Christmas Day Searching For Aric's Wedding Ring

The story behind all these awkward pictures:

Christmas day we all decide to go play football at the park. A little into the game Aric realizes he lost his wedding ring!! AWW!! So that was the end of football and the search began.

We never did find his ring... =(

Christmas Morning!

Christmas Morning is always so magical! You wait and wait and wait and then Christmas Eve finally comes. Then you can't sleep all night because you're sooo excited and then it's here! Christmas!!!

I'm still always surprised by everything in my stocking and presents! I'm so spoiled, and so blessed to be in such a wonderful family!

Christmas Eve!

Santa Clause came to Grandma's house!

The Melland family!

Decorating the CHRISTMAS TREE!!

Our Christmas tree this year was the best I can remember having! It was ginormous and smelt really good!

we all watched while...

Sarah started with the lights!

Riley never wants her picture to be taken, i don't know why because she's drop dead gorgeous!

Dad giving me a glare for taking his picture...

Georgia looking beautiful trying to fix the endless strands of broken christmas lights we have

Mother <3>

We started helping Sarah when it was time to put all the ornaments up! heehee

Dad put our angle up, but the tree was so big this year that angle had to bow her head a little

Dad always had the best faces in pictures

Love this Picture!!!

Hannah’s graduation!

Hannah did it!

She walked across the stage and got her diploma! So proud to be her friend!

Fun With The Englers

Kendra is getting so BIG! She (thinks she) knows how to do everything!

Naptime with the girls can be quite traumatic… Being away from your sister for one whole hour! No way!

Kendra is supposed to be taking a nap but is actually playing with Julia from under the door!

Cutest girls ever!

There is one bad thing about locking Kendra up for her nap…her room can be quite messy when she wakes up…

Messy again...

Sunday, while gone at church, our beans cooking on the stove made a purple speckled mess!

The eyeless child!

If you don’t believe me… here’s the proof!
