It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas

Here are some getting ready for Christmas pictures! We have had lots of fun already.

putting the ornaments on

looking way too much like my little brother, Briantrying out the super cute Santa outfit from Auntie Laurachillin' in a cool Christmas shirt: "1 smart cookie"
It's true!

at the ECFE Christmas party with his girlfriend (one of them...)

the kids' Christmas program at our church!
We lead the childrens' ministry and teach ages 4-13 (plus a one yr old of course) each week--not easy, but so worth it. We love those kids so much. They did a great job!

They decided Noah needed to dress up too. How could I say no? :)

Merry Christmas!
