Christmas and Fireplace!!!

So, we bit the bullet and added a fireplace.  This makes my husband so happy!!!

And these two also!!
Troy did such a great job on the surround.


We always love McWane at Christmas!

 
And making gingerbread houses



 Christmas with cousins

They thought they were pretty cool!
 



And crazy Nate, normal Cheryl


we have a tradition to always go to O'Henrys coffee the week before Christmas and get hot cocoa and a fresh chocolate chip cookie.  Love this tradition!


Sometimes we get surprise gifts from our 5yos!!

That's a wrap!


 Christmas for us means spending time with each other and focusing on others rather than ourselves.  We love to do angel trees and Compassion Shoeboxes, not t glorify ourselves but to teach and instill in the children how much we have and how much we can give to those who have next to nothing.  We make special (no buying anything for ourselves trips) to do this hoping that they will really see what it is like to stop thinking of our wants/needs for one hour!  Man do we forget how much we are blessed.  And lastly our other tradition is to spend Christmas Eve at church and then at The Ross's for Christmas Eve dinner then come home and open new PJ's for Christmas night!!
