Christmas Eve

Mary did you know that your baby boy would one day walk on water?
Mary did you know that your baby boy will save your sons and daughters?
Did you know that your baby boy would come to make you new?
This child that you've delivered, will soon deliver you.

Mary did you know that your baby boy would give sight to a blind man?
Mary did you know that your baby boy will calm a storm with his hand?
Did you know that your baby boy has walked where angels trod?
And when you kiss your little baby, you have kissed the face of God.

The blind will see, the deaf will hear and the dead will live again.
The lame will leap, the dumb will speak, the praises of the lamb.

Mary did you know that your baby boy is Lord of all creation?
Mary did you know that your baby boy will one day rule the nations?
Did you know that your baby boy is heaven's perfect Lamb?
This sleeping child you're holding is the great I Am.

O' Christmas Tree

Talking to Aunt Sandy

Cute, cute Ollie talking to 'Nandy'.

Chloe Staying with Aunt Sando

Happy with high expectations on staying with Aunt Sandy. Will I be able to deliver? Hah! Thankfully, it doesn't take much for a 3 year old.

Since Aunt Sandy didn't have appropriate "kid" food for dinner, Chloe requested Taco Bell (big fan of the cheese rollup thing) and that we eat it at a park.

After playing on the playgroud, we took a walk to the lake. Love that little girl and those mountains.

Throwing rocks in the lake is cool.
She could do this all night.

"Aunt Sandy, can I have pink icecream?" Of course. (Could you say no? Note to her mom - she didn't eat the whole thing and it was a kid size.)

Celebrating Nick Day

Nick, Ollie, Scott, Sando, Brad - how I love these boys. Where's Don-Don?
