Merry Christmas!

I'm convinced that no matter how early I begin preparing for Christmas...I am ALWAYS rushing around last minute to get the last stocking stuffers. I am ready now...I think. Gifts wrapped. Cookies made. Cards sent. Crafts finished. And now we are all excited. I am 38 years old & still get giddy opening presents! Bring it on!!! I have another reason to feel giddy...full of joy.
Every Christmas I think about my salvation. 14 years ago...my new life in Christ began...and it gives Christmas a greater meaning to me than ever before. That day, an amzing gift was offered to me. I opened it. And it changed me inside and out. And HE continues to change me...thank you Lord...for this amazing gift...your Son...fully man and fully God...this gives us a reason to celebrate!
MERRY JOYFUL GIDDY HAPPY CHRISTMAS!
Love,
The Happy Five

Real Men Fold Laundry

Yes...real men...men who love their wives unconditionally, men who are considerate, men who are diligent, men who are patient, and men who are kind.

This photo would be me...if not for my man.

Thank you Bill...for folding laundry. Thank you that even though you work hard all day long & deserve to plop your body down on the couch and veg in front of the tv...you fold the clothes.

THIS is LOVE!

Thank you honey...I owe you...BIG TIME!!!

Searching For Christmas

This year's Christmas Play was wonderful. I feel so blessed that my 3 kids get to be a part of such a wonderful production. Many homeschoolers do not have this same opportunity! How fun to see them all on stage, dancing & singing! I hope you enjoy the slideshow...thanks to my dad for taking such great pictures!
