Tis the Season

Christmas carols, Christmas decorations, Christmas cards, Christmas lights, Santa, Advent, Advent wreath, stories about Jesus, his birth, and his family, the Elf on the Shelf, cookies, shopping, presents, wrapping, and parties...to our children, this is their favorite time of the year!

A picture of Helaina being very resourceful in order to hang her window clings high enough that her brother won't be able to touch them.  

Decorating the tree, Helaina style

Spending lots of mornings and evenings in nothing but our pajamas

Today we had the honor of attending Matthew Khoury's Baptism and 1st Birthday party.  I simply cannot believe that he is going to 1 in just a couple weeks.  Helaina and Zachary were beyond excited to attend both events and Father George was great in including all the kids in the ceremony.

Sweet, sweet faces.

After the Baptism we attended Antonio's for a lunch and birthday celebration.  What could be better than lunch, cake, and ice cream with your cousins?!?

All the girls playing doctor in the middle of the restaurant.
                                      

The birthday boy!

Poor guy, the other kids couldn't keep their hands out of his cake.
Such a special season and such a special day for all of us. We are beyond blessed and very thankful for all of God's love and mercy.
