Tis The Season To be Jolly...Love the Gillilands

          Where oh where should I begin, since I've obviously been slacking here lately (I'm really sorry my sweet babies)!!! First off, you girls totally kicked butt at your first cheer competitions, and showed no fear at all!!! Most of all, I'm so excited to finally be the loud mom!!! Really, I laugh as I watch your videos because I'm so loud as I root you girls on!!!! I know really, that's hard to believe. Madisyn, I have to give you a BIG OLE THATTA GIRL!!! To have your coach brag on you is one thing, but when she brags on you because you got some girls together to stop and pray (without anyone telling you to) is another!!! I can't tell you enough how honored that makes me feel (not only did you pray one time, but like 7 times)!!!! I am so proud of you and all your friends for realizing what comes before ANYTHING! I love the friends you have in your life. As parents, it brings us so much joy to know your friends are just as loving, silly, and spiritual as you are!! You, Bray, and daddy are my biggest rewards at the end of each day!! You all three let me know what all I have accomplished at the end of the day, good or bad. Here are some pictures of your first competition.
Ok, I'm done with the picture overload, can you tell I'm a proud mama?
While daddy escaped us for a week and went hunting, you were treated to Disney on Ice (Thanks Gigi)! I have to say, I had butterflies and absolutely loved it as much as you girls did. Pretty sure you can never be too old to want to be a princess. You girls will always be our little princesses! We had so much fun and the highlight of it all was seeing your little eyes sparkle! I wouldn't miss that sight for the world.
 
Bratlee(I mean Braylee), you threw a horrific fit over some Rapunzel hair. I now have a strong dislike for this princess, thanks to you. You continue to talk about it 2 weeks later grrr. You still make us all mentally challenged but we love you even in the terrible 4 stage. I am convinced you will be a well mannered, minded, child. We do love everything about you, even when you act rotten.
Next, we had the best Thanksgiving ever this year! We have so much to be THANKFUL for and deserve so much less than what we are given. We are all so spoiled by God, yet he is often unrecognized in so many situations.
Your daddy and I have two of the most BEAUTIFUL girls ever!
Finally Elfalfa came back to visit you girls this year. I really have a strong love for this creature, he is great! You never know what he will do while you girls are sleeping.


 
That's the life of Elfalfa so far.
On another note,  Madisyn, this is the picture I received after daddy took you to get your eyebrows waxed for the very first time. I must admit, I was devastated that I missed this. I'm so thankful you have such a wonderful daddy! I tried to get him to facetime me while you were getting this done , but being a typical man he refused because there were other people in the shop.
Bless it! This picture is hilarious, yet sentimental. I'm not real sure why daddy didn't think this was such a big deal because it's huge in a girls world anyways!
The thing I'm most thankful for this holiday season is this:
This just melts my heart and makes me completely "Bipolo" as meme calls it! My heart smiles and cries tears of joy all at the same time!!  It is such a privilege to raise you girls... especially raise you through eyes of the Lord! Your daddy and I love you more than you will ever know, Love us!
