We spent a long weekend in south Florida prior to our Christmas holidays and actually got to see snow! Fake snow, of course, but the kids enjoyed it nonetheless :) It was wonderful to be outside in December. We were able to spend time at CityPlace in West Palm Beach and a wonderful night at Bayside in Miami. The boys got to ride a train and a beautiful merry-go-round and Nathan was able to Bungee/Trampoline jump about 30 feet in the air. He loved it!
Here are 3 of my very favorite people in the whole world! Noah was asleep or his pretty face would be here too :) What can I say except that I am so blessed to have these beautiful souls in my heart, my family, and my life. Thank you Jesus for blessing me so much!
My family always makes my birthday a special one and this year was no exception :) We sang, ate cake, and opened presents. We even did it twice when some friends from the Spanish ministry dropped by after church. Thanks be to God for His grace towards me!
We can hardly believe our first little boy God gave us is becoming a much bigger boy these days. He celebrated his 8th birthday with a Lego cake shared with some friends from our Homeschool co-op and a couple even spent the night! They played games, built Legos, giggled to Tom & Jerry cartoons, ate some tasty cake, and had a blast spending time together. We are so thankful for the blessing Nathan is to our family and we are so proud of him.
This year we finally had space -after almost 3 years with tiny space -to put up our beautiful tree and all the decorations that go with it. We try to emphasize that the lights represent Jesus being the Light of the World and the gifts are simply reminders of the Gift of Jesus and the ones the wise men brought to Him. We love taking time to celebrate the birth of Jesus the King. Merry CHRISTmas to everyone :)
