MERRY CHRISTMAS!

A few days ago, we visited the special Christmas light display at Acadian Village in nearby Lafayette, LA. Jacob loves Christmas lights, so he was enthralled. The rest of us enjoyed it, too!





And of course, it's Christmas Day! Christmas is very special for us this year; it's Ryan's first Christmas, and he gets to spend it with Grandma and Papaw. We enjoyed opening presents, plus a Christmas feast of smoked turkey, and wonderful time together.













This holiday season, remember the reason for the season. If you haven't read Luke 2 today, please take a moment right now to read and remember the miracle of Christmas.

Hank's Birthday

Saturday was Hank's birthday. He had to go to a rehearsal that afternoon, so we celebrated bright and early after breakfast. Ryan enjoyed the wrapping paper - as did Jacob. I made an awesome chocolate cake, but it was devoured on Wednesday night at a party so no pictures. oops.. It was a great day for Hank/Daddy!

Jacob's Christmas party at school

on Friday Hank had time to watch Ryan so I could go to Jacob's party at school. I worked in the "necklace" center and we had 4 groups of kids go around the room to do all the activities. Then we all ate cookies and chips :) There was singing too - Jacob's favorite thing about school I am convinced!

Little kids singing Christmas songs :)
