From our family to yours - Merry Christmas - and a Happy New Year!!

As we celebrate the birthday of our king - I want to just say Merry Christmas to you and your family!!!! We are soooo blessed. We have family, faith, friends, and most of all we have the love of Christ in our hearts. So many years ago God sent His one and only son into this world so that He could shed His amazing blood on the cross, so we could be free!!! Today we celebrate that birth of our King!!!! Thanks be to Christ for His unspeakable GIFT!!!! Have a great day everyone!!!!

Baby its cold outside

It is sooo cold outside, ice crystals are forming on our windows. Yikes thats pretty cold. I went to the grocery store this morning too and it is sooo cold that my fingers hurt from the store to the van to unload groceries. I had to sit on my fingers and put them by the heater immediatly. I sure dont ever remember it being this cold - I am not one to like the cold temps - It just makes me want to curl up in a blankie and sip hot chocolate all day. But, what would we do if we didnt have

these temps and snow and we lived in warm weather all the time. I think that we would definatly want some of it. I think we take it for granted a little - at least I do. I am glad that I live in Michigan. What would Christmas be like without the snow and cold!!! I dont know if I would like it. Just makes it a little more like the feeling of Christmas!!! Enjoy your Christmas everyone!!!

Winter Wonderland

Even tho the temps outside are at below freezing the kids still wanted to head outside. This was a job for daddy, as mommy didnt want to be in the fridged temps. They went outside for about 15 minuites enough to get their cheeks rosy red!!! Then they were back in trampin inside with the wet floor from the boots and all the mess for mom to clean up again!!!! Time for some hot chocolate!!!! : )

Christmas in the air

So I try to get my kiddos to try to take their pics in their Christmas dresses every year!!! Well, only one has cooperated with me sooo far. The one is either in school or doing homework, and the other girlie is well lets just say 16 MONTHS!!! She has other ideas in mind other than doing pictures!!! So here is one and hopefully I can get all 3 in soon!!!! Blessed Christmas to all!!!
