Christmas 2009

Celebrating Jesus'birth with our families was so much fun. We were able to spend a good bit of time with each family and it was great! After Christmas we went back to Sweetwater for a week to celebrate my dad's birthday and my brother's college graduation. Here are some pics from all the fun!

We are having a girl!

On January 4, mine and Scott's 7 year anniversary, we had an ultrasound to find out that we were expecting a healthy baby girl in May! We are so excited! With both Aubrey and Eli, we had settled on names before the ultrasound. With this little girl, we are undecided but leaning towards Ava Alise Dewald and we will probably call her Ava. Aubrey, Elijah and Ava...isn't it sweet! God has blessed us with three precious children.

Christmas Morning at the Dewalds

Saturday, December 19th was our Christmas morning. The kids were so excited that it took them forever to fall asleep the night before and then Aubrey woke us all up at 5:45 am on Saturday morning asking if we could open presents. So we got up and read about the birth of Jesus, sang "Happy Birthday Jesus" and ran downstairs to open stockings. After the stockings we went up to bonus room to open gifts from Daddy and Mommy. The kids loved their gifts. They got a train table to play with together and then Aubrey got a princess bike and Eli got the cozy coupe fire truck. Of all the gifts, Eli's favorite was the chapstick that he got in his stocking...who knew something so small could make a child so happy! Aubrey loved her bike of course, and has been riding around the house ever since. We played all afternoon with the new toys while daddy took a nap and then we celebrated Scott's birthday that night with friends. Talk about a busy but wonderful day!

Scott's Birthday

For Scott's birthday we met some friends at Outback and then came back to our house to play games and eat dessert. We took a few cute pics to remember the fun. We also got a few cute pics of the kids eating an Arby's ham and cheddar melt after church on Sunday and then playing with some of their new toys they got for Christmas! Oh yeah, there is a silly pic of Eli wearing Sissy's hair bow...he would be a pretty little girl.

Aubrey's First Chior Performance

Last night, Aubrey and her class performed their first chior "musical". They performed the songs in their chior room for the parents since they are a little too young to sing in church yet and sang seven songs which was quite impressive for three and four year olds. I was not sure how Aubrey would do performing in front of lots of people but she sang every word to every song, did all the actions and played her instruments right on que. She did great and it was so fun to watch. We were proud parents! I have also posted a couple pics we took before our Christmas party on Saturday and a couple pics of a house we went to see with tons of Christmas lights. We have had so much fun celebrating this Christmas season!
