Christmas Cookies and a Gingerbread House

Ahh Christmas has come!

How thankful we are for a SAVIOR GOD who humbled himself and became a man so that we would be drawn near to God - free from the deadly consequences of sin and given the gift of eternal LIFE!

And while we are thankful for those things, we celebrate with some family traditions to draw us closer to each other as well.

We think we have missed our calling as artists. We created this amazing gingerbread house. INCREDIBLE!:)

This side Anna did all by herself.

This is the first smile Anna has ever given "on command" for a picture, with her side of the gingerbread house.

We worked hard on it...

...while Bethy played (looked at) with Jacque the Peacock.

We decorated some cookies with the aunts...

Anna's cookie had quite a bit of sugar on it.
