Christmas 2012!!!!!




















Hard to believe that another wonderful Christmas has come and gone.....seriously, where does the time go?  And is it a sign of me getting older that after each holiday, my post has something to do with how fast things fly by now?  Oh my, I am starting to sound older, aren't I??!!  Oh well, if this is getting older, I am all for it!  How blessed I am!!!  We were able to enjoy a wonderful month of December.......lots of fun things to do together as a family, fun times with just Jason and I, wonderful extended family times together, and so many wonderful memories made!!!  Here are just a few of our latest holiday memories.....1) Allie's Christmas choir concert @ school (she sang beautifully and of course, looked so pretty and grown-up....I'm in denial on that grown-up part.....), 2) our annual Ladies Tables of Christmas event @ church (I had the privelege of doing a monologue of Mary....so humbling and amazing to see what God can do thru events like this!), 3) Jason's annual work Christmas Party down in Nashville, TN (he and I were able to head down just the two of us to enjoy a weekend of great food, fellowship with his office, and a bit of Christmas shopping together....one of my favorite weekends of the year!), 4) family outing to Danville, IN to see the Christmas lights display there (kiddos jammed pack in the van, singing carols while eating takeout Chinese food out of the containers, snuggled in our car, seeing the awesome lights....pure FUN!), 5) making gingerbread houses with our cousins (total mess + total laughs = great times!), 6) annual family tradition of heading to the Childrens' Museum on Christmas Eve day (time to play together as a family before the night festivities begin!) and 6) spending Christmas break home from school enjoying each other (while trying not to drive each other crazy....ha!)......we are beyond blessed and thank God for continuing to give us these wonderful times together!  And especially thank Him for the real reason to celebrate Christmas....His son JESUS!  God is so very good......
