Lizzy's SIX!

Today our Lizzy turned six. What a fun day we had celebrating her life.

The morning started with our traditional presents by the door...




Followed by lunch with mom, a trip to pick up her cake and a stop at Build a Bear to spend some birthday money...



Her bears name is Rapunzel.

It turned out to be a Rapunzel sort of party, I am sure like many girls her age across America. :)

We then had pizza (with olives and pepperoni's) for supper, followed by singing and cake...



We also had some super fun guests including the Harrison Family and Grandma Marge and a quick visit from Mr. Jim...








It was a great day!


We love you Lizzy Joy! Happy Birthday!

O Christmas Tree!

Yesterday we got out all of the Christmas decorations and had a wonderful day of getting the house ready for Christmas...

Daniel was ALL smiles...

He especially liked crawling on top of all of the Christmas totes...


We all worked together...


And this was the end result...


Every year we listen to the same CD as we decorate the tree. This year I especially liked watching my oldest son Drew's face light up as the music came on. He was so excited. We all were. Such a fun tradition!! We use all gold and red for our King Jesus. Red signifying the blood he shed to pay for our sins. And the gold is for the King that He is...the King of Kings and Lord of Lords. All displayed on our ("fake") Evergreen tree signifying His eternal reign.

I love Christmas!
