We had a great Christmas and are sad to be leaving family, but excited to get back to real life. We spent Christmas with my family, which means lots of noise and craziness. We had fun making cookies, acting out the nativity, eating lots of food, and just being crazy. The boys fit right in with all the chaos and will miss the constant attention and excitement. They loved opening all their presents and got way to many toys. Hopefully they will be entertained by them when we get home, because I can't fill the role of their aunts and uncles and its going to be a rough adjustment. We are grateful for the good year we had and know that we were blessed in so many ways. We are looking forward to another eventful year, and hope by the end we can really be settled down somewhere for an extended period of time! Here are a few pics to highlight our Christmas: Decorating cookies Acting out the nativity Christmas Morning
So many people walk around with a meaningless life. they seem half-asleep, even when they're busy doing things they think are important. This is because they're chasing the wrong things. The way you get meaning into your life is to devote yourself to loving others, devote yourself to your community around you, and devote yourself to creating something that gives you purpose and meaning. ~Tuesdays with Morrie
