New Years Eve

Uncle Mannie, Tia, and Monkey:)

Justin, Danica, Aiden, Callia, Jessie, Mark and Caleb

We had SO much fun on New Years Eve! I dont know how all of you celebrate, but, for the last four years, Mark and I have had our friends Justin and Danica as well as their kids, and Angie as well as Manuel the last couple of years, over to the house to ring in the New Year with a pajama party! Its been fun to watch as our lives progress every year and recognize God's faithfulness, grace, and blessings bestowed upon each of us. Whatever we do while we're together, its a blast moving into a new year surrounded by friends. We truly are blessed.

Christmas Morning

So, its taken me a while to post pictures, but these are a few of Christmas... aparently I didnt take very many pictures of this year, I think my New Years Resolution is going to be to take more pictures this year... especially since I have such photogenic models to photograph:). We hope your Christmas was spent with family, remembering why we celebrate, Jesus birth. Recently I've been asked why it is that we celebrate Christmas... this is a VERY short explination:)... We know December wasnt really when Jesus was born, but since we can't pinpoint an actual day, not only do we celebrate Jesus all year by accpeting Him as our Lord and Savior and living for him, telling others about Him, but we set aside one special day every year to remember His birth! And, just as He gives gifts to us, we exchange gifts with eachother.

Heres a few current pictures... Caleb sure does love to laugh!
