With a heart full of gratitude,
with a heart in awe of His mercy,
with a heart overwhelmed by His grace...
I give thanks.
0245
a Christmas Eve service, a time to rejoice... with songs of deliverance, our candles held high
0246
the gift of His Word and His promises... true
0247
a time of celebration, a time to give thanks... a time to remember the gift of His love
0248
the soft glow of lights, a roaring fire, sleeping babes, the anticipation of things to come
0249
a silent night
0250
and then... a white Christmas on the mountain with Grandmom & Pops
0251
eyes of wonder and eyes of delight
0252
and children-- never-tiring, always-laughing, ever-smiling... priceless gifts
0253
Super Mario pajamas, a Transformers helmet, an acoustic guitar,
and the imagination of a 5-year old
0254
family traditions... stockings on the table... an orange in the bottom... precious memories
0255
big Uncle Dave and his family... they made it!
0256
more homemade doughnuts, fabulous feasts, laughter around the table... all of us
0257
new games & old, sled races & snow, cousins together, fun all around... family
0258
silly boys
0259
funny faces & favorite jokes
0260
and laps that always have room
0261
Everyone together... the grandkids, all well... music & dancing... rejoicing
0262
a wonderful year and the new one to come
0263
new opportunities,
and family to share them all
"Give thanks to the LORD, call on His name;
make known among the nations what He has done.
Sing ot Him, sing praise to Him;
tell of all His wonderful acts."
Psalm 105: 1-2
and the list continues...

ah... heaven on earth - your parents house. I sigh just looking at it. Glad you had fun... I'm still waiting for the "adoption" papers to go through. ;)
Love you guys.

Okay. Wow.

What a joyful, loving celebration Heather. It all looks so perfectly lovely. How precious it is to gather with family and know that He is there too because you all love Him. I think that is the greatest treasure in the world.
