Christmas 2010 Recap (#2)

After we got back from our NC trip on December 31st [New Year's Eve was spent asleep in our beds, we were so exhausted from the trip!], we spent New Year's Day at home unpacking and relaxing and then headed to my parents' to celebrate Christmas with my family.

Family Pic...what a joy it is to have our arms filled this Christmas with our sweet Hannah Beth. We are soo soo blessed.


Reading one of my favorite childhood books "Ping" to my nieces


Quality time with Aunt Natalie


And Uncle Nathan too.


Stockings hung by the fireplace...


Such a great uncle, playing Barbies with the girls :)




Grandma and Grandpa with the grandkids (is it possible to get a good photo with a 4 month old, and 1, 3, and 5 year old? I think not..) Just missing a little [almost] 2 year old in there...always missing, always remembering you, baby Alethia Joy, until the day we meet again!




Hope you all had a very merry Christmas.

So much more than the gift exchanges, parties, friends/family gatherings, and all the other festivities (as wonderful and fun as they may be) we celebrate the most joyous event: that God sent his one and only Son to earth as a humble baby to save us from our sins.
May we all remember this and thank Him for the most precious gift of all, not just during the holidays but throughout the entire year.
