sights and smells of Christmas...


The ludicrous amount of sweets consumed has begun!

Christian Fellowship Academy's concert night!
The thrift store pulled through for some Christmas-y apparel! 


When family living nearby is nowhere to be found, special traditions carry on with special people who long for the same comforts. And we love these people.



Our FIRST family picture of the 7 of us! Yes, Lemuel will be 6 months in a few days. Better late than never.

Still such a mama's boy.


Only a mama thinks this face, still healing from the effects of a virus weeks ago, is precious in every little way. 

The tree. Much larger than we thought. MUCH larger than our little space can/should really contain, but the kids LOVE it!

It's a great BIG big world out there to discover and take in. Good thing the tree fell over in the night and we could properly tie it to the window so as to avoid a treacherous outcome for this guy.


7 Stockings now. 

Christmas Advent story books and tree.


It's Christmas in our home. The kids are wrapping up old toys, making creations for each other and couldn't be more excited to give them! This giving of good things has really sparked much fun and interest. And I know it comes from heaven above. Because how special to think, the best Gift giver of all gave the very best gift for me, for them.

These traditions. This time. More than even the giving! Just tools to point to the best gift of all... Jesus.
