  • Winter Wonderland

     
    Woke up Sunday Morning to this “Winter Wonderland”.
    A tree next to the house.

  • Preparing…

     
    Getting ready for Christmas is so fun! We celebrate Christmas on Christmas Day, but it actually starts much sooner than that. Putting up the tree, decorating the house, daily Bible reading, singing Hymns at home and church, always striving to keep things simple. During advent we do the same things year after year, we cement them into our children’s storage banks of memory. Every Christmas brings more memories, and it’s the days before and after Christmas that hold many, many special memories. It makes your family special, unique, your children will hold these memories long after they are grown. Let us all try to stay focused on Christ, put Him in the center of our celebrating.
    I love snowmen!
    I also love candles.
    Usually covered in white lights, we let Ben pick the color this year and he wanted colored lights.
    The girls practicing Christmas Carols!
    We put fresh garland on the mantle every year.
    Ben giving Grant a ride on his shoulders!

    Hope you have a blessed time with your loved ones preparing for Christmas.
    And, behold, thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and bring forth a son, and shalt call his name “Jesus”. He shall be great, and shall be called the Son of the Highest: and the Lord God shall give unto him the throne of his father David: And he shall reign over the house of Jacob forever; and of his kingdom there shall be no end.
    Luke 1:31-33
