Christmas in pictures

Wow...Christmas has come and gone, it passed by amazingly fast this year!!! And...we just finished our last Christmas this past weekend. We had our own Christmas here with the four of us then headed to Llano for a few days with my family. We had a great time just relaxing and being at the ranch. We celebrated New Year's Eve here at home and then New Year's/Christmas began with the Chance side. Everyone came down for a few days and we celebrated through yesterday. It was so wonderful to be with all our family and enjoy the holidays!!! Now for the pictures...
we started the holidays with our Life Group Christmas party in our home

Such a fun season!!! One more memory I wanted to share. We have been talking and reminding Colten that Christmas is about giving as much as it is about receiving and being thankful for what we have. So...we bought presents and sponsored a little boy, Colten's age through Caleb's work. We also got together toys and clothes to give away. One morning he was with me getting ready and he was sitting in front of the mirror and said "Mommy, look at all my teeth"...yes Colten, you do have alot. "Do you think I can give some away to a little boy who doesn't have as many?" That's a great thought Colten, but that would be hard to do. "Well, what about giving some to Cambry?" It was priceless...at least he got the message, such a sweet boy (most of the time)!!!
