Take a minute...


I know I've been running like mad trying to get everything ready for Christmas-just like a lot of you out there. ;) There are cookies to bake, last minute gifts to purchase, parties to attend and prepare for, wrapping to be done...the list goes on and on. It can quickly become overwhelming, I know!

We have 3 little ones, so I think it's especially important to make sure we take time to remember what Christmas really means to us as a family. For us it's about a little baby born in a manger a long time ago, it's about the gift God gave us when He sent that little baby. Christmas is about being with the people we love, giving to others and being thankful for the many blessings we have.

It can be tough when everyone is talking about the latest and greatest gift or gadget that you "have to have", but we do our best to keep the focus on the true meaning of Christmas.

In this spirit...I've made a special little slideshow of my one children's favorite Christmas traditions. I hope you enjoy this little glimpse into our little family's special memories.

Our Christmas Tree

And when you're done watching it...take a minute to remember what this season means to you.

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays everyone!

Oh my gosh! What else can I say. The slide show was great! I just love your pics. We all need to remember the true meaning of Christmas, when our great Saviour was born! I hope you and your family have a very blessed Christmas!
