gun!

Look Who Lost His FIRST Tooth!

Pax lost his first tooth today!  It's been loose for a week or more and he pulled it out all by himself!  How exciting!  The tooth fairy is on her way!

Friendsgiving at KLES

During the Thanksgiving holiday season, we celebrated Friendsgiving with Anabelle and Palmer at KLES.  Rosemary, Mary Aaron, John, Gracie, and I enjoyed our picnic lunch with the girls.

This baby girl was tired after a long afternoon of playing!
