Christmas 2014

Christmas came and went. 

In the blink of an eye

it was over...

how did that happen?

We LOVE Christmas!

LOVE it!

Everything about it.

Jesus.

Teaching our kids about Jesus.

What it really means.

It's not just about the presents in our house.

Its about a little baby boy in a manger who 

came to save us!

Thank you Jesus!

We love the lights.

We love the decorations.

The traditions.

The family fun!

As soon as we came home from

Amarillo at Thanksgiving we were in full-swing

Christmas mode!

From school Christmas parties to 

Ethan's 1st Christmas program at
Preschool to family date/game nights!

 We stayed busy!

Sophie, Ethan & I went to the girls 

Christmas parties!
