Merry Christmas Mommy

Aren't kids cute? This year for Christmas, I wanted to give Shara a special gift that she could keep for a long time. It is always a good idea to get your kids on camera and have them say really cute things like "Merry Christmas" and "I love you, Mama."



Despite the fact that Cade and Ella were somewhat uncooperative, the video turned out pretty well. Note that I edited out all the fighting.

This year for Christmas we tried to be as conservative as possible. Not only did we not want to bring back a bunch of stuff that will never get used, or worse drive us nuts (loud toys that have batteries), but we also wanted to keep to our budget goals to be completely debt free except for the house in the next few months. So, it was homemade salsa for friends and stocking stuffers for the each other.

This year has been eventful to be sure. We have been very blessed and continue to marvel at all that God has done in our lives. His blessings are far greater than stuff, but rather they are everywhere we look. We give God the praise and glory for the great things He has done.
May God watch over you and your family this new year!

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
