MERRY CHRISTMAS

JUST WANT TO WISH ALL OF MY FRIENDS & FAMILY A VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS! MAY YOU REMEMBER THE REASON WE CELEBRATE CHRISTMAS....THE BIRTH OF CHRIST!

Christmas Program 2008

This is just a few pictures from our Church Christmas Program by the younger children. Zachary was sick with the flu so he was unable to attend. He was supposed to be a shepherd. The children did an AWESOME job!

Christmas Comes Early Sometimes....

We had Christmas with my Parents early due to them going away for Christmas while I remain home and work :( We started our evening out with a Pizza Supper....ALWAYS GOOD! Hannah then read us the Christmas Story...reminding us of the TRUE reason we celebrate Christmas. Abigail said a prayer for us, thanking the Lord for all the blessings He has bestowed on us throughout the year. YES, many difficulties, but He helped us through them all! Then Abigail began handing out gifts. We certainly had a wonderful time and we thank Mom & Dad, Grandma & Grandpa, Hannah & Naomi for EVERYTHING! They outdid themselves again. THANK YOU SO MUCH!

OH THE WEATHER OUTSIDE IS FRIGHTFUL......
I only like this weather if I do NOT have to go out in it. Unfortuantly, around here it's almost next to impossible to not have to go out sometime during the day. I guess that's what winter is all about huh! That's why I cannot wait until Summer!!!! (Or at least Spring ~ I'm not one for cold anyway) Anyway, as of now here's what we have and it's still coming down. I suppose I'm going to pretend to be a bear for tonight (of course my DH probably thinks I'm a bear ALL the time) and go hibernate for the night.

Even poor little Cuddles has to forge the snow...thankfully he is black so he doesn't get too lost :-)

In other news....the tooth fairy will be visiting AGAIN tonight :-} That's right Abigail lost another tooth tonight. She has another one that's VERY close to coming out so I'm sure we haven't seen the last of 'her' for this year.
