Early Christmas

After a few fun days in Pigeon Forge, we went over to Mom and Dad’s for an early Christmas Celebration with Josh’s family.

Papa reading the Christmas Story…

After presents, the boys (Levi and Colton)decided to raid Nana’s costume closet! They found some new costumes that totally delighted their souls..

How sweet is this? Levi reading to his cousin, Colton.

Kindergarten Nativity

Today some sweet precious 5 and 6 year olds took us back to Bethlehem to remind us the real meaning of Christmas.

(I love the Baby Jesus feet in this shot!)

A Downtown Christmas

The Children recently sang their little hearts out at our church’s “A Downtown Christmas” presentation.



Zach sang with the “big kids” in the Secret of Snowflake County” Musical.

After the Music, the kids showed off their art work in an art gallery…




After the Art Show…we took a few pictures with our guest of honor.

A Mama Party!!

After several years of not decorating, I dusted off the Christmas China, hung the garland, went to Hobby Lobby a gazillion times to get ready for
A Meaningful Christmas!! 

A few years ago my friend Brittney and a friend of hers came up with the most amazing idea! Get 24 of your girlfriends together, each of you make an ornament 24 times…and exchange! Each ornament goes along with a family devotion to get your family focused on the Real Meaning of Christmas---our precious Lord and Savior’s birthday.
I will admit the prep part had its stressful moments, but the payoff and preciousness of everyone’s creativity was beyond my expectations!
Take a look….








I had such a fun night with some of my most precious friends and met some new friends too!




And these 2 cuties got in on some of the action after the party was over Drinking up the extra “fancy drinks”

We wish you a VERY Merry Christmas this year!
