Merry CHRISTmas... part 2

Let the unwrapping begin....well almost...Our power went out and we had to hold off the unwrapping until the power came back on. We decide to start with the gifts outside and not wrapped...

...a special thank you to Becky & Tanner.... we love the little house ( she didnt want to go back inside . I hope we have some warmer weather soon or I'm in trouble )

... a special thanks to uncle wayne & aunt ruby ( I believe she likes the jeep. maybe we will learn how to use it soon )

Yea the lights are finally on.... let the unwrapping begin..

Merry CHRISTmas

It's early Christmas morning and I'm up putting the finishing touches to our Christmas lunch with my dad and brothers and stuffing Reese's stocking with lots of little somethings...


And as I'm stuffing Reese's stocking, I cant help but think as the sun is coming up here this Christmas morn it's going down in China. Is there a mother getting ready for bed and thinking of a little baby this Christmas evening? Is she praying Lord for her daughter?...My prayer this Christmas morning is that as the light dims on another day in China, Christmas Day, that the true light of the world, Jesus, would shine bright and fill this country with the love and forgiveness you give us Lord. And Lord....surround this one mother right now hold her in Your arms and surround her with love..

Merry Christmas everyone....

"today in the city of David there has been born for you a Savior, who is Christ the Lord"...Luke 2:11

Christmas wrapping...

Christmas sure has got here super fast this year. I just dont know where the last few days went to so fast. But Christmas is almost one week away. Am I ready??? NO

I have so much more to do and gifts to buys. But with the Lord's help, I'll make it.


We had to get down to some serious Christmas wrapping last night. We had no presents wrapped yet. Our tree is bare and sad looking.

But this year it sure was a whole lot of fun wrapping up family & teacher presents with my precious assistance. She is a mean little wrapper. She knows how to handle her scissors.

Now we've got to sneak off and wrap up some presents for daddy. That's going to be fun.

It's beginning to look alot like Christmas....

Mark has been a busy little daddy... decking our halls

He just loves decorating for Christmas

Reese was a big help with the ornaments

This years new ornament was...... Strawberry Shortcake

Merry Christmas

Giving Thanks...

It's not really hard this year to think of things we are thankful for... our baby girl for one. Lord you have been so good to us. We are so blessed and I just want to thank You. Lord your the greatest. Thank you for loving us and keeping us all safe. Thank you for everything... especially my family & friends.

thank you for my dad, sister, & brothers.

thank you for my all of my wonderful nieces & nephews... ( here are a few )

And thank you for my daughter, she's a true gift. And thank you for my best friend and husband. You cant see him in this picture. He's behind the camera and inside my heart.

The Monday after...

We had to go to see Reese's Craniofacial Team this past Friday. That's alway a long tiring day but it's also another chance to see how far she's come in a short length of time.

Reese got a good report from the Plastic Surgeon & Dentist but not so great from the Speech Pathologist. He's concerned with her speech progression.... or lack there of. We have to go back in 6 months and if there isnt some major improvments, she will have to have additional surgery.

That gives us 6 more months to pray and 6 more months to work hard in speech therapy. With the Lord's help, we can conquer learning to talk.... I just know it.

As you can see Reese takes after her daddy and hates the dentist. He just had to take her picture crying while she got her teeth cleaned. I dont know who was glad it was over more... me, Reese, or the dentist... it's a toss up.

Lady Bug , Lady Bug....fly away home......

It was a fun filled weekend at the Denton household. Our first halloween spent together doing all the typical family/kid stuff.

Last year we missed it all while Reese was still recovering from her palate surgery & still getting to know her new family & home.

Check out our pumpkin ( the one tooth is pretty scary isnt it ?? ) ps: Mark's still learning....

Me & my mama...
