Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas! We had a great time celebrating Jesus's birthday!


Meet Jolly, the elf. He comes to our house every year around Christmas time. Each morning we have to search for him in a new hiding spot! He likes to watch us and report back to Santa on our behavior! Ha! Luckily, we were all pretty good this year!


Thank you so much for all the wonderful presents!

The Big Christmas Musical

Both boys have been practicing since the end of Sept. for the big Christmas Musical! Trevor's best friend, Cade, asked Trevor to join him and be in the musical. Trev loved it, so we started attending the practices. About 3 weeks later, the director asked if Ty would like to join them all on stage...Ty knew all the songs and dance moves from watching Trevor! SO, both boys are now following in their grandfathers' footsteps and love performing!


Trevor auditioned and got a singing part in the musical! He was fantastic!


Tyson also did a great job! Often he was facing the wrong way, pointing with the wrong hand, playing air guitar or drums with the band, or making goofy faces...but, seriously, isn't that what you want to see at a Christmas play? Ha! He was quite the shinning star who stole the show!


Here are my the superstars after the musical!

The Barnett Clan Pt.1

Pop and Caroline


Cheryl and Michael are expecting a new little Barnett near the end of May!


Mamie, Caroline, and Moose strike a pose for the camera. Caroline wants down and is ready for some action! She is a busy girl on the go! "Please, enough with the cameras! You all are worse than the paparazzi , " Caroline thinks to herself!


Grandma and Grandpa Barnett (aka Poppy and LaLa) enjoyed seeing their children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren at our gathering! They presented us each a with beautiful, painted, hand carved bird that Grandpa had made. What a special gift! Thank you so much!

Gobble Gobble

Many of you know that I went to my sister's in Lynchburg, VA for Thanksgiving! She and I made an awesome meal for 22 people!

The exhausted chefs!


We did it! YEAH!


Even sweet Caroline liked it! Isn't she growing so quickly?!

My Guys!

My beautiful boys! Seriously, could he be any cuter? Look at those cheeks! What a sweetie! My baby is growing up too fast! We still can't figure out who he looks like or where he came from! What a blessing he is to our family!


My sweet, smart, wonderful son, Trevor! He is so tall now! Look at those incredible big blue eyes! He is so handsome and has such a tender heart! He is my right hand man! He has become quite a good piano player these days! We are so proud of him. He means the world to us...but, especially to Tyson!


Here is my awesome hubby! These pictures were taken in the van as Adam drove me to O'Hare. I flew to Virginia to be with the Barnett side of my family for Thanksgiving. Adam is the best father in the world! I knew they boys would be in good hands while I was gone. I missed them all so much! It's good to be home with my guys! I love them all so deeply! I'm a lucky lady!
