New Tradition

I thought I'd start a new tradition. Instead of sending Christmas greetings (Christmas cards), I am going to send Happy New Year Greetings! It gets so incredibly crazy that I just don't get the time to write and send Christmas cards like I want to. So, Happy New Year!! I hope you have all found time to enjoy the holiday season in all its true glory. There were so many chores, so much shopping, so much decorating, so much cooking, phone calling, visiting, wrapping, an on and on. Making Christ the center of this past Christmas seems like an elusive dream. But we were able to find Him in some little ways. So I just wanted to share with you a few things we did to help remind us of our Savior in the middle of the worldly Christmas rush:

We hummed or sang Christmas songs in the car.
Helped a child prepare a nice surprise for a neighbor or sibling.
Enjoyed a little Christmas treat, even if we we're dieting -again!
Secretly did something nice for someone.
Watched a classic Christmas show.
Displayed nativities in our home.
Read Christmas stories
Displayed the Christmas letters and cards we received from family & friends
In our prayers we said more "thank yous" and less "please".
Read Luke 2 with our family.
We told our family members and friends that we love them.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

I give up!!!

I have been trying to get a family picture for months now and it is just impossible!! I wanted to do a family picture for our Christmas cards this year, IMPOSSIBLE!! Somebody is either working or at school or at a meeting or just out with friends. So I've just decided to take individual pictures and put them on a card. Boring but, oh well!

Look I'm blogging!!!!!

I am not really sure what I'm doing. Heather I need your help!! It's taking me a while to get going but I'll get the hang of it. So don't laugh!!!!
