Ho Ho Ho - Merry Christmas!

We had a wonderful Christmas at the Van Derven house. On Christmas Eve, we hung out with Grandpa and Grandma Van Derven. Christmas Day, we opened gifts from Santa, each other and from Nana, Grandpa Andy and Auntie M. It took two full days to open all the loot.

This Christmas was absolutely blessed and perfect. It was complete in every way. We hope you also had a blessed holiday!

Here are some pictures from our holiday - in no particular order. Enjoy!!

Is that even an age appropriate story for a 2 1/2 year old?

Here is our little chili pepper!

better late than never - October milestones

Have ya'll met my cat Jinxy? He can hear a camera turn on from a mile away and comes a'running. He loves cameras. Monthly picture time is Jinxy's favorite days of the month. As you can see, he thought this picture was for him. And for you viewers, my baby isn't tiny, my cat is just huge.

Yes friends, that is Jinxy furr in the corner of this picture.
