Nutcracker

We have an army of nutcrackers!  Why you ask?  Well ever since Archer was born in 2008 Mimi (Andrew's mom) has bought a nutcracker for the boys!  She would put their names on the bottom and the year she gave it to them- it was a special keepsake for them!  Unfortunately last year was the last year she was able to give them to the boys.  Mimi passed September 20, 2012 after struggling with pancreatic cancer ,since February of 2010, to be with JESUS.  This has been a rough year as we have lost Andrew's Dad and Fozzie (our Jack Russell of 9 years) as well.  Who would of thought that we as parents would of had to explain to our children 3 times in one year that people very special to them went to Heaven to be with Jesus!  It brings such peace and comfort to know that they are healed and in a better place with our Lord and Savior!  He brings eternal life!

Well...our Aunt Devra (Andrew's sister) is keeping the tradition alive- she got Archer his 5th one, Ashton his 3rd one, and Kirby her first one!  We greatly appreciate her and her willingness to keep it going!  Thanks Aunt Devra for your love and support!  We love you! So if you march into our home- watch out for the piano as the army of nutcrackers are guarding it! :) Merry Christmas!
