On behalf of my family, we hope your holiday was filled to the very top with twinkling lights, sweet treats, out of town guests, and love!  Most importantly though, we hope your holiday season was full of the reminder of God's love toward each of you!  This year, more than any other, I was aware of a sense of sadness that people experience at Christmas time.  Many are reminded of heartache and pain at a time when they want to feel most happy.  I hope that this year you were able to recognize that God's love is what makes the holidays worth smiling about.  And more than just smiling, but REJOICING!  Thanks be to Him who LOVES deeper than we have ever been able to love anyone.

I love waking up early, seeing the tree lit, and searching underneath it for the new gifts!

Nasia and Greg excited to open their presents

Caleb got a lot of ski gear!  He's hoping to use it soon :)

We skyped for a little bit with Jarod and his family in Georgia! 

Greg and Caleb got the same coat this year!

Hannah is excited!

Our new puppy!  We got Indy in September.  His full name is Indiana Pooper! lol...reason being? We had never had to house train a puppy  before.  We love our new little guy - he's a great dog.

The brown eyes of the family :)

Just havin' a little photo shoot by the tree!

This picture is from a girls outing this Christmas!  We went to see a ballet for the first time ever - Nutcracker!  We went with some other friends and ended the evening with the Cheesecake Factory! *mmmm*

The whole family was together at Thanksgiving!  

May you know Jesus's presence in a new way this year -

HAPPY 2012
