Christmas Recap

Merry Christmas, or feliz Navi-davi as H told everyone she encountered!  Here's a little run down of preparing for and celebrating Christmas.  There was a lot of hustle and bustle, how do you avoid this completely?  I tried to be intentional about introducing the girls to the true Light of Christmas.  I think some of it made an impression, maybe.  What a relief that my job is to point to Christ and His responsibility is to change hearts.  Sometimes I exhaust myself trying to be God a heart-changer.  But I digress.  And I'm back to grace.  So here goes...




"It's not going in our yard, Russ.  It's going in our living room."





Building our awesome gingerbread houses.  It's ok, Whit.  There's always next year.  And this would have been much more enjoyable with wine.  Or margaritas.  Just sayin.






Silly sisters in Santa shirts.




Giving her sweet teacher her Christmas gift.  Little Sis in on the action.  This is the face she gives me when she is put out.





Enjoying our pint-sized Nativity.



The big morning.




My parents' house.  Couldn't pass up documenting the skinniest Christmas tree in history.


Bring on the New Year!
