I was dreaming of a whi-- well..just Christmas :D

Even though we didn't have snow, this year's Christmas was still as wonderful as ever (even more so) because my oldest brother Daniel was home for Christmas for the first time since '07.
It's was so special to have him here!


"the whole gang"
Top row: Jeremiah (20)  Nathanael (17)
Bottom row: Moriah (12)  Abigail (22)  Asher (9)  Daniel (27)  Rebekah (14)


By special request, I was able to get a picture with just my brothers :)
Love you guys!

And then, of course, the typical Christmas traditions...


 ...tree decorations...


...shelf decorations...


and there's nothing like a little coffee in the morning
(yes, I know I'm only 14, but I still like coffee) :)

One of my favorite traditions, though, is when my Dad reads
"The anniversary"
It's the story of a little hunchbacked shepherd boy, alone on a hillside and his encounter with a stranger.

  Year after year, this has brought many a tear to our family.


If anyone would like to read it, please let me know.
It's is a WONDERFUL story!

Sorry this post is so late (time just get's away, doesn't it?)
I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas!

  2. Yes, time does get away fast. I suppose I'll forgive you for not posting because the family pictures do justice. ;)
    Just kidding, I would only pretend to be that rude to you, dear. Thanks for posting (and putting up with me), I love you! =)
