All wrapped up and no place to go!

What a great family-filled couple of days!

Christmas Eve

We enjoyed a candlelight service and then off to bed we went! ~After we put out cookies and milk for Santa. Supergus was bound and determined to catch Santa in the act this year, but was snoring before 10:00 p.m.! He fell asleep with the flash light in his hand. So cute!

Good for Supergus!

Supergus made "WOLF" in Cub Scouts!

He's been working hard and was excited to earn this patch!

Way to go!

There's snow way to have more fun!

We've been enjoying the newly fallen snow at every opportunity we get! One afternoon we walked through our woods listening to the "Winter quiet" and writing our names with sticks in the snow. Today we went sledding and tried out Supergus's new snowboard. I crashed and burned, but he caught on pretty well, actually. (Boy, I still hate snow up the back when you slide down the hill!) Cupcake's unsure of the fluffy, cold stuff, but she's investigating it.

It's been fun-filled days of making memories. Loving it!

New favorite toy!

Who needs fancy toys when we have a food container to look through? For several days now, Cupcake has been "wearing" this around, giggling! Too funny!

Christmas ought to be easy~we get her a lid for it!

Thanksgiving

Cupcake helped Supergus make the stuffing. Okay, she ate more than she helped, but it was cute! It was a great day! We indeed have a lot to be thankful for!

Truth through the eyes of a child...

"And despite busy schedules, this Christmas we are celebrating everyday! As we took our children to Kraynaks to see all the beautiful displays, lights and trees-- I cried. I couldn’t help it! For years, we wanted to take our kidS to this and celebrate the love of Christ with them both and the reality was emotional. At the end, a breathtaking display of the Nativity was made perfect. Cupcake stood at the feet of Mary and Joseph (who were holding baby Jesus) with her outstretched arms and grasping fingers indicating, “Please, baby? Please!” If only more people wanted Christ so simply..."
