A New Year is Upon Us

I hope everyone has had a great Christmas. Ours was wonderful! We read the Christmas story as a family and had a wonderful time opening gifts on Christmas morning. I made a breakfast casserole and cinnamon rolls. mmm, tasty! We went to our Aunt's home in the afternoon for Christmas dinner. It was scrumptious! The group played a game and then watched a movie projected on the wall-great fun:)
I hope all of you were able to reflect on the real reason we celebrate Christmas- the birth of Christ. It is meaningless unless our Saviour is at the center of it all. May you have a wonderful rest of 2007.

Above is a picture of Nathan and Ian during our weekend in Shelby over Christmas. The boys loved the dancing and singing penguins!

I also need to give a quick shout out to Bella Smith. She is 1yr old today and battling a double ear infection. Poor baby, get better soon! Happy Birthday Bella:)
