I am very excited about Christmas this year, as all my kids will be home! We are even scheduled for family pictures...yay! I have put together a few pics of what is set up so far... I still haven't found the star I want for the top of the tree... but am looking for the one I want! Maybe today is the day I will find it!
Christmas is a beautiful time of the year. I think mostly it's about families, good friends, being together and celebrating the birth of our Savior Jesus Christ. I have had this nativity a long time... and look forward to setting it up each year and thinking of that beautiful time when Jesus was born, humbly with family around and those who loved Him... that's what Christmas is to me.
The mantle...my sister gave me those candle holders with the candy cane candles many years ago... love to get them out each year also.. I love traditions!
If you look closely you can see 2 little angel ornaments with our 2 little angel's names on them..Melissa and Courtney.
Christopher and Tim are home this year, a first in many!!! They live nearby in Mesa.
I couldn't get everything done without the help of these 2! They are always willing to pitch in!
We hung snowflakes this year in the window.. I thought they looked so pretty! Still working on the tree.. I bought it last year with the money from my garage sale . Those after Christmas sales for trees are great!
Of course the first thing I did was change out the door! MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE! Can't wait to see you you my dear sweet loved ones and friends that mean so much!
Richard & Marcy with their handsome boys!!! Marcy is our oldest..she is the best daughter in the whole world,(next to LL, C, and M) We appreciate and love that they are only 5 minutes away!
Here are the Wyatts' . They have the little ones in the family and of course they sure take darling pictures! Caden you are so handsome! Your little brother and sister seem to steal the show from us all!
Here are our "tall Texans" We sure enjoyed having them come and stay...sure was hard to see them drive away! They are all very photogenic and dear.
I love this of us with our grandchildren. I could sit with them all day long and into the next day...ahhh I feel the love!
Oh my how we have grown in size!!! We had such a great picture day! Cloudy but a bit sunny as you can see by our squinting.. but all in all I loved this day! In the car riding to our picture place.. I told the little ones if they smiled nicely and were good, I would give them a dollar! Boy I guess it worked cause they did a great job!!! (and all collected their well-deserved dollar!)
To think it started with us! I'm amazed how the years seem to fly by... I love my husband and family more than you all will ever know!
