Christmas Eve.

Just a few of our self portraits on we took on Christmas Eve before we started festivities!

More of our wonderful Christmas coming soon.

 

A white Christmas.

 

 

 

We had a snowed in white Christmas and although we didn't get to go to Mass or see Ryan's parents, we still got to stay at home and enjoy each other; and I must say, it was really nice.

We (Ryan) finally got around to child proofing the cabinets the other night and it was the sweetest thing watching Annie trying to help her daddy. She loved the drill and I love all the excited and concentrated faces she makes while helping.

Words.

Here are a few words that a co-worker shared with me. I think it speaks loudly of what our society is like today. Everyone wants no Authority and everything the easiest way. Yet God did not tell us that following him was ever going to be easy. Believe in Him. He is the reason for the season.

 

Christianity has not been tried and found wanting; it has been found difficult and not tried. - G K Chesterton.

The danger when men stop believing in God is not that they believe in nothing, but that they will believe in anything. - G.K. Chesterton.

I thought I'd share a small look into one of our days with cousin Patrick and Audrey over. Enjoy.

And then it was on to basketballs and more cell phones. Happy Friday!

I Love My Daddy Because...

As per Annie...

I love my daddy because- He reads me stories.

 

 

It's starting to look a lot like Christmas.

Notice I said LOOK and not FEEL like Christmas! Wow. I love the weather but I'm starting to wish it was a little cooler.

Here is a bit of our Christmas spirit.
