target deer he got from his Daddy.  Oliver

is proud of his bow and arrow practice.

The Radfords came carrying some

toys they got from Santa!

Family:

Marshmallow telling Mommy all about

her new Monkey Sleeping Bag!

Mommy had to take lots of pictures of

Claire today!  She just had too!

Giggles!

These two have funny conversations!

So do these two!  

Mommy and Oliver picture!  Claire joined us too!

Then all the others did too!  

(Mommy loves being an Aunt!)

Mommy likes being a daughter and a sister too!

Gifts:

“Happiness doesn't result from what we get, 

but from what we give.” ― Ben Carson

Uncle Matthew and Oliver worked together to disperse

the gifts.  That is usually Mommy and Aunt Jess's job!

They were very productive!

Merida for our tree!  

This is a pretty cool ornament for our tree!

(No boos or bah humbugs allowed!)

Mommy liked the editing on this card!

Oliver got string and tape from Grammie!

Mommy and Oliver gave Grammie an

old garden box thing and some bulbs!

Uncle Kelly loved his fishing supplies

from the Loflens!

These guys loved their flashlights from Grandpa!

Claire liked her Heidi book from Oliver.

Her little family is off for Switzerland in 

the morning for three weeks!!!  

Safe travels!

The traditional three 

sisters pretty present from Grammie!

"Tablet" workers!

Aunt Ali loved her new frame!

 Home:

We came home for a little bit to open a couple of

gifts together and see if Santa stopped by...he did!

Mommy fixed up an old "park bench" a little for Oliver.

Santa ate some of the cookies and left donuts

for Oliver, since its Donut Wednesday!

He filled our stockings too!

Santa brought some gumballs to refill his machine!

Very thoughtful of Santa!

He also brought a small snow globe for Oliver!

It has the Eiffel Tower!  Oliver loves pictures 

of the Eiffel Tower!

Santa also had his elves engrave this plaque for

Oliver's park bench!  So cool!  Mommy

and Oliver had a nice conversation about

the meaning of the quote!

Santa is so so sweet, he brought this book 

for Mommy!

Some stuff from Oliver's stockings!

Oliver loves lottery tickets!

He filled up his gumball machine!

He is dwelling in possibility!  He posed for 

this picture on his own!  Sweet.

This is pretty sweet too!  He is one tired, happy kid!

Mommy will see him again on Friday at noon.

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!
