CHRISTmas Celebration

PHEW!  Christmas is over and long gone, but...I'm way behind.  So...here is a bit of our Christmas in pictures.  It was busy, but...so much FUN...I LOVE hanging out with family and being exactly that FAMILY!  Check out Hal's so super cute dress...her Foster Mom, Mary Lynne made it especially for her.  AND...you may see a trend here...Halle loves DOGS.  It was so fun to see Christmas through Halle's two-year old eyes this year.  She is getting it!!

Santa....or NOT?!

Would you do me a favor?  Read this post.  My friend Dena says this so well.  There is no Santa at our house and he will never be here.  For Christmas is about JESUS!  HIS birth......the wisemen, shepherds, Mary and Joseph....and singing "Away in a Manger".
