Christmas 2012


Whew...has it really been a month since I posted? Where do I begin online journaling about December? Wasn't I going to post about Christmas traditions that we hope to incorporate into our family? I don't think I'm going to post about traditions this year after all. I will say this...The Jesse Tree Advent Devotional is wonderful. Also, The Jesus Storybook Bible is amazing. Joshua loves the pictures and its very well written. Also, we love the Fisher Price plastic nativity set and hope to use it through the years. 

That's it for explaining our Christmas traditions this year. My New Year's Resolution is to blog more. :)


We traveled to Scottsboro December 14th for Christmas with the Thompsons and Masseys. We got to see sweet little Reagan. My they've grown!



The uncles decided to help these two open presents.

Some friends of Mamaw and Papaw are Santa for local stores in Scottsboro. They stopped by on their way home for some pictures!


These two already have so much in common. ;o)

Then on the 20th my mom, Joshua and I left our house at 4:30 to pick up Aunt Lala!!! Lauren (my sister) lives in Hawaii and had never met her nephew. Joshua was in such a sweet little mood. I was so excited to see Lauren, I barely needed any coffee for the drive. ;) This is the video from my phone. Its not too clear, but at least it captures the moment.



Here's Joshua entering the airport. As you can see, he's very chipper for 5 am. He can sense the excitement.



Christmas Eve Service at my parents' church.
We baked home made sugar cookies for the first time. 



 And here is the classic six-month-old shot from Christmas morning at my parents. Wrapping paper is for eating...as is everything else right?



After Christmas Lauren came to stay at our house. We spent time hanging out with Joshua, window shopping in Senoia,, and riding horses (well Lauren rode a horse). I hope to post pictures of this later.

Regarding our adoption. We are completing our formal application and hope to be finished by the end of January (really sooner). Praise God from Whom all blessings flow.
