Our Holiday Blessings

Merry Christmas from all of us to you!! We are so blessed this year to have two healthy (besides Paxton's double ear infection) children who are so sweet! Paxton and Lorelei mean the world to us and we know God has given them to us to bring up to love and serve Him. Paxton is learning more about that every day as he gets older and smarter. He knows all about the birth of Jesus and can tell the story of Jesus being born in Bethlehem and there being wise men and shepherds and angels and a bright star. Paxton also has recently begun discussing with us about how Jesus died so that we could live with God in Heaven one day. We have daily discussions about Heaven and some of the things that go along with that. He is the one bringing it up and it has taken us a little bit by surprise that he can discuss this with us but we are happy to answer his questions and take it one step at a time. I am so proud of him and his loving little heart!

Lorelei also knows about baby Jesus, although sometimes she calls him Jacob, I don't know why? She loves our little play Nativity set that I got them this year and plays with it constantly!! Lorelei also has a sweet heart and at least right now is fairly easy going and easy to discipline. We have to remind ourselves that just a gentle "No Lorelei", usually does the trick with her. Whenever you get on to her she will say "All done, hi mama or hi daddy" or hi to whoever has redirected her. We are so blessed by our little miracle.

The pictures below are some from the holiday season and I am sure we will have many more after tomorrow. May we remember the reason for this holiday season, our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ!

Sweet Little Man!

Happy clapping Princess!

This is talking, singing, dancing Santa at my grandmother and aunts house. The kids love him! You can also sing into a microphone hooked up to Santa and he will move his mouth to your words. A big hit with Pax.

Singing some Christmas carols with Grandaddy!
