Joy

Galatians 5:22-23

²² But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, ²³ gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law.

When I look at this picture of baby Collin, all I see is joy. Love it.

Merry Christmas!

This Christmas season our family had a lot of fun, especially with adding another little boy to all the madness. I loved making Christmas crafts with them, including thumbprint reindeer and a huge hand print Christmas tree. We read a lot of Christmas books and watched a lot of Christmas movies too, including our favorite How the Grinch Stole Christmas.

Some of this season's more comical highlights:
McLain: "Mom, Santa is like a stalker. But better."
Keaton: "Mama? You wet me out of dis buggy? If you don't, you go on da NAUGHTY list!"

Both of our families went to the Christmas Eve service at our church. We were very proud of Clay and his version of a modern day, redneck shepherd. Please view the attached link!

We had a very relaxing Christmas day. We spent the morning at home in our pajamas and the evening with both of our families at my parents' house. I love that we all enjoy being together. Can't wait to do it again next year!
