Christmas 2012

Christmas time is a wonderful time to spend with friends and family as well as a time to enjoy all the lights, decorations, gifts, music, food and all that the magic of Christmas brings. But most importantly Christmas is a time to remember the birth of our Savior, Jesus Christ.  Oh how eternally gratefully we are for the Birth of our Lord and redeemer even Jesus Christ.  Because He came to earth, we have a perfect example to follow.  It is His example which, if followed, stirs within us more kindness and love, more respect and concern for others.  May His precious Spirit be with our family, friends and loved ones where ever they may be this beautiful Christmas season, and may He ever be the center of our celebrations and indeed of our very lives.  With much love we say Merry Christmas to all.  

The girls had a good Christmas this year.  Rachel and Haley still didn't understand what Christmas is all about and they still didn't understand opening of gifts, but they liked the toys they got after they were unwrapped by Thomas or I.

We enjoyed our Christmas at home together as a family.  To spend Christmas with our precious miracle girls is a blessing!  We did have some good friends from our church over for dinner.  It was nice to spend time with them.  We are so grateful for our friends as well as our family.  We love you!  Hope everyone had a very Merry Christmas!



Last, but not least here is a picture of Haley and Rachel that was taken at the girls school.  They are so cute in their angel costumes.  My miracle angels!
