White Christmas!!

We had a beautiful white Christmas! We played outside and roasted marshmallows while it was still snowing. What fun memories!!

Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas!

Let us join with the angel voices

Let us join their happy song

All of heaven and earth rejoices

For the Lamb of God has come

He has come to rescue sinners

Come to meet our desperate need

He was born to bring forgiveness

Born for Calvary

Our gingerbread house

Going through stockings

Alleluia, Hope has come

Alleluia, Christ has come

We once were slaves in misery

Till You appeared and set us free

Alleluia, Hope has come

Christmas Breakfast: Cinnamon Buns

Bentley eating his special treat

Marseille not sure what to thing

Let us lay our gifts before Him

Let us magnify His Name

With our thankful hearts adore Him

For the Lord has come to save

He has come to break sin’s power

He has come to set us free

Hope was born that glorious hour

Christ the mighty King

Everyone was excited with their toys!

Alleluia, Hope has come

Alleluia, Christ has come

We once were slaves in misery

Till You appeared and set us free

Alleluia, Hope has come

Fun Times :)

Here are some pictures of our trip to Asheville for our Anniversary and our trip to Downtown :)

The view from the one of the balconies at the Grove Park Inn.

We visited the National Gingerbread Competition that was in the Grove Park Inn.

The house from the movie Up was a winner of the youth category.

I thought this pagoda was cute and clever, especially the popcorn trees.
The grand prize winner! Can you believe that is gingerbread!

Some of the pretty gingerbread houses were pretty amazing!

A frozen waterfall at the Grove Park Inn Spa!

The most unusual antique we found that day. Someone must have sported this phone!

Falls Park on Christmas Eve!
Riding the elevator to find the Festival of Trees.
All of these ornaments were made out of thin wood, it was really nifty!
The BEST family EVER!!

5 YEARS!!

My how time flies! Happy 5th Anniversary, Danny! I love you so much :)

Danny has the day off today and we are going to look for snow, if the current weather allows! We have a fabulous family watching the kids for us for the day and night :)

Silly Girl!

enJOY!

I haven't been posting pictures because I haven't been motivated to take pictures because my camera is dying. So, with that here are a couple that I did take of my little joys!

Playing with rice.

Playing with beans.

Silly Bentley loves his hats!

Getting ready to read Jesus Storybook Bible

Tickle time!

Whew! We made it to December :)

Can you believe that it is already December 1st?! I'm so excited at the thought of Christmas and the beginning of a new year! Today I made an Advent Calendar for Danny. Each day he has a scroll to unravel. Some of the scrolls are words of encouragement and areas that I have seen him grow this year, others are memories and the rest are memories to be made :)

I wanted to look over our calendar from this year to make sure that I had memories that actually happened this year! I was astonished when I read all the things that we have done this year. It will be another post, because I want to look back and remember all that God's grace allowed us to accomplish: medically, financially, and physically. Here is a peek at Danny's Advent Calendar, it hangs above his clothes in our closet. It's just one long red ribbon with scrolls tied to it. I hope he likes it :)

This year we have also begun a scripture Advent for the kids and to do an Advent wreath. It has made the season more meaningful and it has just begun!
