On the Fifth Day of Christmas 2013

On the second day of Christmas, a treasured memory:
Two egg nog slurps...


Two slurps was all it took Buddy Bear to finish his homemade egg nog on Christmas Eve.  
I tried to tell him to savor it, but no avail!  Uncle Scott's recipe is always our favorite! 

...and a J-Bear dressed as Mother Mary.



On the third day of Christmas, a treasured memory:
Three small teeth...


J-Bear's top tooth pushed through on Christmas!  Whoo hoo!  She has been working hard on that one, and now she is eager to use it.  She now loves a nice bowl of applesauce or other sweet fruit.  Sorry, rice cereal, your just too boring for J-Bear.

....Two egg nog slurps,
and a J-Bear dressed as Mother Mary.


On the fourth day of Christmas, a treasured memory:
Four darling Bears....


We give thanks to God this Christmas for each precious Bear.
Coming down the stairs with them on Christmas morning is a joy like no other.
G-Bear was thrilled to find a wished-for doll, E-Bear was delighted by a soccer goal, and Buddy Bear was overjoyed with a set of little trucks.  J-Bear couldn't be happier with the wrapping paper. 

...three small teeth,  two egg nog slurps,
and a J-Bear dressed as Mother Mary.


On the fifth day of Christmas, a treasured memory:
Five close-knit cousins!


It is such a blessing to have Aunt K, Uncle T and all the cousins here for Christmas.
It was hard to make all the big kids sit still long enough for a picture!
The movement and merriment is contagiousable moment together.


The movement and merriment is contagious and cheerfully chaotic.
We are thankful for each and every memorable moment together.



...four darling bears, three small teeth, two egg nog slurps,
and a J-Bear dressed as Mother Mary!

Thank goodness, we have seven more Christmas Days to come. :)
