Holiday Happenings '12

December has brought much joy and laughter thus far, and we haven't even made it to the presents! The kids decorated our family tree with the yearly ornaments they each receive. Steven goes through them one by one and tells the reason for each ornament and the sweet story of the year they joined our family. It really makes decorating the tree a memorable evening. We have made LOTS of yummy treats both to share and enjoy, and have experienced hours of outdoor fun thanks to the amazing weather that NC has offered us. Kadyn was able to play her violin in a musical fireside held by our church, which stemmed the opportunity for our family to join a few others in putting on an evening of music for a couple of rest homes in the area. Those experiences have definitely been our favorite of the season thus far. With Christmas fast approaching we welcome the opportunity - not only to celebrate the birth of our Savior Jesus Christ - but to continue celebrating throughout the year that He lives, He loves us, and He's watching over you and me.
