Merry Christmas...

Merry Christmas! What a fun season!!!! We are home for Christmas with a little bundle that is the best present ever! Sweet Tess has been precious! Her sisters and brother are in LOVE. I mean they just love her...are somewhat oblivious of her at times but love her none the less. Nana and Poppy came to visit and meet Baby Tess. They could only stay a few days but I was so glad they got to be with us a bit!

Shay's family all got together on Christmas day. Shay's Uncle Dennis and Aunt Marcie were in town as well as his cousins Jill and Travis and their 2 kiddos. It was a mad house at Nick and Kelly's house. Susan and Rob spoiled all of us and the kids got a ton of dolls and new toys. They were loving it.

Then my folks came in and we had Christmas round #2. The girls got clothes and their 1st bike! Precious! Knox got clothes and some tractors and farm animal toys. Again we were so spoiled!

We pray each year that our family just embraces the true meaning of Christmas. Presents are so fun but we pray we always remember that Jesus is enough. It was fun doing our Advent this year as we added a new verse each day to talk to the littles about. The girls really remembered day to day the story of Jesus and his birth. We pray it gets written on their little hearts...their hearts. Their relationship with their Savior.

Merrry Christmas!!!
