 Little A's first Christmas this year

 

 our four fun children

 

these pictures are from our tree decorating evening.  the kids did a great job.  the three older kids were really into it this year, and so excited when i pulled out one of their ornaments.  i remember hanging my very own ornaments as a child.  i only have one from my childhood, it's from my very first Christmas.  i always hang it on the tree every year, no one else get to do that one.

 

i hope all of you are enjoying this Christmas season, hopefully slowing down a bit and really reflecting on what this time is all about, the birth of Jesus.  i'm taking it easy this year on presents, making a lot of them myself.  i will have to do another post on that when i have more of them done.
