. . . . . . . . Not so Christmasy please!

Savannah said my mom had asked a few times lately for some pictures of the girls. Savannah is the photographer around here these days. However, it's difficult for her to take pictures she should be in with her sisters. So, on Christmas Day I took these snapshots of the girls. They didn't want them to really be Christmas pictures though.

The matching sweaters was funny to me because we all know if MOM had suggested they get matching outfits it would just not have been COOL at all. However, they discovered 2 of them had purchased the same sweaters and decided the other 2 just had to have the same color so they could wear them for the picture. Only problem was, by the time we got back to Old Navy to get them, there were no more in extra small so Skylar had to have a small. As you can see, she wore a gray sweater and black t-shirt under to help make it fit better. It also kept her warmer while we were outside on that really chilly day.

. . . . . . . . . . MERRY CHRISTMAS

Wishing you and your family the merriest Christmas ever! I do hope you have taken a little time to remember why we celebrate this season - the birth, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ who came that we might have eternal life!

Our family had a very nice Christmas. The only thing to make it better would have been if I could have spent some time with my extended family in Arkansas. I have missed getting to spend time with them in the past couple of years. Maybe sometime this year we can head that direction for some time with them.

I'll be getting some new to me appliances next week which will be nice. We've been back in our house for 12 years and the appliances are beginning to fall apart. A dryer, stove and microwave will be delivered next week and we are all looking forward to it. There's a chance of a fridge being included as well.

Now that we've eaten our Christmas dinner it's time for a nap while Home Alone plays in the background.

Again, Merry Christmas!
