Zuri's first Christmas in the USA








Santa brought all of our kids one gift this year. In years past, he has brought them three gifts because that is how many presents Jesus received and we should never outdo him:) However, this year the recession has hit Santa's workshop. Truthfully, Mommy and Daddy have fought off being sad because we could not give our kids more presents, but each time those thoughts would come I (Jimmy) would just think of what we do have and realize that there is no greater gift than to have Zuri - she is a gift that keeps on giving the whole year long. We are shaping her life and she is in turn shaping ours as well. I hope you enjoy the simplicity of these images as she takes in what it means to celebrate Christmas as a part of a family. Yes, that includes being tortured by Santa Clause and by strange hats that she doesn't want on her head - her siblings loved it! Again, that's all a part of being in a family...right? Merry Christmas. Claudia - you need to watch the new YouTube video that is for you.

Zuri's new hair-do






Here is Gayla's first attempt at the puff-ball method. She's darn cute regardless of how her hair is done.

The 5K Reindeer Romp and Team Spirit Claudia






We are having fun dressing up our Claudia. Now she is sporting Alabama gear to get ready for the National Championship game. Leia and dad ran with some friends this Saturday morning in a 3-mile marathon. Lot's of fun with friends in the 23 degree temperature. Uganda sounds better and better:)

Check out the latest Youtube video. Zuri loves it when Alabama makes a big play and today there were lots of them.
