OUR TREE!!!

We did so much this year to get ready for the spirit of the season. We do a nightly bible read, kind of like a nightly advent but different. Its really to much to explain, so maybe I'll do a post on that some day. It really is a wonderful time where our family sits and reads the bible and talks about the blessing of being forgiven and how amazingly much God loves us.

We do the annual go look at Christmas Lights thing.

We made Oreo Truffles..... Um Yummmmmmm

Grayson made Peppermint Play-dough for his cousins.

I love this because my house smells like Peppermint for the entire day...:D and because

I think its just amazingly sweet of my son to want to do this for his cousins:D.

It has been an amazing Christ filled Christmas. I can't believe another year has come and almost gone.

It is so true that sometimes the days are long, but the years are short and I am soaking in and loving every second with my precious family.
