Merry Christmas!!!!

Truett and I buried the kids in the sand. They loved it.



I hope this time of year brings you all to remember the real reason for Christmas...Jesus' birth. The girls and I were at Walmart this last week and this older woman stopped me to tell me how cute my girls were and then asked them if they were all ready for Santa to bring them a gift. I politely said, "We do not believe in Santa". And this poor old woman looked at me with such disgust before I could even explain. Right about then Kierra piped in and said, "Christmas is about baby Jesus being born in Bethleham, not about Santa and presents." I was so proud of her. This woman just said, "Well, that's nice isn't it" and walked away. I was so proud of Kierra for standing up for Jesus. I know she probably didn't understand, but I would hope that we can teach our children that it is for Jesus our Lord and Savior that we celebrate Christams!

Truett, Will's brother was here this last week and we had such a great time. We all went back to the sand dunes in White Sands, NM. It was nice and warm and we played there a good part of the day. Then the next day we went hiking and we decided that we have a great rock climber - Kierra. She is nuts on the rocks and it makes Notice Kierra in the bag. me so nervous. But she loves it forsure.

We will be going to one of Will's classmate's house for a Christmas Eve party. It will be nice to be able to spend that time with someone else's family. Then Christmas Day we will just chill here in the apartment. I am just cooking a low key dinner as we are all sick now. Hopefully the girls will be feeling better by Christmas. Will and I should be on the mending edge soon. Now we can only hope we don't get the girls' pink eye. LOL.

These pictures kind of loaded funny, but they are all from White Sands and hiking the hill right behind our apartments.

We hope this finds you all well and enjoying family. We love and miss you all!
Merry Christmas!!
