Christmas Spirit

Well, it's that time of year again. You know, the time where people are going out of there minds trying to get all their shopping finished, and the roads are always busy? Yeah, Christmas time is here again alright. I am excited, myself. It is Layla Jade's and Anna's first Christmas. That's right, we have TWO new baby's this year. They are about 3 weeks apart! It just makes this Christmas all the more meaningful, to see God's work by just looking at these beautiful Baby Girls that he has blessed our family(families) with. My friend, Adrienne, made a good point the other day. She said, "How can you look at a baby, and not believe in God?" She is right. He is the creator of awesome things, but to look at a baby is to believe that they are his greatest, most loved, works!

This year, we started getting in to the Christmas Spirit by attending a Christmas Concert at the Church Aubrey, Josh, and the kids (all 4 of them!!) attend. It was amazing! It lasted nearly two hours, and still had you wanting more! It was Layla Jade's and Anna's first church service to attend. They didn't mind it much, they mostly slept throught the service. Well, Layla Jade slept through the entire service, Anna looked around and checked everything out for a little while. I was so excited to get to bond with my new niece. I didn't get to see her when she was born, because I had Staph Infection and needed to get that taken care of without infecting Mommy and Baby. However, I did get to see her last weekend for a few minutes. Yesterday, I got to hold her for a pretty good while. Both babies were passed around a good bit during the service. Afterwards, we came home and napped for about an hour before going up to Tracey's parents for dinner and a movie. Tracey needed to help his dad work on his bike, and Bradley (Tracey's cousin) is in from Pittsburgh to visit for Christmas. It's that time of year alright, family and friends getting together to celebrate the holidays.

Not too much longer until Christmas is here. Next week, to be precise! Isn't it hard to believe that it is here already? It seems like the year 2008 has just flown right by. I will keep you updated with more pictures as our families get together to celebrate. Have a blessed day!
