Christmas afternoon at Gary & Diana's house

We spent Christmas afternoon at Jon's parents. Grandma and Popo Gary had a mound of presents for the kids and they could not wait to jump in and starting opening them. We got to visit with Aunt Angela, Uncle Anthony, Momo, Rudy and Steve. Jon's cousin Jason was also there with us. Jason was recently accepted into the Dallas Police Academy, so he moved here from Indiana to pursue the police force. We wish him the best of luck and we are glad he is here because the boy's LOVE Jason. Jared is always talking about how funny he is.

Gary's youngest sister Laura came out and brought Sydney & Ethan as well. So that was nice to be able to see her and the kids.

Laura was able to leave and go pick her husband Trevor up from Baylor Hospital so he could enjoy Christmas with everyone. Trevor is a police officer for Watauga and was recently diagnosed with Acute Myeloid Leukemia and Bronchial Pneumonia. His illness was a complete shock to the entire family. Trevor is someone who is never even sick. He said himself that he rarely ever went to the doctor. Trevor had not been feeling well for a couple of months. He just felt run down and had been having frequent headaches. He finally went to the urgent care center and it was at that point they realized something was definitely wrong. They did all kinds of blood work and then told him that he needed to be transported to the hospital right away. Needless to say, Trevor was immediately admitted to Baylor Hospital for chemotherapy treatments. They recently found out that he will need a bone marrow transplant. Thankfully a donor has been found. Please keep Trevor and his family in your thoughts and prayers as they have a long road ahead of them. God has truly blessed this family with a donor being found so quickly.

The below website is a journal of Trevor's story.

Trevor

Angela- my sister in law got me the cutest shirt. Team Jacob!! How cute- I haven't ever seen these shirts before. And for those of you that are wondering... They did not have a Team Jared shirt. Jared would probably prefer me to wear the Team Jacob shirt anyway so he doesn't get embarrassed. :)

Jake got Operation!!! He was so excited. We play it all the time and he is starting to get good at it.

WOW! Jake got a WALL E computer! He will love to sit down and pretend he has to work. Then he will start talking about his pretend boss and co-workers. It is so cute every time he does it. Except for lately he has been asking us how much money he should make per hour? How funny is that!!! And he is not even 4 yrs old yet. He concluded that he will be making $500 an hr... I am not even sure where he got that number from. :)
So needless to say, he will be doing pretty well in the future.

Both of the boys got matching shirts... Jared is holding his in this picture. They looked so cute in them!! Grandma did good getting these. She knows how I LOVE to have them in matching clothes.

I am not even sure what this game is but it is a hit at our house.... Jared and Popo Gary had seen it somewhere and Jared was just thrilled when he got it.
