Christmas 2007

Christmas was wonderfully busy this year with 2 active kiddies, tons of family in town, and party after party (and we didn't even make it to all of them!)

I am beginning to see how amazing it is to be a parent during this time of year. When I think back on how often we have talked about Jesus in our home during the past few weeks I can see how it has been such a blessing for our little family, and certainly helped me feel more connected to the true meaning of Christmas.

It has also been so fun to feed off of Bentley's sheer excitement and joy over all that is associated with this holiday. He literally jumped for joy when he saw Santa on Christmas Eve--it was too cute :)
Our gift for Grandma and Grandpa (they are part of a set of 5--one of each grandkid)
Caroline wasn't as sure of Santa as the older children but Aunt Heidi helped her feel reassured. Plus, she is Caroline's new personal stylist :)

Precious pictures--especially the one of you with Caroline on the horsie (she's on the horsie). And wonderful memories! It was a sweet and beautiful Christmas. We love you!
