Christmas High Lights

We have had a sweet Christmas.  Busy hustle and bustle has shifted to a slower pace of quiet snuggling mornings, no schedules (except for Mark working,) lots of pajama wearing and some organizing as we look toward the new year just around the corner.  There were so many precious moments I wanted to capture in this highlight post (and there will be LOTS of pics) but there are many more that can only be captured in our hearts... the girls anxious to give their sisters the long awaited secrets beneath the wrapping, the sweet prayers thanking God for His son who came as a baby after the announcement by the angels to the frightened shepherds, the laughter as we play as a family new games from under the tree.  It has been sweet for sure!

 Christmas Eve we met up with Gran and Meeps at our church's Christmas Eve service and then headed out to dinner.

Christmas morning we finished up opening gifts and settled into just being.

Praying the sweet blessing of our Rescuer breaking into our world at Christmas will be reflected in how we live all through the New Year ahead!!
