I hope you all are enjoying this Christmas season! With all the parties, decorating, gift opening, and family gathering, I hope you don't forget the reason for this season!

We have FINALLY finished decorating our house and are now sitting back and enjoying it. This year we have truly tried to focus on the birth of Jesus and not so much on the gift giving. I thought I would share some pics from around our house!

Merry Christmas to all of you! May God bless you and keep you safe throughout the holidays.

The True Meaning of Christmas

As Christmas grows closer, everyone is in a frantic frenzy trying to get everything bought and wrapped, baking all of the wonderful treats that only come around at this time of year, and traveling to see family! Yet in the back of everyone's mind is the true meaning of Christmas. The birth of our Savior Christ Jesus! The best gift of all!

One of the traditions my family does is buying and decorating a Christmas tree! It's something my family looks forward to at Christmas! One of my brothers made the comment that our Christmas tree is ugly if it isn't lit up, but when it is, the whole tree looks lovely! That is just like the world! The world is a dark place because it is full of sin but when Jesus enters our lives there is a wonderful light because Jesus is the Light of the World!

John 8:12: "When Jesus spoke again to the people, He said 'I am the Light of the World. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the Light of Life.'"

Christmas is one of the only times when people aren't offended if you mention Jesus' name. Everyone attends church and listens to sermons on Jesus' birth, death, and resurrection!

I hope you have a very Merry Christmas!

In Christ,

P.S. There may not be any more posts until the new year because Kat and I will probably be busy; so,Happy New Year if I don't post until 2010!

Fun Decorations!

On Saturday my mother was looking at a website that showed how to make 3D snow

flakes, so we decided to make some for our house! They look awesome and extremely

complicated! The cool thing about them is they aren't hard to make at all!

This is a picture of the first one I made!

After I made this one I got out some foil wrapping paper that my daddy and

I had bought earlier in the day at Hobby Lobby and made this one!

We have a lots of snow flakes around the house now! Our family loves decorating! Especially at this time of year!

Here is a picture of our stockings

My daddy made this ornament a couple of years ago!

I would post a picture of the ornament I made last year but I can't find the

ornament so I can't take a picture of it.

The King reigns and His Son!

White Christmas

As my first Christmas post I wanted to share one of our favorite Christmas songs!

White Christmas

I'm dreaming of a white Christmas,
Just like the ones I used to know.
Where the tree-tops glisten,
And children listen
To hear sleighbells in the snow.

I'm dreaming of a white Christmas,
With every Christmas card I write,
"May your days be merry and bright,
And may all your Christmases be white".

I'm dreaming of a white Christmas,
Just like the ones I used to know.
Where the tree-tops glisten,
And children listen
To hear sleighbells in the snow.

I'm dreaming of a white Christmas,
With every Christmas card I write,
"May your days be merry and bright,
And may all your Christmases be white".

Kat and I love this song and the movie White Christmas!

While this time of year is full of decorations and fun let's not forget the true meaning of Christmas- Jesus' birthday (at least it's the day we celebrate it on).

In Christ,
