Christmas Morning 2013

Johnny ManzELF on the morning of Christmas... 

Thankful he was there to remind us

the REAL reason for the season!!!

EVeRY single year I say I'm not letting

my kids get a bunch of "stuff" for Christmas...

but then it happens!!!  This year I was especially

sensitive to so many who don't have much ...

some really nothing:( but that didn't mean

I was going to take away from my own kids. 

I was always spoiled...and I guess that's what

I'm doing with my little loves. 

Notice I don't say spoiled ROTTEN for

myself as a child or for my kids...

Spoiled SWEET:)

 

Santa & Mrs. Claus had fun:)))

Walker's looked like the least but it

certainly was NOT!!! ;)

Love that sweet girl asked for teacher stuff:)

"Football tuff"...that's what Hudson asked for!

Tradition has it that on Christmas

night everyone sleeps in mommy

and daddy's room...two of them

forgot about the pallet deal though;)

Makes me cry how blessed I am ~ 

Even McKenna;)

HA!  Blurry...Huds was FAST!;)

First thing Hudson picked up was the

"BLUE #5 Midway Jersey he asked for!

Kickin' back!  Gamer!!!

A #5 Aggie Jersey!!!!!!!!!!

He loves #5!!!  Have no idea why?!?

BACON duct tape!!!!!!!!!!!!

Video games and guns?!? 
I never would have dreamed I would

allow these!  haaaaaaaaaaa!

An air soft gun is FuN?!?

Every single time we asked Hudson

what he wanted for Christmas he would

always say, "football tuff, a wallet
and a blue Spiderman" 

So proud of his wallet...

Safety first with that air soft gun!
