Our Christmas has indeed been merry! We have enjoyed time together with family and friends and eaten WAY more sweets than we needed to! Christmas only comes once a year and there are just certain sweets that only taste good during Christmas time! Right?! ;o) If I posted all the pics I have taken in the last few days it would take me literally hours! So, I will pick my favs and highlight our Christmas for you. Our Christmas Eve was spent at my parents making homemade pizza, opening presents and playing games. Christmas morning we spent at home. We finished our Advent story with our main character ending up at the manger to witness Christ's birth. And then with much anticipation, our kids opened their gifts! We 'played' with new toys all day long and then went back out to my parents for sloppy joes and spent time with some more friends that they invited over. We played Chicken Tracks, ate laughed, ate and had a fun time! My dad recieved the game Imagine if.. and boy, is it fun! We had some good laughs playing it! Our family was given a Nintendo Gamecube for Christmas as a family present and we have been enjoying playing it together as a family.
An update on our move: We found out that the couple interested were not able to get financed. We did have another lady call who is interested so we will see... please keep us in your prayers that God will send Danny a job or move us soon!
