Merry Christmas!

This year we are celebrating in Accra, Ghana with our dear friends the Crowsons and the Koonces. It's 90, it's very humid and we had cheeseburgers for lunch, but the company is great and feels almost like family :)Here are some shots of the boys opening presents and enjoying the season. Caden doesn't quite get it just yet, but he does walk around telling whomever he sees, "Ho, ho, ho, Merry Christmas everybody!". We are going to spend the rest of our day watching Christmas movies and talking with our families on the phone. May God's blessings be on you all as you celebrate the gift of Jesus to all the world!

Okay, seriously have to know where you found short sleeved snowmen t-shirts! They are adorable! Hope you guys had a great one and that the boys had fun!

Laura, the shirts were homemade gifts from Gamma (Brett's mom). Gotta love her embroidery machine...it's amazing!

The boys look so sweet in their shirts! I'm sure most Gammas with embroidery machine are not looking for the close-out short sleeve shirts in Oct to do her grandsons holiday shirts! :)
One of the greatest blessings to us is to know that if you can't be with any of the family on either side at least you can be with friends who love you!!
Corban & Caden - you are the best presents ever!
big hugs, Gamma & Papa xoxo
