Our annual Christmas tradition!

Every year, on the day that we put our Christmas decorations up, we enjoy a tradition. First we eat pizza or whatever we want for dinner, then we have a pajama exchange. Jason and I get each other pj's and the we get them for the kids. Everyone puts their new cozy pj's on and we watch Christmas movies, eat goodies and sleep in the living room by our newly decorated tree. Lots of Fun!

So many reasons to be thankful!

I often wonder why God has blessed me in so many ways. I am unworthy and constantly reminded of how sinful I am. I am so thankful for God's free gift of salvation. I thought I'd make a short (certainly not complete) list of the reasons why I am thankful. Here they are:
1. My salvation and relationship with Jesus Christ
2. My wonderful husband
3. My four children
4. The opportunity to have my two nephews living with us. (I love having a big family)
5. A house that is comfortable and fits us all.
6. Food
7. Wonderful parents that raised me in a Godly home
8. Terrific In-Laws ( not many people can say that)
9. Close friends that we have known since we were young (8 yrs old)
10. Health
11. Hope of eternity in heaven

Hallowean!

Yes, I know I am a little behind. What can I say except that I am busy. I love homeschooling but I am not keeping up with everything because my time is very full with teaching. Anyways, we had a fun Hallowean. As you can see, we had a Chinese theme going. My parents went to China during the summer for the Olympics and brought home these wonderful outfits. I colored Providence's hair black for the occasion.
