Christmas 2012

Christmas was so much fun this year with Tyce and Parker.  Tyce loved opening the presents and Parker just chilled and enjoyed all the new sights.

This ended up being the best picture we got of Parker in front of the tree, blah...oh well.

Why must kids squint when saying cheese for the camera?  Love this though!

Tyce is already stealing Parker's toys.  I know Parker's thinking, "Just you wait big brother, I'll be able to hold my own soon enough."

Nana and Papa Welch were able to visit over Christmas and it was so nice to see them.  They love our kids and I love that!  Tyce has a little stranger danger complex right now but it makes for a funny picture.

Half way through December we had to evict our renters, not something either party was thrilled about but it was for the best.  But it added to the craziness that is the holiday season and is something we hope to avoid with future renters.  We're hoping the market picks up enough someday that we'll eventually be able to sell that house.  For now, we are still living with my parents and plan on buying another house by the beginning of the summer.

We are very blessed and are so grateful for a loving Heavenly Father and Savior who love and care for us.
