A Wonderful Family Christmas!

This truly has been our best Christmas yet!

Happy Birthday Jesus!!

Dear Jesus, today we celebrate Your Glorious Birth! You chose to come to this earth with such humble beginnings. Please always keep us mindful of what is truly humble and most important.

As we grow into adulthood our perceptions change from receiving gifts(as a child) to sharing more lasting gifts of faith, hope, and love. These are gifts I treasure, and want to pass on to our children.

We were given a suggestion to wrap Baby Jesus, and open our Present on Christmas Day. This will always keep us mindful of Who is truly the Gift of Christmas. Emma first gave Baby Jesus a block which is funny because we told her Jesus brought her the blocks. (Ok, so maybe not the best gift of choice, but she kept asking for them, and the night before in prayer she asked Jesus for blocks.) Madeline had to check out Baby Jesus, and of course she used her best, most reliable sense, taste.

These Shoes Were Made for Walking

Madeline got her first pair of walking shoes. Though she is cruising EVERYWHERE, she's a little nervous to let go.

Madeline, please tell us how you truly feel!

It's Snow Beautiful!

Today we got awaken by beautiful news....It's snowing. Emma woke up early with all the fuss (Madeline wasn't bothered and wanted to sleep in). We decided to make a little snowman which Emma had to check on every 15mins(my little mama). Daddy ended up being off so we had a magical cozy day!

Maddie turns 1 !!!!!

Dearest Madeline, you are such a blessing to our family. You have brought us so much joy and love. Daddy and I are so thankful for every day we have with our two girls. We pray today that not only do you receive God's blessings, but that you realize just how much you are loved by all those around you! Happy Party Take Madnee!

Madeline's Birthday at the Zoo

The Lord could not have given Madeline a more beautiful day to celebrate her life. Thank you to all our family who came to celebrate with us. We rode the train, ate Happy Party Take, played on the playground, visited with the animals, & most of all had a GREAT time with each other. Thank you !
