Jayden's Christmas Pix

This years Christmas season is especially joyous and reminds me of the true meaning of the holiday. The Sunday after Thanksgiving, my mom-in-law came to church with us, then came over to our house afterward. Dale took the opportunity to spend some quality time rocking Jayden in the glider, while Cheryl and I decorated our Christmas tree. This was a lot of fun because we all reminisced about family stories of Christmas past while we were decorating. Holidays tend to pass by so quickly that it's hard to stop and enjoy them. But this year time with Jayden and our family and friends is the most important thing on our Christmas wish list. After we decorated our tree Jayden and I spent part of a morning the next week having our play time near it, and of course my camera was never too far from me. So here are some of those precious memories...

So Much to be Thankful For...Thanksgiving 2011

Dale and I have been very blessed in our lives. For that, we feel very fortunate! This year, we feel especially thankful; many, many, many prayers were answered when we took our Baby J home from the hospital in the beginning of October. So yesterday, on Thanksgiving day, when we were able to celebrate our first Thanksgiving with him, we offered up thanks to God for answering those many prayers, and granting us this joyous blessing in our lives. Here's some pix of Baby J with his fam celebrating the day.
