~Merry Christmas~

Earlier today I went to Walmart and people were absolutely everywhere. I was thinking I was I dodging people left and right and trying to smile at everyone, it seems that no one knows the real meaning of Christmas anymore. People were trying to get the last minute gifts and everything that they are going to need for Christmas, and everyone was in a hurry. No one really seemed happy.
I want to teach my children that presents are not the reason, nor the center of what the day is all about.

As we were passing a house on the way to my parents, they had a little Santa Clause in every window and then had a little manger scene at the bottom of one of the windows. I told Jason that totally does not even look right, but anymore they both seem to just be a figure at Christmas.
I want Jesus to be the real reason of our celebration and to keep Christ in Christmas. I hope all of can say that we have kept Christ in our Christmas, and we hope that you all have a very Merry Christmas.

Odds and Ends.

Well that is kinda how I feel about this post. A little bit of everything.

This was at Emilee's schools Christmas program. She was an angel and had to say a little line in the program. She did a really good job. We had practiced her line over and over so much that Austin knew it by heart too. And he told her if she was saying it wrong. I don't have any pictures of the program, because I do not have the best camera in the world and they were using the spotlight so the pictures are really dark. She was sooooo happy to be in the program.

They love to color, so this is how you will find them most of the time anymore.

I love this picture. She has a really cute personality.

This little man looks like he has a "pop" belly in this picture. He is so much fun.
