Christmas Morning at our House

Christmas morning at our house. The boys begged for a big kitchen to play with and Santa granted their wish! They also got some new Care Bear DVD's, some trucks, microphones, all sorts of goodies and they played the day away. Granny made country ham, sausage and biscuits after we got home from church. Aunt Terra came to visit and celebrate Christmas with us and then Grandma and Skip came over later in the afternoon.
their new favorite gift was the personal cd players that Granny got them- complete with Taylor Swift cd's of their very own. When Josh discovered that Taylor Swift was singing he started waving his arms around and said "this is awesome, this is soooo awesome!!!" We've never heard him say awesome before so it was really funny.
they were really into opening gifts this year and it was hard to slow them down so they didn't open everyone's presents. They had a lot of fun when we would drive around and let them see Christmas lights and Jake always got excited when he saw a nativity set and would make us stop in the road so he could see the Baby Jesus. This has been our best Christmas yet!

Christmas Eve 2007

This is us at my brother Paul's house in Hopkinsville, KY. That's Josh with Mom and Jake with Dad.

My little singers

the boys are in love with Taylor Swift- we have to watch her sing "our song" over and over and we have to listen to her cd everytime we are in the van. they are out of hand with their crush on Taylor!

they got microphones for Christmas and I think that was their favorite thing out of all the gifts they got this year!

Merry Christmas from The Gillespie's

don't you hate it when you get a much cuter picture after you've already done the Christmas cards??? That's what happened to us this year. After several trips to see Santa I finally decided the pic I used on the card was the best I was gonna get so I got the cards printed.... then we saw Santa again. I had to share the pictures somewhere so here they are. ;) Marla

Grinch Ice!

We took the boys to Nashville to Grinch Ice! last week. It was the coldest place I have ever been!!! The boys didnt' waste any time making their way out of the ice and into the snack bar for hot chocolate. ;) Merry Christmas- Marla
