Merry Christmas, Girls!

Last night at church we had our high school youth group Christmas party. Anyway, I got a snapshot of some of the girls in my small group, and I wanted to post them. These are some of the sweetest (and funniest) girls you will ever meet.

Merry Christmas, girls!!

Cookie Monster

We have been busy making goodies for Christmas these last few weeks. Instead of gifts, we hand out Chex mix, caramel corn, fudge, and cookies. Noel has been very interested in "helping" me, which usually means standing on a chair next to me and asking questions about everything, which occasionally getting to lick the spoons. I wanted to show a couple of pictures. The one of him with the sweater is Noel playing hide and seek. He hides in the same place over and over--we're still working on the actual concept of hide and seek!

Let the Season Begin!

Last night we kicked off the holiday season by going out and getting a Christmas tree. It was really special because for the first time we went to a farm and cut our own tree down. We had to walk quite a ways, and it was cold and snowy, but well worth it, as you can see by the pictures. Noel is really starting to enjoy the music and lights. Plus we are reading through the Jesse Tree Advent Calendar. If you haven't done that, it's a really neat way to see how God has been working since creation to bring us to Him.

Anyway, we hope you are enjoying your season so far.
