Lazer Tag Party

I loved his invitations!!

Jake and Charlie are ready to play some Lazer Tag!

His cookies were so cute and very YUMMY!

Paigie had fun too!

My sweet birthday boy!

The highlight for him was getting an Indiana Jones

costume from Charlie. He's been wanting one for a long time!

Happy 7th Birthday Jake

This little boy has brought so much joy into my life. From the moment I found out I was pregnant I loved him. He is who made me a mommy. I am so proud of the little guy he has

become.

Happy 7th Birthday Jacob Robert!

Christmas Day

We spent Christmas Day in Oklahoma City with the Liston Family.

We started out celebrating with Grandma Lois for lunch,

and then headed to Grammy and Papa's for dinner.

Here is Grandma Lois with only part of her great-grandkids.

She has a lot!!

I love this picture!

Paige helped Grandma Lois open her presents.

Jake looks pretty excited to be hangin' out with Grammy.
Don't you think?

Paige loves her baby cousin, Jenna.

Christmas Morning

Our First Christmas in the new house......

This is what Jake asked Santa to bring him,

and he was super excited when he got it!

My baby loves girlie books!

Check out that smile

Santa brought Paige a pink vtech
so she can play video games too!

Christmas Morning was a lot of fun! I didn't sleep well the night before. I kept waking up checking the time. I just knew I would hear little foot steps coming down those stairs. We actually had to wake them up at 7:30. They must have been tired!

Christmas Eve

I love Christmas Eve! We started out my going to Christmas Eve Mass, which is by far my favorite mass of the year. Then we headed to Chilis to eat. It was nice to enjoy eating out since I had been cooking for days. The kids are so excited to see what Santa will bring them in the morning!

I'm going to take pictures like this until they won't let me!

My handsome guys

Ready for Santa!

Cookies and milk are out.

Time for bed......

A Dobson Christmas

Celebrating Christmas with my family is never dull, and this year was no different. This is the first Christmas in our new house, and I must say that it's everything I ever dreamed of. I love having enough space for everyone to be comfortable and a kitchen that can accommodate a lot of people. I have a big family! I look forward to many more celebrations in our home.

Always a princess....

The girls

Always a Star Wars fan....

Friends Christmas

Tonight we celebrated Christmas with our special group of friends.

There are 14 kids between us, and boy-o-boy did they have fun!

Santa made a surprise visit!

Jake and Paige have been extra good this year.

They have seen Santa 3 times already!

This guy was pumped about his new dinosaur book.

Paige told Santa this time that she wanted a dog.

I hate to tell her that Santa won't be bringing one. Ha!

She waited so patiently to open her gift.

As you can tell, she loved her princess book!

The kids gathered for a story about the first Christmas.

Yummy hot chocolate was served after all the Christmas caroling. This might have been my favorite part of the evening. We went through the neighborhood and sang songs. There was one little old lady that was so precious. The kids totally made her day, probably even made her year, by singing to her. Good memories!



Hearing their little voices melts my heart.
