What a blessed Christmas season we have been enjoying! Check it out… 
Jonah and Levi both spent lots of time lying on the floor looking at the tree and/or the presents. Not certain which one was so fascinating to them…
I had to bribe Jonah into looking at the camera, rather than the tree, by allowing him to hold a present. Here, I’ve just informed him that he can’t OPEN the present…he can just hold it. His expression says it all….even if he can’t speak he lets me know when he’s displeased!!
Here are the kids on Christmas Eve, celebrating with all their cousins. Aren’t they a fine looking group of kids…discounting the “homeboy” in the sock cap…..who just rolled out of bed after an afternoon nap…and the sock cap was a better alternative than his hair. Trust me….
And I included this picture of Sarah, just because her legs are too short to touch the ground while sitting in the recliner. And I found it funny… and of course, she did not see the humor in this…..
And this is my Mom and Dad….and they hate to have their picture taken. When I told my dad I was going to post his picture on my blog… he looked slightly confused and then smiled. He has no idea what a blog is….but is too polite to ask….
Jonah, charming his Nana. It doesn’t take much effort on his part….
The smile says it all. I am now officially the “best mom in the whole world”…..according to Levi.
And this is Jacob. With “the” gift of the year….my athletic, academically talented, socially outgoing, oldest son can NOT shuffle a deck of cards to save his life. So I bought him an automatic card shuffler….I’m not certain, but I may not have gotten his vote for “best mom in the whole world”….
Christmas at the Edge house was a very blessed, very special time this year. It’s been a hard year. And for this week…we are thankful for our blessings, ever mindful of Him who bestows those blessings, and we are always, always, always grateful for our wonderful friends and family. Who are quite possibly the biggest blessings of all.
I pray that each one of you had a Christmas as wonderful as ours….

Love the pictures! Thanks for guiding me over here to see them! Sounds like you are officially “mom of the year”. I think you deserve the title for much more than awesome presents this year!!! xoxo

Anji-
Christmas at the Edge house looks like it was wonderful! Great pictures – funny, Jackson spent one night just gazing at an ornament on the tree – I snapped some very similar pictures of that night!
On a completely seperate note, I wanted to let you know I found a great GF bread mix. Bod’s Red Mill GF Wonderful Bread Mix. Check out my latest post for a positive review. Also, wanted to tell you that for pasta, we go with Tinkyada brand. Jackson eats either the brown or white rice one just fine. I even used the white rice fetticine noodle broken up for homemade chicken noodle soup for him when he was sick.
How is Jonah’s health lately? I think about you often and hope that all is well.
Take care,
Jayne
