Post-Christmas Play





We are enjoying all of our new toys around here, and can't imagine our house without the new playroom. The kids spend hours in there....building, creating, coloring, cooking. Will and I are also having fun with our toy - a Sony digital camera! I think you will notice the difference in our photos. (coming soon!)It is so clear, and the best thing is that it is quick! We can finally catch the kids in their sweet and funny moments. Thanks to everyone for our gifts.

Christmas Through a Child's Eyes







In my 29 years I have never been so excited about Christmas as I was this year.
Everything came to life as I watched my son beam when he talked about the baby Jesus and His birth. Tonight I have a full heart as I remember each moment.....
*Jack singing happy birthday to Jesus
*Listening to Will read the Christmas story to our kids
*Jack saying "thank you, I love you" after opening each gift
*The kids big eyes as they opened the playroom door (tied with a big red bow!) and found their new train, kitchen, garage, chair, and coloring books
*Delicious food with family
*Long afternoon nap
*Cuddling with the kids in their Christmas pajamas
Will and I have often talked about that sad feeling that comes at the end of a long, exciting Christmas day. As I feel the hours slipping by, I am already anxiously awaiting next year! There is nothing like the hope and joy of Christmas.
As a family, we "thank God for his indescribable gift" of His son Jesus and wish all of you a joyful Christmas day and night. (2 Corin. 9:15)
