Christmas 2012

I know it has been a while since our last post, but the holidays brought lots of busyness, birthdays, dancing and more.  Here is Part 1 of our update I hope to finish the rest in the next few days. 

Since we left off, my baby Makyah has turned 10 years old, yes 10 years!  How time has flown! So much joy she has brought us, I can't believe this little girl is not so...well so little anymore.  I mean she has always acted 15, but now she is that much closer!  She is truly the sweetest, kindest, most caring girl you will ever meet, and I am proud to call her "mine"! 




Makyah's Birthday Morning, she had a birthday donut and made a wish!




 Jingle was also busy having fun in the days counting down to Christmas!


 She even wished Makyah a Happy Birthday!



 The girls had a PJ day at school!



 And, the Little Suzy homemaker that I am , even had some time for some holiday baking;)




 The last days of Jingle, the kids were so sad she was leaving.  On the very last morning, she left a note that they could hug and touch her for a minute while Santa lifted her magic....


Well let's just say it was a long story and a rough goodbye, afraid they were going to touch her too long!
Yes these are real tears for more than one reason! When Christmas day arrived, Cambree said, " I am kind of sad and kind of glad Jingle is gone, it was really stressing me out, not being able to touch her and all"
Well said Cambree... it was a bit stressful!  The girls did enjoy her so much, and we were really glad she chose us this year...they talk often of her return next year!


 Well Christmas has come and gone, I can not believe it!  We were truly blessed again this year.  The girls  must have been very good this year.  
Christmas Eve we spent with Cal's family, and after Santa's visit Christmas morning, we spent the rest of the day with the Bergs.

Christmas Eve gifts...




 I guess she was really excited?!



 It was a great evening with the Lokkens.
Christmas morning we awoke to this... yes he did visit!


 Jingle even left a picture book so we could put in the pictures we took of her!


 Stockings and notes from Santa!


 What she was waiting for!





 Then we headed over to the Bergs for more presents and fun with cousins!





 Of course it was also Miss Paisley's Birthday as well!  Happy Birthday Paisley Rian our little Christmas Baby...We love you!


In the following days, we played lots of games and put toys together!


 Makyah and Paisley performed their dances at the UW basketball game!


 We played more games!


 We also attended a Birthday celebration for Paisley....


 which was mustache themed!



  That sums up Christmas...in a few days , I will post on the new year!  Stay tuned and check back soon!
We hope you all had a blessed Christmas and a great 2012!
♥The Lokkens♥
