Christmas 2014...

Each year we have been given to celebrate the Christmas Holiday traditions with each other, we are just so thankful. This year, as a family, we chose to not do a few "traditions" (like Christmas card pics, and Santa visit, and buying gifts galore, even partaking in fifty parties and volunteering ourselves crazy signing up for TOO MUCH....We decided that this season becomes TOO MUCH in the worldly ways in which we strive and seek after all the excess of 'good stuff' that never satisfies. SO this year we made some new traditions, left some old ones in the past and reflect on the memories of them all. I can honestly say, this was one of the very best Christmas Season we have had as a family....More PEACE and true fellowship. These pics bring us a small glimpse into the weeks of joy we experienced together as a family loving each other and praising our Lord God for the true meaning of Christmas anyway, the birth of OUR SAVIOR...our King, our Lord Jesus.....

Thank YOU LORD FOR THIS PRECIOUS BROOD of children....

James was so happy to give me his gift. It was wrapped and ready at Thanksgiving...
He truly was the most excited of everyone to give me my gift. When I opened it, he just teared up with such pride. It was a very special moment and I will never forget it. 

Oh these three girls. They bring more joy to my life than I could have ever imagined. I hope and pray they grow up knowing how adored they are and how valued they are to our family.
