Christmas Eve

On Christmas Eve, we attended the candlelight service at our church.  The kids sang some songs and then the story of Jesus' Birth was told.  Everyone did a fantastic job.  It was a perfect way to spend Christmas Eve........

White Christmas

We had an amazing Christmas!!!  What made it extra special was that it SNOWED!!!!  We had a "White Christmas"!  The snow was so incredibly beautiful!  We celebrated Christmas with family.  We enjoyed a BIG country breakfast followed by gifts, coffee and fun in the snow!  What a great day we had!!  We are all so truly blessed and are so very thankful!  

Merry Christmas

Christmas Crafts

On Monday, we enjoyed a nice afternoon with the Rasmussen's from church.  All the kids (8 of them) made a gingerbread village.  Let me say that this was a lot of work.  We could not get the houses to stand at all.  It took forever but we finally made the village.  I would love to meet someone who can make a gingerbread house look as beautiful as they do on the box.  They all turned out great though.  I think all the kids had a blast.  Here are some of the pics from our day...........

William and Violet......These 2 are always joined at the hip!  They have so much in common being 

born on the same day!!  They get along perfectly!!  It is precious to watch them play!
