The Lord is near. Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all comprehension, shall guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. ~Philippians 4:4-9

Our family is a circle of strength and love, with every birth and every union, the circle will grow, every joy shared adds more love, every crisis faced together, makes the circle stronger

We have been playing lots of basketball with an undefeated season so far...only one game left and then it will be tournament time!! My little man is 33 there dribbling the ball... he has improved so much since his first season of basketball last year and has loved it!!

got a new Christmas tree this year and I love it!! I wanted a 9 ft slim instead of my 7.5 ft big tree...i love.love.love it!!
Sam started his lego advent calendar to count down the days till Christmas and our elf dasher made his grand appearance again for the 3rd year (sorry no pics of dasher :)
we took a weekend getaway to nashville and spent the night at the opryland hotel!! this was at the rockettes at the grand ole opry...it was a wonderful show, you weren't supposed to take pics but I had to sneak one of this beautiful nativity....it was just beautiful...the best part of the show for sure!!
