Christmas into the new year

We are well on our way into 2014.  But not too far into that I am not still looking through pictures and thinking about our Christmas season.  For us, December is a very busy time, but also full of fun and family. Here is a look at our December in pictures......

On the morning of Christmas Eve we went over to the church with Troy to get our worship space ready for Christmas Eve service and spent time praying for everyone who would be at the service.  This was one of my favorite moments of our Christmas season.

Christmas Eve jammies and popcorn

The cookies are out for Santa and we are so excited

And in the morning.....they are gone

We spent the week between Christmas and New Years with both sides of our families in Illinois......

Time for more gift opening

We had a very wonderful Christmas season and are looking forward to what this year holds.  I love what one of my favorite writers said at the beginning of the new year, "The future is as bright as the faithfulness of God."  With that truth in mind, we are ready for a new year of God's faithfulness.  Happy New Year!
