Remember the Reason for the Season

The Kiddos' Room

The children love to decorate their room for Christmas. I just give them their decorations and let them go!

It's Beginning to Look a lot Like Christmas

Our house is completely decorated. We love the Christmas season. Here are some pics of our dining room, living room, and outside decorations.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING

PSALM 100

Make a joyful shout to the LORD, all you lands!
Serve the LORD with gladness;
Come before His presence with singing.
Know that the LORD, He is God;
It is He who has made us, and not we ourselves;
We are His people and the sheep of His pasture.

Enter into His gates with thanksgiving,
And into His courts with praise.
Be thankful to Him, and bless His name.
For the LORD is good;
His mercy is everlasting,
And His truth endures to all generations.
