'Tis The Season

'Tis the season for....

Trying to get that perfect Christmas card photo.
Before you freeze to death.





And late night games of Risk (a few more years and we may even pull it off without any tears!).

School Programs


The one time each year that we eat on china


The annual Christmas morning line up on the stairs

And for doing what we love most....


even if the snow does complicate things

And for being ok with my daughter sitting on a stranger's lap!

And cookie decorating.

And the Christmas Eve PJ party.

And sledding with our besties!

And for long winter naps.


Tis the season that seems to fly by without warning.  The season that is so easy to get caught up in the things that don't matter so much and to forget why we're celebrating. 
It is also the season when we have warm sweat pant days when we can reflect on how blessed we are. 
For health and for the beautiful and safe place where we are so blessed to live. 
For families and friends. 
For a Savior who loves us and understands us. 
Who even endured and in the end died for us. 
And so with that, I'll try to do a little more, try a little harder to be the kind of person that He knows I really am. 
And here's to 2010! 
Happy New Year!!!
