Well...Mom and Dad finally got to celebrate their 2013 Christmas with their 5 grandchildren.
Although the time is never long enough when we're together, it probably was the best Christmas we've had together as a family since my brother Adam left our family 7 years ago.
As sad as the situation is, life does go on. And the grandchildren are definitely what keep my parents going!
Thanks to "Santa" for the matching "Santa Loves Me" pj's for the girls (complete with red tutu's) and for Andray's new "Bruce the Moose #11" jammers!
Time for the "goofy" pose!
First night at home...priceless.
Papa Larry sleeping with Baby Carrine on his chest in front of the Christmas tree.
Doesn't get any better than this.
Love Carrine's newest "scrunched up" face.
Santa brought the 4 older grandkids new shovels! Very practical!
The big kids surrounded CC with all the musical toys in Gma Carol's house :)
Carrine had an audience while the other cousins went outside to sled!
Carrine's first Christmas with Papa Larry and Gma Carol.
Isa and Amelia gave our kids a "Cookies for Santa" plate - awesome!
Andray loves his new toy from the Planes movie, a Mater ornament and new Bath Robe!
Nothing makes Miss Amelia happier than new tights and fancy skirts!
Photos like these are priceless - Roslyn opening her ballerina ornament.
Thank you Aaron and Megan for Carrine's new special plate!
Roslyn hugging her Godfather Aaron - she LOVES her new Fairy Magnet Doll!
LINGL CHRISTMAS - 2013
Four generations of Lingls - beyond thankful that my kids have a relationship with their Great Gram "Chip."
Carrine - one happy lil' Elf :)
Carrine sat on Gram's lap the entire 2 hours of opening gifts.
Back at home - Papa Larry trying to get CC to touch the Christmas tree.
She was one happy baby.
Our family of five. Tell Jake every day how thankful I am for our kids and our health.
We had an incredible Christmas Holiday as a family.
Got to see many family and friends.
If only I could freeze time...
Thanks to my parents for all they do for the entire family.
Anyone lucky enough to know my parents should consider themselves blessed.
Here's to never giving up HOPE and for being grateful for God's GRACE.
