Holidays and Christmas Day

December 01, 2006 - December 31, 2006

Merry Christmas, 2006!

Holiday baking. I love Thumbprint Cookies!

We celebrated Advent this year as a family and we had fun trying to teach Joshua to blow out candles. It was good practice for his birthday!

Everyone was so generous! What a blessing to be able to enjoy both receiving and giving!

A few moments captured at my parents' home on Christmas morning.

Joshua's first Christmas was kind of a blur to him!

But he managed to find moments of peace!

We were reminded many times of how many blessings we have to count!

The pater familias reads a Psalm of praise before the Christmas feast begins at the Evans home.

More generous relatives!

After all the food and fellowship, games and fun, we went home and put together new toys, exchanged the last few presents, and finished Advent.

God blessed us richly this year!!!
