Countdown to Christmas

This week was a lot of fun with the girls.:) Christmas has always been a ball, but the joy of Christmas is SO real for Nathan and me this year as we celebrate Jesus with our girls. Every part of the celebration is filled with laughter and excitement, and I'm so thankful for my kids. As with everything, life is just better with them in it! This week, we built a fort in the living room to play under. What fun!!! I remember doing this when I was a kid, and it was just as fun with Sade and Ryles.


Here we are getting ready for church in our new dresses from Nanny and Papa .... I think we were still waiting on Daddy to finish blow drying his hair. ;o)

Have more delightful gingerbread "girls" ever existed????

Going to the Jena High School "Most Beautiful" pageant to see Hannah...awfully sleepy eyeballs!

A GORGEOUS Hannah Randall with the girls...she looked amazing!! So proud to call her ours!

On Saturday, we had Christmas with the Sharbs, and we came home with so many wonderful treasures. Mrs. Dixie made aprons and scrapbooks for the girls, and they were perfect! I am blessed with wonderful in-laws who have supported and loved Nathan and me since we started dating. I am SO thankful that my girls have two sets of grandparents who love them and will teach them about Jesus and that HE is our treasure. Thanks Pop, Grammie, Nanny and Papa!! You are irreplaceable in our lives.
Saturday evening, we went to see the lights in Natchitoches. It was a little drizzly, but the girls had a great time. They were thrilled by the fireworks, and their expressions were hilarious. I'll try to post a video so you can hear the sweet screams! ;o)

Thanks, Hez, for our fuzzy vests...you keep us in high fashion!!!!!





Wade, Kurt, Mandy, and Carson...we missed you!!!! Here is the clan...my how the Brinker family has grown!!!!! I love you all more than words can express.
Looking forward to a great week! The Randall family Christmas is Saturday, and we are already looking forward to seeing all of our cousins. I can't wait to see how much all the kids have grown...hooray for the holidays. Thanks, Jesus, for being born!!!!!! ;o)
