Christmas season...

December is CRAZY...and I love it!!! Everyone in our house has had both the stomach flu and the cold flu...the kids have sat on Santa's lap...we've watched Uncle Clay coach the JV Cougars several times...my cousin had her baby girl and named her Gracie...we decorated for Christmas and attended several parties...and tomorrow I get to visit Max's kindergarten class to help during his Christmas party!!

                     Gabe's Grandpa and Grandma Paulus with all the new babies in the family!!
My little girl in her Santa gear...

My two sweethearts...

Chas with sweet baby Gracie!!

Callie with Great Grandpa Paulus...

and Great Grandpa Raber...

Max with his cousin Lincoln

What a silly crew! Callie, my mom, Hannah, and Max...


What I want most is to be able to convey the true WONDER of this Christmas season. To make sure my children understand the significance of this tiny baby being born who would change everything for you and me...who would bring us HOPE and ensure our eternity. I've really been downplaying the whole Santa thing - not that I think it's bad or anything...I just want Santa to pale in comparison to what Christmas is really about!! Hope everyone has a very Merry Christmas!!!!

Love the pictures! Baby girl is getting so big! We do the same thing with Santa. they are only allowed to ask for ONE thing from Santa.... it's amazing how much small children can absorb. It's the BEST time to share the real reason for the season :)
