Another Wonderful Christmas


Getting ready for Christmas this year felt really special.  Too stressful at times, though I try my hardest not to give into those kinds of pressures, but mostly joyous.  Thoughts of Mary, a frightened and obedient young girl, faced with awesome and incredible events, humbled me often this season as I reflected on the very first Christmas day in the stable so many years ago.  What an amazing gift was given to us all!

Here are some favorite pics, and I didn't even play with my edits...yet.  Gasp.  :)
Christmas morning (and the night before); family dinner with my folks; Christmas with Bill's family a few nights ago.  Whew!  











Jonah felt inspired to drop and do 20 with his beloved Pats shirt on!

It looks like a great Christmas! I love the photo of the "after-mess" - I am still living in mine. Where to put all those toys...
