Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas from us! We have had a wonderful year and hope that all of you have too! The goodness of our families and friends continues to bless our lives more than we can say. We are so thankful for our Savior and celebrate his birth, his life, and his sacrifice for us. We pray for peace and joy in 2011 for all! Merry Christmas.

Gingerbread House Party

We had a great time at our Gingerbread house party this year! We had six houses when we were finished:
Michelle, Aaron, & Junie
Dave, Jen, Lizzy & Julie
Mikey & Jessica
Katie & Dad
Noah & Grammy
Addie & Papa
They looked great! Grammy always has tons of great colorful candy to use! Noah's strategy was to pack the most candy onto his house for eating later, Addie made his complete with a vampire face, and Katie's was just cute and colorful! We ate lots of pizza and watched Elf, one of our favorite holiday movies. It is so fun to be with the whole family around the holidays!

Tis the Season

We are very merry over here!! We love you Christmas!

It is always fun to get out these darling angel ornaments. They are so special to me. My sister made these for me the Christmas after our baby Jillian passed away and although 8 years have passed by it is very sweet to think of our little angel.

My favorite ornament when I was a little girl is now Katie's favorite.

The Christmas cookies and treats are being baked, eaten, and given away!! Yummy Christmas!

The Christmas stories are being read, and then read again, and again.

At our house baby Jesus is always being adored very seriously. You will never find anyone in our Nativity far from him.

The house is decorated, Christmas everywhere and the stockings are hung by the chimney with care!

Merry Christmas Season everyone!
