Christmas Slide-show Time

Below is the slide-show from some of our holiday activities. I really didn't want my camera to come between me and being a part of the holiday, and I think that I did a pretty good job. :)

The first few photos are from when just the Sheets went to Harding's campus to check out the lights.

We follow that up with some Christmas cooking prep, followed by Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. This morning we had our traditional Men-Cook-for-the-Women breakfast. And the last few of the pics are of Naomi in her princess/ballerina garb.

Highlights:
*Gideon had "instructions" so that he could identify and hand out everyone's presents. As a result, he can now sight-read all of our family's names.
*I have yet to take a picture of it, but JR's present to me is a BEAUTIFUL ring to wear on my right hand. B-E-A-Utiful!
*Until last night, all the games we played with the family, Mom/Gigi was always on the winning team. However, last night the ladies lost one round of Mental Floss to the men.
*We've started a new tradition of singing and dancing the SuperWhy! dance as the start to the Men-Cook-for-the-Women breakfast. (We know, we are weird.)

And on to the slide-show...


It's hard to believe that this is what the kids looked like last year (same pjs).

Merry Christmas!

G's 3.5 Interview

So I never got around to writing down all about Gideon when he turned 3 and a half. So, instead, I have interviewed him on camera. (I think that I will continue this. It's much neater for the kids to look back on this way.)

With no further ado... Gideon at 3 and a half.


If you can't get it to play here, click on the YouTube button and watch it there. Sorry.

Meeting up with Kay Lynn

Back in college, my life was changed when I met Kay Lynn. She is the most geniune person. And she was IN LOVE with Jesus like no one I had ever seen before. And, belive it or not, we had not had the opportunity to see each other since she got in the car that took her away from her wedding reception June 1, 2002. Yes, you read that right, 2002!

But Saturday, since we were already in Dallas, we met in Waco (a half-way point from her home in Austin) and finally got to see each other again.

She's still awesome. :)


The pictures at the beginning of the slide-show is while we were waiting to meet her for lunch. The pictures of the spaceship is what we saw on our way back to Dallas. :)

Go Fish! and Guitar Hero

This past weekend, we visited Claudia and Ryan in Uptown Dallas. Here are some pics of us playing Go Fish! and rockin' it out on Guitar Hero. Gideon rocked out "Joker".

Enjoy!

Farewell, Carpenter's Kids

Last Thursday was Gideon's last day at his beloved Carpenter's Kids. He has loved his time there!

It was pajama day (a fact that I forgot about when I dropped him off). Naomi and I took Cookies'N'Cream cupcakes for snack time (when I brought his pjs). I snapped pics of all of his cute class-mates.

All day today he's been asking me if he's going to school today. :(

Let's hope that he likes home-preschooling just as much as Carpenter's Kids.
