Christmas Is Coming...

We were able to spend the day together with our family...
We got up this morning and had breakfast together...
We headed out to the most magical place to pick out our Christmas tree...
The Home Depot down the street from our house :)...

There was this crazy long line to pay for the tree...

My sweet sister in law came down to bless me and help me out for a few days... She brought some of Eden's clothes that she had grown out of to give to Skyler... I liked the hat and the shoes... Sorry Skylee in the buff... I was feeling to lazy to walk up stairs to get her clothes...


I can't help but love this face...


Our Nativity
Our Charlie Brown christmas tree...



Santa Sits under our tree...

After we decorated the tree and the house, Joey made sugar cookies
with the kids. He used our cookie cutters and frosted them... And the kids put sprinkles on
"all by self"...

The final product...

Someone's excited about the cookies...


I got a few pictures of the kids!!

LOVE

My Three treasures...

Skylee, why are you so serious?

I sure do cherish these kiddos!!!!!!

I really love Christmas. We listened to Christmas music all day. We had friends stop in and pray over us and with us. My dad brought us some lunch and he decorated the tree with us... My amazing friend Heidi brought us dinner. We ended our day with Mindy and Jason. They came over and prayed over us... Then my tender friend Mindy had the sweetest idea... We sat on the floor in our living room and sang through our tears, "He's Got The Whole World In His Hands" It just might have been one of my favorite "life" moments ever. I will remember it always.
Thank you Lord for the birth of your son. I find it to be NO coincidence that all three of our children that have gone home to be with you, were born during this season. You knew when your son was born that you were going to endure the pain of loosing him. You know first hand what it is like to loose a child. Thank you for this Christmas season.
