Daddy's new office help

"This is serious folks. I'm on a CALL."

More on that musical action!

Yay, everybody's gotten in on it!

Do you know what sound a deer makes?!

Well, we don't either, but we sure had fun pretending!

Natalie is learning all of her animals and their signs and sounds, but we got stumped when Joshua asked us what a deer says. Below is the picture story of us trying to guess!!

Somebody thought Daddy's rendition of a deer was awfully funny...

Then Natalie joined in!

Serious hooting and hollering all around!! :) No better way to spend an evening as a family!

Love.

LOVE.

We treat love like a noun.

An experience... a moment... a thing.

But in John 13:34 we see a different side of love.

John says simply and honestly, "love one another."

It is not a fireworks feeling or a field of flowers.

It's an action.

A verb.

It's not just about choosing the right person;

it's about becoming the right person,

the type of person who loves the way Christ loved us.

To my wonderful husband,

Six magnificent years later, I can only thank God that He has blessed us so richly!!!

You are an incredible husband - thank you - for loving me as Christ loves...Selflessly, sacrificially, faithfully and joyfully.

It is such a delight to be your beloved bride and I am so excited to spend forever with you!

It was almost a white Christmas!

We'll take the day after though, to be sure!!

Winter wonderland!!!

"Oooooh!!"

Notice how our house is dark though...hmmm....yes...no power!

We were watching Daddy head out to fire up the generator! Yay!

Getting our snow gear on!

Natalie tried swimming in the snow :)

Cutie!

We had so much fun rolling around!!

Our friend D'Arcey came over to ride the PHIB!

(It is SO FUN in the snow!)

The men, getting ready to head out...

And they're off!

What a sweet surprise snow is! So fun!

Christmas day!

Up before dawn...

Hard at work on these lil' yummies!
Daddy does a great job with the kids stockings, they were soooo excited!
"Mia! Mia!" - Natalie with her new kitty!

And Joshua with his new trucks, woohoo!! His fleet is complete.

YaYa joins us for the afternoon!

Joshua wanted to show everyone his new trucks from Daddy!

And the rest of the crew?...

Well, what can I say? They were hungry. :)

As always, trying to get a picture!

A puppet! The kids were captivated.

Natalie with all the bows and her new ladybug garden tools.

Trying to get everything opened...whew.

Serious at play.

It was indeed a wonderful Christmas!
