At this time of Christmas, this season when gifts are given, let us not forget that God gave His Son, and His Son gave His life, that each of us might have the gift of eternal life.

Our kick off to the Christmas Season was seeing Anna and Carson in the Live Nativity for the City. We hope you all create precious memories this Christmas~

Merry Christmas to All our Family and Friends....

Happy Birthday Anna~

All Anna wanted for her 11th Birthday was to get a manicure and pedicure with her mom :) She is growing up so fast! So I checked her out of school early and off we went to pretty our hands and feet and then did a little shopping for her party!

They turned out pretty cute!

We made invitations that looked like pizza slices for her Pizza Party with her friends! The party was so much fun! The girls decorated their own aprons and then made their own pizzas.

  It was so fun to see the creativity in some of these girls.

Anna has a great group of good friends both from our old neighborhood and our new. I am so happy for her!

Happy Birthday Anna~We are so blessed to have your light and love in our family! You are our beautiful princess...and drama queen :)

The only family pic we got was taken right before we went to grandma and grandpas for dinner. And yes we had to wait until Carson finished his game! I love capturing these moments in our life!
