ssssllllllooooowwwwwwlllllyyyyyy

that's my attempt at hoping the week goes by slowly. i'm so not wanting christmas to end. this year it has seemed to zip by, like most every year, but this year has been one of the best ones yet. so, i don't really want it to be over.

we enjoyed a family night on friday. we went to see "a christmas carol" and yes we took the kids. parts of it were a little scary but neither of mine seemed bothered by it so it ended up being enjoyable for all. after our movie we took the kids to see santa. both were very excited to talk to him and had no trouble explaining what they wanted. my cuties.

we had another party to go to on saturday night which was a reunion of sorts. ended up being rather small but it was fun nonetheless. sunday we went to see our friends baby girl get dedicated and it was such a great experience. we took communion together and re-visited a church we used to go to. it was an amazing service. so glad we got to be a part of that day.

this week is going to be nothing less than wonderful. my sis gets in tonight and we shall let the merriment continue and get bigger! just a few more pics i wanted to share. i decorated my porch differently this year. no one cares but me really, but i'm proud of the outcome....

and last but not least...i thought i would show one more of our family pics that was taken for us by our good friend! we are just loving the outcome of those as well.

so that's about it for now. it's going to be a busy week but a most extraordinarily fun one! i can't wait and i hope it pokes by.

love to you and yours and hope your holidays are extremely blessed by our saviour's goodness!
