Christmas

Most of my friends have abandoned their blogs and are spending their time on Facebook or just emailing. I really enjoy my blog and actually write a lot, then never post what I write. My goal for 2010 is to write more and goof off less! I realized today that it has been a month since I have posted on my blog. Far too long to go between postings. Our family is thoroughly enjoying the Christmas season so I decided to post a sampling of our pictures from this December. With the exception of a gift or two, I usually have all of my Christmas shopping complete by Thanksgiving. So, starting December 1 our family can relax and enjoy the fun of the holiday season. Stress, busyness, 'stuff' is not what Jesus Christ came to this earth to give us. He came that we should have life and have it more abundantly. More abundant life is what I am striving for. Not there yet, not even close. But, I can say that I geniunely enjoy Christmas and refuse to allow myself to fall prey to the hectic pace some allow during this season.

I took Eli and MJ to Southern Homes and Gardens and attempted a few pics, what was I thinking?

This is our typical night, hanging out enjoying each other
Is this the most beautiful girl you've ever seen or what? And yes, she is always that happy!

Josey love is the best kind of love there is:
sometimes the 'perfect' picture just doesn't happen!
My best baby:
