Merry Christmas 2015!



MERRY CHRISTMAS dear family and friends!

 

We are so thankful to our dearest Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, for the many blessings and highlights through this 2015 year.  It is through His grace and mercy that we endure the trials and persecutions, along with the excitement and fun, and

consider it all JOY!





It's been a beautiful year of growth - physical, mental and spiritual; Legos; Beanie Boo Big Eyes; Perler Beads; puzzles; Hot Wheels; neighborhood growth (new babies and families); school field trips; FUN with family and friends; and opportunities to reach out and serve others.

As we wrap up our 2015 with family, we anticipate the new year and all God has to show us.  We look forward to His leading, the people He'll have us share our lives with, the people He'll have us share His life with, and the way He'll have us stay connected with you. 

"My little children, I am writing these things to you so that you may not sin.  And if anyone sins, we have an Advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous; and He Himself is the propitiation for our sins,; and not for ours only, but also for those of the whole world."

1 John 2:1-2

December 2015

We pulled out all of our Christmas tubs this year and when the tree got put up and fluffed the kids couldn't wait to sleep under it.  (We have since put on our ornaments)  We have enjoyed many of our family traditions this month!  A couple of new highlights this month were: The kids set up their Beanie Boos for "family photos" and we had a 6-night Star Wars marathon watching 1-6 in order, in preparation for the new release this month.

Micah's fall season of football (Jets) ended with being 6th seed in regular season. Then placing 3^rd in the playoffs.  Early in December, he participated on the Partridge All-Star team and came out in 4th position.
On December 6th, Lilly participated in the Gingerbread Gymboree.  It was a great experience and her first set of scores to be entered into the USAG.  Lilly's scores:  bars - 9.5 (2nd place); beam - 9.4 (2nd place); floor - 9.2 (2nd place) and vault - 9.0 (tied for 4th place).  She won the overall champion award for her age division - 37.1.
