Christmas Vacation and A ChildLike Christmas week 4



One of my favorite things in the whole world is Christmas
vacation. I love when school is out and life just gets
a bit slower paced. Well, I say that but my house has
been like grand central station.
The top picture is of my four that still live at home.
They went with friends last night to see the Christmas
lights at a place called California Living Museum.



This is all of their friends that they went with last night.
They are the nicest group of people and I feel like God has
given me just a great bunch more kids and I love having
them at my home all of the time. I love when they
have game night and to hear the laughter and all
of the yelling.



This is the little train that goes around the place.
I loved how happy they looked. It was cold but
I think it was worth it.

I just wanted to share these pictures because
this is my link to Pom Pom and a Child like Christmas
week 4,
To me Christmas is about good friends, lovely family
and memories and having lots of people in my home.

Don't you love to witness that sweet and deep friendship and all the fun that comes with it? I do, too!
I was fairy grandmothering with three of our lovely littles just last night. FUN!

Hi Kim, Reading your post brought back memories of when my girls were at home-such fun! I haven't heard about California Living Museum before but it sounds like fun.
Have a blessed week and wonderful Christmas.
Hugs, Noreen

I love that your kids are not only siblings, but friends too. That is rare, you know. And my guess is it's a tribute to their parents!!

Julia said...

Kim, you are truly blessed and I second what Kim just said. Have a Merry time. Hugs. JB

With my eldest, Sam, my house was the hang out house. I used to spend summer mornings planning the evening's dinner...then I'd have a crowd for the meal. Their energy was so wonderful! I miss those days...
Hugs and blessings!

I love seeing the kids so happy. What a small world it is. One of your kids friends' Dad is someone I have known my whole life from Beardsley, North High and then he and his wife were clients of mine before the boy and his brother were even born. They were clients for 17 years. Funny how God makes all things go full circle. I love how God does that! Pssst, we get a little snow for Christmas :) Love you and miss you.

Watching young people like that enjoy themselves is one of my VERY favorite things to do. I envy you still have sooo many of them around. Your kids are quite cute. ENJOY....

Oh Kim, how full your life is filled with these young people. I can tell by those faces, they're havin' the time of their life. Enjoy 'em sweetie!!!

Mine grew up, brought home friends, then spouses and now grandkiddos!!! Woohoo!!! It just keep on gettin' better.

God bless. You and your precious clan have a wonderfully bright and beautiful Christmas.

MERRY CHRISTMAS YA'LL!!! :o)
